Installation of side mirrors of the new SE model on Lada Granta, Kalina

14 February 2018 Lada.Online 89 452 10

AVTOVAZ first began installing side mirrors of the new SE model (with heating, electric drive and turn signal indicators) on the Lada Granta liftback. Then they began to be equipped with Luxe trim levels of the sedan. The following describes how to install and connect standard liftback mirrors with your own hands to simpler versions of the Lada Granta sedan, as well as to the Lada Kalina station wagon and hatchback.

Heated mirrors

Autumn and winter will bring both rain and snow, or even better, both at the same time, mirrors and our

visibility will suffer. Therefore, in wet weather, in snow or when the mirrors are icy, the “mirror heating” function is indispensable, because it will literally warm them up in 4-5 minutes and dry them, just while the car is warming up.

We buy special mirrors

Installation:

1. Remove the rear mirror trim and the mirror element - this is the most difficult and important thing.

2. Next, unscrew the 3 bolts from the interior and disconnect the mirror from the bracket.

3. Now you need to pull the wires through the special holes where the adjustment cables pass.

4. Assemble the mirrors in reverse order.

A special feature of the Lada Granta Liftback is a new modification of the side-view mirrors. By default, they are included as standard, unlike the Lada Granta Sedan, Priora, VAZ 2109, 2108, 21099.

Due to various reasons, such as an accident, collision, impact, reflectors are damaged. The replacement process is not at all complicated; every car enthusiast can do it.

In order to provide methodological assistance to inexperienced owners of the Lada Granta Liftback, we recommend following the instructions below.

Installation

Remove the door trims and dismantle the old exterior mirrors (by removing the mounting screws). Mirrors of the new SE model are installed in place of the old ones without modifications.

To install the joystick, make a hole in the door trim using a file or a utility knife. Sample:

To stretch the wires from the interior to the doors (see connection below), you will need to drill a hole in the door rosette with a drill (or find a suitable female-male connector).

Sequence of actions when replacing a side view mirror yourself

1. We place the car on a level platform and provide unobstructed access to the front door from the side where the replacement will be.
2. We unscrew the two screws that secure the door card trim and pry the plastic clips around the perimeter.
3. From the back side, disconnect the block with wires from the electric drive control unit, disconnect the speaker terminals, and remove the card.
4. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the three screws and remove the side-view mirror from its seat.
5. We replace the block with a new one and screw it into place. We lay the block with wires and connect them to the sockets. We assemble the structure.

Wiring diagram for mirrors on Grant Liftback

There are six pins in total, of which:

• No. 1 – horizontal adjustment;
• No. 2 – —/— vertically;
• No. 3 – weight of the control unit;
• No. 4 – heating;
• No. 5 – turn signal repeater;
• No. 6 – general “minus”.

Connection diagram by wiring color

• blue – left side;
• white – side lights;
• blue – right side;
• white – black – “plus”;
• black – “minus”;
• green – common on both sides of the mirrors;
• red – general.

Reviews

Conclusion The process of independently replacing side-view mirrors on the Lada Grante Liftback is not at all difficult. The design is fixed with three screws, connection to the power circuit is carried out by two blocks with wires. Following the recommendations given in this manual, replacing a new mirror will take no more than 10 minutes. Negative reviews from some owners are unfounded and are caused by violation of the operating conditions of the technical equipment and failure to comply with maintenance schedules.

Which mirrors are suitable for the VAZ 2114 without modifications - review, prices, advantages and disadvantages

Safe driving is impossible without a normal view of the area around the car. The presence of side mirrors allows you to navigate when reversing, when changing lanes and when overtaking. The standard mirrors on the VAZ 2114 are uninformative and inconvenient in terms of adjustment. Replacing them with third-party options is a typical procedure for owners of “fours”. Understanding which mirrors are suitable for the VAZ 2114 will help the owner of the 2114 in choosing.

Disadvantages of standard side mirrors on the VAZ 2114

Before considering options with modifications, it would be useful to recall the shortcomings of standard mirrors on the Samara family of the first and second generations:

• The small size of the mirror element makes the “dead” viewing area too large;
• Low structural strength of the standard version;
• Inconvenient handles for adjusting the tilt of the mirror element;
• Weak fastening of the body to the door.

The abundance of shortcomings and bad reviews leads to consideration of the option of purchasing non-standard mirror options. Below we will look at which side mirrors are suitable for the VAZ 2114 and other AvtoVAZ models with a similar design.

New style side mirrors with neutral anti-glare

The deterioration of standard mirrors and the reluctance to install freelance models in their place is worth considering a modified version in the usual plastic design.

The price for this variation is about
900 rubles . The modified model differs from the standard ones in the rounded corners of the body and a different plastic texture. The mounting and adjustment method are identical to the factory design. Keep in mind that popular versions of side mirrors of the VAZ 2114 must meet the technical indicators and requirements:

• A clear reflection without glare or abrasions should provide visibility around the machine;
• The folding function will avoid structural damage and reduce the level of injury in the event of a possible accident;
• The body should not stick out too much to the sides.

Otherwise, the choice depends on the owner and budget.

"Polytech" with electric drive, heating and repeaters

A popular variation of tuned mirrors is “Polytech” with electric drive, heating and repeaters. The price for "Polytech" is about 6,000 rubles .

In addition to the catchy design, this option is of interest to 2114 owners for the following reasons:

• The electric drive simplifies the adjustment process;
• The heating function allows you to quickly warm the mirror element from ice in winter;
• The turn signal repeater attracts the attention of other road users;
• Anti-reflective coating makes driving comfortable in the dark.

The Polytech mount differs from the standard one and requires minor modifications during installation.

Side mirrors "Granta" style

Some design solutions in VAZ models can be called successful. “Grant” mirrors look great not only on the “Grant” itself, but also on models from early years of production.

The modified mount allows the model to be installed on the Samara family.
The price of the version with mechanical adjustment is about 4,000 rubles . There are several advantages of the “Grant” style:

• Good review;
• Easy lever to adjust the tilt of the mirror element;
• Stylish appearance.

The heating and turn signal repeater function makes this variation even more interesting to buy. Installation is carried out without problems and unnecessary modifications. Strong fixation is ensured by a modified fastener design. If the listed varieties are not enough, then we will give a couple more examples of which mirrors are suitable for the VAZ 2114.

Model "Rostov"

For those who want to “round out” the angular shapes of the “four” body, there is a variety of “Rostov” mirrors with mechanical adjustment. The main difference from stock is the rounded shape of the body and glossy plastic. Otherwise, “Rostov” is not equipped with options, so the price of these mirrors is small - about 2500 rubles .

The overview of the Rostov side mirrors is better than the factory indicators, so this option can be safely considered for purchase. The fastening of the structure does not differ from the factory ones, so it can be built in without any problems.

Option “Peter” with blue anti-glare

The “Peter” modification, similar to “Rostov”, is covered with a blue anti-glare coating and is also not equipped with additional functions. Mechanical adjustment, lack of heating and simple body shape are due to the price - about 2000 rubles per pair.

There are several body colors: white, black, mirror, matte. The increased size of the mirror surface increases visibility around the machine. The anti-reflective coating makes driving comfortable in bright light from behind a car.

Installation of a new structure

The installation of new elements begins with the removal of old ones. There are several reasons for replacing factory mirrors:

• Mechanical failure of the fastening or adjustment mechanism;
• Desire to improve the appearance of the car body;
• The ability to equip the machine with electrical adjustment and heating options;
• Improved visibility around the car.

In addition to the above varieties, there are other options (convex, double, with a repeater function directly on the glass, etc.). The abundance of options for equipping the “four” allows owners to create a unique appearance for the car. The replacement of standard parts is due to the low level of assembly quality of domestic cars. Selecting from the list of non-standard review items simplifies the driver's orientation and decorates the appearance of the VAZ 2114 body. The ability to purchase goods online and an abundance of videos with detailed reviews and reviews from owners makes the selection process simple.

Installation of heated mirrors on Granta

Required:

1. Elements of heated mirrors from the company (for example, Salina at a price of 550 rubles)
2. Wire 0.75-1mm2 several meters 50r.
3. Terminal “small mother” (2 pcs). 10 rub.
4. Terminal ring “ground for screw” (2 pcs). 10 rub.
5. Clamp terminal (1 piece). 5 rub.
6. Fuse holder (1 piece). 28 rub.

Connecting heated mirrors Lada Granta

• We fasten the two negatives from the heated mirrors onto the ground screw above the fuse block.
• We solder two positive wires to the fuse holder (15A) and connect them to the gray wire under the carpet. There will be two gray wires in the harness (one is the fuel pump), and the second is the heated rear window. Using a multimeter or test light, we find +12V, which appears after turning on the rear heated glass.

Thus, we connected the Granta heated mirrors through 2 fuses and a relay.
All that remains is to connect the mirror elements to the terminals and check the operation. If you want to connect heated mirrors to a separate button, you can use the following diagram:

Now we perform the assembly in reverse order. In total, this modification of the mirrors took about 3 hours of time. By the way, along with installing heated mirrors, you can immediately make noise insulation for the doors.

Other options

For some users, a more acceptable option is to use a separate toggle switch. In this case, you should make sure that the current limit through the switch, which is usually marked on the housing, exceeds the current consumed by the heating system.

For those who want to install electric adjustment at the same time as heating, the best option would be to use mirrors from the Lada Kalina. Grant's original glass is large and clear. Electric mirrors from Kalina are slightly smaller, so this method is a good option for those car enthusiasts who do not like enlarged mirrors. Other drivers should be reminded that their smaller size makes up for their much greater operating comfort.

The first step is to remove the old mirrors. They are secured with 3 screws, which can be accessed after removing the decorative trim. Next, new parts are installed and wires are pulled, as described above. A wiring diagram is included with the set of new electric mirrors. The control unit should be mounted above the buttons of the power window control module.

All connections are made taking into account the algorithm described above, as well as instructions for new parts. The result is a Granta with the required option - electric drive and heated exterior mirrors.

"> Hello everyone. Today at VAZ Repair we will talk about how to install and connect heated rear view mirrors on a Lada Granta at home. The article will be supported by informative photos, as well as step-by-step instructions, which will allow you, dear readers, to carry out such tuning yourself on your car.

To work you need to have:

• Heated mirror kit. In my case, these are heating elements made by Salina;
• Copper wire 0.75-1 mm long 8-10 m;
• Small female terminal (2 pcs.);
• Terminal-ring “ground for screw” (2 pcs.);
• Clamp terminal (1 pc.);
• Fuse holder (1 piece);
• Soldering iron, probe, several screwdrivers, needle file;
• Heat shrink, electrical tape.

Note: The above components may differ depending on the connection scheme you choose. In my case, the connection will be made by connecting the heated mirrors to the heated rear window. Below I will provide three alternative connection methods that can also be used.

​How to equip a Lada Granta with heated and electrically adjustable mirrors?

This work requires a little more skill than, for example, installing a spoiler. Therefore, having a little skill in handling car electrics, or an assistant with such, is welcome.

Heating improvements

So, if you just need heating, then it is better to use a standard part, replacing the glass with the same one with a thermoelement, or install it yourself.

Precautions before starting work:

1. Be sure to turn off the voltage of the vehicle's on-board network! (remove battery terminal)
2. To prevent accidental damage to the wires when the door is accidentally closed, install limiters.

Tools and materials you will need:

1. Branded mirror elements of heated mirrors;
2. Insulating tape;
3. Several meters of 0.75-1 mm2 wire;
4. 2 terminals “mother small”;
5. 2 ring ground screw terminals;
6. 1 screw terminal;
7. 1 fuse holder;
8. Round needle file, soldering iron, set of screwdrivers, heat shrink.

Wiring

The next step is wiring. To install the wiring, you will need to remove the front door trim.

When the door is disassembled, the wires are pushed into the door through the fastening hole, and the interface block is disassembled. Through it and the corrugation, the electrical wiring is pulled into the housing. In order to simplify the task, you can drill an unoccupied contact in the block, and thus thread the plus and minus. To pull the wiring through the door corrugation, it is more convenient to use wire. Important (!) - for your own convenience, it is better to throw in extra wires.

Heating element for side mirrors

The cold season is ahead, creating additional difficulties for motorists, including fogging and freezing of side mirrors.
Driving with such mirrors is not only inconvenient, but also dangerous. And opening the window every time to clean and wipe is not much fun, especially if it’s cold and rainy outside. Many foreign cars are equipped with a heated mirror system. It is really very convenient because it allows you to keep your mirrors clean in any weather. But only on budget models, as well as on domestic cars, such equipment is very rare.

There is still a way out of the situation, and more than one:

• Purchasing mirrors with an integrated heating system;
• Purchase and installation of factory heating products (film, printed heaters);
• Folk remedies;

As for mirrors, this is the most expensive solution to the problem; moreover, it is not always possible to find elements that are suitable for mounting. Factory products are cheaper, but they require selection according to shape.

Among the simple folk remedies, you can use a regular car incandescent lamp, which is placed in the mirror housing. This solution to the problem is inconvenient because there must be enough space inside the case to install the lamp and the base for it.

The simplest and cheapest, yet effective way to provide heated mirrors is to use nichrome wire.

Heated mirrors on Granta

1. Elements of heated mirrors from a company (for example, Salina at a price of 550 rubles)

2. Wire 0.75-1mm2 several meters 50r.

3. Terminal “small mother” (2 pcs). 10 rub.

4. Terminal ring “ground for screw” (2 pcs). 10 rub.

5. Clamping terminal (1 piece). 5 rub.

6. Fuse holder (1 piece). 28 rub.

9. Round needle file, heat shrink and electrical tape.

It is worth noting that on our website there is already a similar publication about heated mirrors on the Lada Kalina, which you can install yourself.

Connecting heated mirrors Lada Granta

To install the wiring, you will need to remove the front door trim. Now we push the wires through the mirror into the door and disassemble the connection block. We pull the wires through the block and corrugation into the interior. In order not to suffer, you can drill a free contact in the block and thread the positive and negative wires through it (it is still better to connect the ground in the cabin than on the door - the contact will be better).

We pull the wires through the corrugation of the door using wire. We do similar work on the passenger side.

It was decided to connect the heated mirrors in Grant to the heated rear window (this is the most popular method, which is also used on foreign cars).

1. We screw the two negatives from the heated mirrors onto a screw with ground above the fuse block.

2. Solder two positive wires to the fuse holder (15A) and connect to the gray wire under the carpet. There will be two gray wires in the harness (one is the fuel pump), and the second is the heated rear window. Using a multimeter or test light, we find +12V, which appears after turning on the rear heated glass.

Thus, we connected the Granta heated mirrors through 2 fuses and a relay. All that remains is to connect the mirror elements to the terminals and check the operation.

If you want to connect heated mirrors to a separate button, you can use the following diagram:

Connection

Connecting the central lock

. We use a circuit of two relays so as not to go under the panel to the central locking unit:

Connecting heated mirrors

(to the wiring harness under the driver's threshold)

Connecting mirror turn signals

:

• Option 1: Pull the wire from the direction indicator on the fender.
• Option 2: To the wiring harness under the driver's threshold (blue - left turn signal; blue-white - right).

We transfer the wires from the power windows from the standard buttons to a new block with a joystick.

For Lada Kalina and Granta with heated and electric side mirrors (without direction indicators):

• The new mirror has a chip with six wires, but the old one has only five. We pull the sixth contact, which is used to operate the turn signals.

On a modern car, heated mirrors are a necessary and irreplaceable thing, and Granta is no exception: you can make heated mirrors with your own hands!

We purchase heated mirror elements “Salina”, the cost is about 500-600 rubles.

1. Wire with a cross section of 0.75-1.0 mm (10 meters) - 150 rubles.
2. Small female connector (2 pcs.) - 10 rub.
3. Ground ring connector for screw (2 pcs.) - 10 rub.
4. Clamping connector (1 pc.) - 5 rub.
5. Fuse block (1 pc.) — 30 rub.

1. Soldering iron
2. Sample
3. Thin and regular screwdrivers
4. Round needle file, heat shrink, electrical tape

We take the end of the wire that was pushed into the door out of the door. This is where a needle file comes in handy: we firmly attach the wire to the needle file with wire, and pull the file through the corrugation

We attach the minus to ground (I attached it to ground above the fuse block). We combine the “pluses”, connect them to the fuse through the block, and cover the exposed areas with heat shrink.

There are two gray wires in the wiring harness: one is the power supply to the fuel pump, the other is the heated rear window. Using a probe, we determine which of them goes to heated the rear window (“plus” appears on it only when the rear window heating button is turned on). We connect the fuse block with a continuous clamp to the found rear window heating wire

We connect power to the mirror elements (using female connectors). We put everything back together in reverse order.

We enjoy the excellent performance of the heated mirrors on the grant!

Wiring

The next step is wiring. To install the wiring, you will need to remove the front door trim.

When the door is disassembled, the wires are pushed into the door through the fastening hole, and the interface block is disassembled. Through it and the corrugation, the electrical wiring is pulled into the housing. In order to simplify the task, you can drill an unoccupied contact in the block, and thus thread the plus and minus. To pull the wiring through the door corrugation, it is more convenient to use wire. Important (!) - for your own convenience, it is better to throw in extra wires.

By analogy, the same work is done with the right door of the car.

To power the heated mirrors in Grant, it is recommended to use the most common way - connect to the heated rear window. This solution is used on most modern cars. The order is:

1. The two negative wires from the heating are screwed onto a ground screw above the fuse block. It is not recommended to connect to ground inside the door, since electrical contact in door hinges and other moving connections is not always reliable.
2. The two positives are soldered to the fuse holder (15A) and connected to the gray wire in the harness on the floor. There are 2 gray ones. The required one is found using a tester when the load is applied to the rear window heating.

Thus, Granta's heated mirrors are connected via a relay and 2 fuses. All that remains is to connect the mirror elements to the terminals and evaluate the performance of the circuit. After this, the wires should be hidden under the casing.
