There are a few kits for automating the mirror folding but you can also do it with an Arduino. I made an instructable for the J10 if that sounds interesting: https://www.instructables.com/id/Build- ... -Automate/

Not sure how much it'll apply to the J11 but my guess is that most of it does still apply if you don't have this from factory.

All J11 models built before 21th July 2014 did not come with auto folding mirrors. viewtopic.php?t=1135#p11924

From looking at the manual, looks like this could easily be extended to provide 12V to powered windows for the 15 seconds after taking the key out of ignition, by simply connecting M19 connector pin 8 (blue) to the arduino power, instead of to the BCM. The window control apparently does not go through the BCM, except for power supply, the rest is controlled by a seaprate cpu. I'm gonna try this mod in the next few days if no one says it won't work.

My ex's measly 2006 peugeot had this feature where you could operate most things for a while after disconneting the key and it was actually nice so I missed that when I switched to a 2013 nissan... it kinda obviates the need for the window auto-close kit.
