Title: Drivers door Auto dimming mirror - retofit
Post by: Degudodger on August 08, 2014, 09:32:49 pm
Looks like i'm going to keep the Golf as i've not had much genuine interest, so that can only mean one thing. More mods

Right. i used to have a guide to retrofit a drivers side auto dimming door mirror but can't find the damn thing anywhere.

What i'm looking for is a guide and part numbers. Any pointers  :happy2:

I bought the necessary wiring harness off Eddie-NL who's support and guidance was needed!

The install was slow and tricky, especially the interior mirror plug disassembly, which I suggest you look at first as I couldn't get my head around it's disassembly but Ed advised me how or it would of end up f**ked for sure!

This plug took the majority of my install time and the need to have a fine metal draw rod to pull the new wires into it from the roof lining.

I did find a how to after the event which would of greatly helped on a Skoda site which I'll look for.
