th3_f15t Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'm thinking of retro fitting electric folding mirrors to my Golf R as I want to get it as many options as possible. I've found these on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-VW-Golf-Mk6-exterior-mirrors-electrically-foldable-memory-function-/171860294749?hash=item2803abfc5d I take I just need to fit them and then code them in so the folding feature works? Any pointers would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboTrev Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I bought a set of right hand drive folding mirrors with the correct window motors and the switch, all 2nd hand off ebay as a kit from a breaker and fitted them to my 6R. They worked perfectly and didn't require any coding. I notice the ones in your link are from Germany - will they not have a right side dipping mirror whereas we need a left side one? th3_f15t 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th3_f15t Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 A good point! And I'll also need the mirror switch as well as mine currently doesn't have the folding mirror feature. Knowing me, I'll order some and get some LED puddle lights and carbon fibre covers as well, may as well do it all in one hit! EDIT: Had a look at the part numbers on the eBay ad I linked, they seem to match UK cars so may be onto a winner there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th3_f15t Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Dragging up my old post, but I've got a small issue. My mirrors are all fitted and coded in, but the driver's side fold in/out is inverted so when the switch is in the folded out position, it folds in and vies-versa. I believe that I need to swap the positive and earth wires round in the plug but does anyone know which wires they are (I assume the plug has numbers on it)? Any help is appreciated!

Sorry I know this is old, but incase anyone else gets this, you need to swap 14 & 15 around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
