does anyone know if its possible to activate the passenger mirror to tilt down like the R32 does when you select reverse on a gt.also when unlocking and dropping the windows down with the key is it possible yo drop only the 2 front windows on a 4 door using vag-com
-
The parking mirror thing was an optional extra for £110 and you got the electric folding mirrors with it.
Might be possible if you have the appropriate mirrors + wiring looms + vagcom.
-
im hoping its all there already and that it just needs activating via vag-com

sure my ed30 did it and I never spec'd it, I think its std you just have to have the mirror adjust knob in a certain postion when you select reverse or something

Mine doesn't, so don't think it was standard? :confused:
-
mine doesnt do it but im gonna ask my garage if they'll turn it on for me if possible,just wanted to know if there was any extra parts as i know the wing mirrors come with the puddle light capabillity even if there not fitted the wirings already there for that option.dont want to scratch my new wheels?
-
It's not standard, you need new parts for folding/ reverse mirrors
-
Stick your mirror switch on the left mirror and stick it in reverse it should work
-
i know it isnt standard,was just wondering if it could be turned on by vag-com.ill find out at the steelers,if it can this would be very usefull for alot of us guys with nice shiny expensive wheels
-
no just tried it the glass doesnt tilt,u see i dont think ill need extra parts as the mirror glass already tilts so iam presuming its just a matter of activation using vag-com to activate
-

it can be turned on if the car was specced with it, I doubt anyone ever turned yours off so it's a safe bet it's not there, also you mention puddle light cable are thee, when I looked into it the cables are not there, neither are the control modules ( again unless the car was specced with it)
-
just read what i posted when i said us guys with the expensive wheels.i also meant ladies aswell sorry golfgirl
-
i read a build thread on here the other day and ssomeone mentioned it im almost sure

I tres this before, and you will need parts and wiring to be it going, the mirror aren't cheap either unless you get scrap ones
-
The glass only on the passenger side used to tilt down when I put the car in reverse with the adjust knob selected to the left mirror like Mat said
