- Don't connect either the Lock Detection or Unlock Detection wires to the truck's wiring.
- Add a simple 12v relay as shown. The Power Line wire is connected to the normally-closed relay terminal. The Lock Detection wire is connected to the common relay terminal.
I used a tiny 12v relay that was so small that it would fit inside the CQ-TY02 control box. I did all the connections via soldered wire inside the control box, but it could be done outside on the harness's wires instead.
The reason this works is that the control box already has a function that forces the mirrors to unfold/deploy when the key is in the ACC position or better (via the "ACC/ON" white wire). So all I had to do was trick it into seeing a "lock detection" trigger when the key is turned to OFF. With this circuit, turning the key to OFF depowers the ACC/ON lead, which returns the relay to it's "normal" (rest) state, which connects constant power to the Lock Detection wire. (BTW, the instructions that came with the kit are wrong about the blue/lock-detection wire...they say "negative charge will be sent when the door lock closed". The correction is that momentary (or constant) power to the blue wire tells the control box to fold the mirrors.)
Hand diagram by me:
