Power Mirror??

I've tried to do a quick search for parts on the Mopar parts site, and have found that there are lots of mirror choices. It is also not clear if/how the door switch can be obtained. My thinking is, if it can be done, it may require:
Motorized mirrors
Switch to activate the power fold function and a new interior door panel to house the switch. My concern is that the GW door panel (where the switch would go) is very different than what is in the Wagoneer.
Possible programming? I don't know if there is something that the onboard computer needs to be aware of with the new mirrors and power fold switch.
I would bet the wiring harness is all the same, but that is just speculation.
Maybe someone with a GW can take a picture of the switch that actuates the mirror and tell us if there is a soft button in the Uconnect controls that can also control the mirrors?

I have seen the switch. Somewhat same, the only difference is the GW has a button under the mirror adjusting knob. not sure if it will change out. The W Series III has the camera in the mirror as does the GW. The mirror is also heated in both.
I would think the harness is the same to hook up the heaters, camera and on the GW the power for mirrors. So I think the motor and gears would have to be added to the WIII or replace the W mirrors with GW mirrors. Now if the harness is the same that would work great, but still I am sure the computer would have to be programed on the W, if that can be done. I hope to find a solution or just get more exercise getting out and folding.
One think about the Mirror physical size on the GW and W which is the same size, They our BIG, really big. With the design when folder they still stick out a lot. I will measure and report back.
COW, thanks for your input and response.
