Trailer Tow Mirrors for a Nissan Frontier!!!

Hi: All. If you're towing with a Nissan Frontier here's a custom fit towing mirror. They're heated, powered, extendable, and fold in for tight parking spaces. Plug and play!!! http://www.1aauto.com

Very cool Alf.

I am assuming when you say plug and play one simple uses the current wiring harness that controls the heat & inside adjustment buttons on the stock mirrors.
Do you need to manually extend the mirror out or has that somehow been magically designed to work with the stock mirror controls as well?

Roy they have several different versions or at least appear to for the Frontier - you are best to put the make model year in the input spot at the top left of the site and it will give you everything it has for the year of Frontier you own. Then click on mirrors - the ones Alf has appear on the 2nd page of mirror listings on my search.

Hi: Carol H...The extension of the mirrors is a manual pull out and the fold in is also manual. The heat and adjustment of the large section mirror are via the wire harness and stock truck controls.
Hi: Roy in TO... The part # is 1AMRP01310.

LOL Elephant ears or not they look better than the extenders I currently own!

BTW are you getting excited about your new trailer???? I am going to be heading out to Escape sometime over the next few days as they are making an addition to my trailer to make my new tug/trailer combo a bit more user friendly/accommodate my stuff! ;-) so perhaps I will get a sneak peek of your new one while there....

Their site only lists mirrors for model years from 2005 to present. Mine is a 2004, so I'm a little reluctant to plunk down close to 250 bucks on something that may or may not fit.

Hey Alf, why do you have to remove the door panel? I checked my Haynes manual to see and while it tells you to do it it doesn't show why. Raz

Hi: P. Raz... The plug part of the plug and play is behind the door panel... so you must remove both panels from the door. The black one for the mirror mount 10mm. bolts and the grey one 2 10mm. bolts behind the armrest and 1 10mm. bolt behind the door handle escutcheon. It took us time to figure it out without any instructions or manual. In the pic. I am doing the plugging!!! Second mirror was easy!!!

Raz, its my understanding is if the truck has power mirrors the panel has to come off as the harness for the power mirrors is behind the door panel, if no power mirrors then you don't need to take the panel off.

Some more info for those considering adding these mirrors: in other discussions with Alf, I learned that these mirrors add a few inches to the width of your vehicle. An additional 7" if I recall.

Given that I park my truck in the garage during the winter, that makes the extra width an issue for me. Not impossible, but definitely a challenge to get the truck in the garage with the mirrors extended. So I got these mirrors I'd be left with the options of being very careful and meticulous when I park, or opening my driver's window and folding the mirror every time, or parking out in the snow and ice. I'm still sitting on the fence as to whether I want to grab them or not.

Is that extra 7" when they are retracted or when they are fully extended?

Sorry for the lack of clarity... The extra 7" is when the mirrors are neither folded nor extended. That is, when they're in the normal non-towing configuration.

And that's 7" total -- 3.5" each side.
