Ive read about the lux pack folding mirrors and the passenger mirror turnings down when reversing.
Any chance of this being sorted to a golf without the pack?
Will it involve parts swopping or just coding?
Thanks,
James

I've fitted the folding mirrors to my car.
Need to change the mirrors, door controllers and mirror switch. Also needs a bit of coding.

Do you have the part numbers for the controllers mate?

IMO, The folding mirrors on the mk5 are a bit of a joke to be honest, they only fold in about 45 degrees before catching because the mirror arms aren't long enough for them to clear the body. Poor design, but remedied on the mk6.

Fold enough for me to get in and out my garage!

So would the Mk6 mirrors fit to the Mk5 if they are better?

Nope...

That's gay.
Anyone got a photo of what the mk5 ones look like web they are folded?
I'm more bothered about the parking mirror turning down tbh.

depends on what year your car is 2004 - 2006
1K0 959 701L
and
1K0 959 702L
different versions available for 3 and 5 dr
I have a jetta version on my drivers side
-
The part numbers I've got fitted are:
Drivers side 1K0 959 701G
Passenger side 1K0 959 702G
Both of these are a MAX1.
I haven't managed to get the mirror to dip on reverse though, my car must still be missing something.
As said in the post above it depends what year your car is as to what controller you will need. My car is a 2006 & I think the controllers & mirrors I fitted came off a 2005 car.
If you do a search for folding mirrors you will find all the confusion involved with the different controllers!!

You won't get mirror dip with GEN1 or GEN2
You need a GEN3 door controller and a Memory mirror

That will be why then! Thanks

You guys are awesome, thanks :drinking:

My ED30 passenger mirror moves when I reverse, however its currently rubbish!, it does not go down, only comes inwards a little, not much help really!, then when It does not re-set to where it was before, so basically I dont have the mirror switch set to passenger position! :happy2:

Very helpful info Eddie, strange thing. I drove a ED30 DSG yesterday 2007, It has dip mirrors but no memory seat. So does that mean it's possible to have this option?
Otherwise, which coding can I try on a 2005 MK5 GTI Manual - with Folding mirrors and heated leather (still no memory seats, from what I can remember). To try the mirror dip?
-
it has a max3 door controller and memory motor
-
I've never even seen memory seats on a mk5 before..
-
Unless you can pick up second hand the max controllers are obsolete. Etka refers all mk5 window motor / controllers to the mk6 models now
