Tow mirrors for stx

[Lricaud81]

Where are you guys finding best prices for tow mirrors. I have an stx so only need power and I believe their heated. Don't need anything else happy with just that. Do they have a direct plug and play for my stx.
Has anyone with an stx gotten plug and play tow mirrors and where did you get them.

Check out Boost Auto, a few people on here have gone that route and I believe you can get a set built however you like.

I'd seen those but they have the turn signal on them too. I don't want to have to run wires for signal and dont want a non-functioning light on it.
I'd rather just have like what's on my truck now but tow.
Wonder if I emailed them they could do without light on it.

It's just a simple jumper wire. I installed Boost Auto tow mirrors on my previous truck and everything worked great. It's the most cost effective solution. You won't be able to get running lights with Ford mirrors without adding modules anyway. Let alone turn signals...

Wheres the jumper wire gotta run from. I'd rather just not have them so I don't mess anything up trying to run a wire. Lol.

It's just 2 wires coming from the BCM (I believe) in the passenger foot well. You don't have to cut any wires you just use the taps and jumper they provide for running lights on the mirrors. The units have internal circuitry to blink the running lights as turn signals too. My OEM Ford mirrors on my new truck didn't even do that, just those two puny little rear facing lights like in the non tow mirrors.

Their customer support is awesome too. I once had to exchange an order with them and it was super easy. I can't recommend them more unless they paid me to do so lol

Hmmmmm. I’ll ask my son. He’s a Forscan guru and just installed Ford tow mirrors on his 2023 STX and configured them to light up. I’m not sure if the signals work.

Your son doesn't live in Louisiana does he. Lol. There's a few things I want to do to my truck via forscan but terrified ill mess things up. To say I'm not very tech savvy is an understatement. Lol

Nope, Illinois. And yes, he DOES have signals WITHOUT jumper wires. All forscan.

So completely plug and play and forscan has working blinkers. Hmm good to know thanks

Blinkers will work, parking/running lights will not.

 

[Smokewagun]

Not correct. Parking and running work as well.

I would also recommend Boost Auto, I recently put a set on my XLT. I had everything except power fold/360 cams. The jumper wire is extremely easy and Boost Auto has detailed step by step instruction videos. You would have to try to mess it up IMO.

 

[Smokewagun]

You don’t need a jumper with OEM mirrors. It can all be done via Forscan.

 

[Lricaud81]

I honestly don't even want any lights or blinkers on them just tow mirrors. Lol. Looks like I won't be able to get that tho
