Just to add that with the EEPROM coding of my 1K0 rev N with ODIS, it's possible to choose the opening of the mirrors when opening the door or when turning on the ignition. I prefer the latter since I don't always need the mirrors to open when I open my doors. :wink:

Its the same with VCP, door or ignition, that's a good point, you might only want to pop in car and they'll unfold, I might go back to ignition.
I was given a very good but of information from n4s who reminded me before doing any mods on the eeprom coding make a back up copy first, stupidly I didn't do this so I can't put my module back to its total OEM state before folding mirrors were programed (although do I really need to?) but next time I change anything I will make a full back up of all the coding.
wondering also if I could then buy max modules from any a range of vw cars golf, sirocco, tiguan, eos and flash my code into it? potentially turning any max module into my golf max module?

I can ask later if n4s knows that answer. :smiley:

Module must be from mk6 or late mk5. I have done a lot of research myself around this mod and reason for above is coded window movement precoded in the module. Anything different than mk6 does have different window movement distance. Hope this helps and makes sense.
Ive seen someone did it with Leon modules but also had to limit window drop by putting bit of wood inside the doors.

Yes that was me mate, although not with wood, with a piece if 10mm bar, worked very well.
Do you think these distances are not changable then, like it's a set firmware.
Cr33D:
Of from what I've read on different forums, I don't think anyone figured out what to change to adapt for an example scirocco, EOS, etc. modules to run with MK5 window drop distance.
I think this might be a matter of a motor as for example all scirocco do have a different motor part number compared to mk6, if I remember correct.
So maybe issue is within motor and not a module itself ?
Although it is confirmed that MK6 modules work fine without any issues. Obviously rewiring is required to comply with Max Gen modules.
I already have folding mirrors that I need to fit and looking on ebay for modules + motors with correct part number.
PS.
you don't necessarily need a full VCP, you can dump eeprom via eeprom readers and clip into the module directly, modify it and reflash it. [I have somewhere information which reader you would need to use]. Odis should be able to do so as well through downloading firmware, editing it with hex file editor and loading it back into the module. I was going to try it some time ago but got a shed loads of work recently and all car work has to wait, unfortunately.
