Electric Folding Mirrors Owners.....

[.:GTI|SUNNY:.]

Hi all,

For those who have Folding Mirrors, Could you tell me when you put the car in reverse does your passenger side mirror dip down to give you kurb side view?

Only reason i ask is that i've just been out in my cousins MK5 R32 and his passenger side mirror dips down when in reverse.
I used too have this on my BMW but on my GTI it doesn't dip down.

Was this just an R32 option?

This option was available on MY07 and later if you had the rear sensor option and/or the luxury pack.

[.:GTI|SUNNY:.]

what was included in the Lux Pack?

Hi GTi SUNNY,

I've got this option on my GTi and it's a 55 plate, you can turn it on via the settings in the highline display. But to be honest it's a bit of a gimmick, cause if youve got ur mirror set right in the first place you can see behind and below when you need to anyway.

So I have turned it off.

Hope that helps.

Hi mate,

Thanks for the reply,

Mine is also a 55plate with Folding Mirrors but i have Midline Display, at the moment when i reverse i dip the mirror myself but when i always have to put it back to my driving position but cant always get it perfect, so thought it would be hassle free if it went back to it's memory position itself.

I've been in contact with a company for a Highline Display so maybe it'll be worth it

Unfortunately your MY05 car doesn't come with dipping passenger mirror even with the lux pack and/or reversing sensors. Also you can't easily or economically retrofit it.

It's a gimmick for me, dads Range Rover does it and it's pointless. As said, your mirror will be adjusted properly or just poke your neck up a bit .

I guess it could impress people though

[.:GTI|SUNNY:.]

i guess i'll have to live without it as i was used too it on my previous cars

VW have some weird options, for e.g:
 
i have folding mirrors with auto dimming & heated glass with puddle light

and my cousin has:

Folding mirrors with Kurb side dipping mirror and puddle lights on his R32

Hi wellsy i was wondering if you can help me please,im having nothing but trouble with this and i was wondering if you can give me an auto scan of your both mirrors and central electrics also the convenience module as i might be able to work out why i cannot get this to work?do you have memory seats or factory fitted rear parking sensors?
cheers

Pretty sure my 55 plate my06 does not have this....I've got lux, but no mirror dip, can you advise what the option is on highline?

[Merlinman]

'Mirror Dip' was an 08 MY IIRC change and is a hardware not a software fix - so not cost effective. HTH

My MY07 Ed30 doesnt have mirror dip option on it.

[paulk]

 i can turn this on via my hi line but didnt bother my car is 07

[Saint Steve]

You can turn on the auto mirror adjust in highline, but not to set Reverse dip im sure Paul?
