Welcome, like razor mentioned, its not available.
When I spoke to Mancando some 3 years back, they found the manufacturer of the motor and were planning to bring it in with the relevant switches but it never materialised.
Maybe you can try contacting Mancando to express your interest.

Dear Buddies... I have just been informed by KIA sales Rep that they DONT carry the motor for the side view mirror for Sportage... I guess manual motor is the only way forward Cheers, KS

I think it should be RikeCool for C&C... For angel eyes, it's not easy to mod because Sportages does not come with projector headlamps. Maybe those LED 'eyelids' aka Audi-style more feasible. Side steps are useful for me as it really help my son get in/out of the car with ease. If you're always on the road, I suggest you upgrade the sound system. The stock speakers are well....crappy (except the Kenwood DVD player). It'll definitely make your drive more enjoyable...

Thanks Razor... You are right about the sound system... Only my 2 Front speakers were working... It sounded like the cheapest portable radio I can find... Then I tried to go through the manuals and finally got the rear 2 working too... Now it sounds better... But plenty of rooms for improvements... lol Well.. As what my wife told me... You didnt pay alot for the car what Well... I agree... Having all said... I must say I am in love with my sportage... I shall keep it that way... Thanks for your inputs guys.. Cheers, KS
