I'm quite embarrassed really, but today I found out I have folding mirrors, pmsl... the amount of work I've done on this car and I've never even bothered to check this; shocking, there is no excuse! I've even replaced the switch pack to the Chrome ones and never checked it. Oh well, I guess it's a nice Christmas present :)

Anyway of getting these mirrors folding on the keyfob via VCDS? :party:
-
:signLOL: Nice, that is a great belated xmas pressie.
I think it can be done on the fob, but you need different door control modules, from a SEAT iirc

As above its on Golfman's build thread http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,69645.135.html

I won't tell you I've had the car about 5 years! hahaha.
Cheers for the info @fab5freddy (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3064) and the link @doylebros (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6153) - guess I'll have to do that mod now. :rolleye: :happy2:
-
Haha, discovered this myself a few weeks ago and had mine since May. Not quite 5 years though.....!
In fact I'm sure there's much more tech (bt etc) on my car than I realise. Need someone like EddieNL to have a look for me!!

Another little hidden Easter egg: Unclip your sunvisor, pivot it to the side window then extend it, voilà! A side sunvisor for when the sun is low in the sky and you're on a motorway, etc. Perfect

I didnt realise i had adjustable lumber support till 6months of owning mine. Hated the seats on long drives before that.

Don't know if this is a feature but if you do the same for the passenger side one and extend it so it goes behind the rear view mirror, it will dim the mirror and side mirrors. Works in daytime too. Works perfect for me as i have a serious eye condition and am sensitive to light

Autowindow reflex module from a Seat... Think they are about £80 though, so I don't think I'll bother... Thanks for the input :thumbs
-
I'd like to get mine folding from the key fob as the parking spaces are well tight here. £80 each is a little too much will stick with the switch for now.
-
I had my door modules coded via VAG ODIS to fold with key fog with factory fitted modules. A German guy helped a Portuguese friend to learn how to do it and he did both my Golfs. I think you need to have 3rd Gen modules. My Ed. 30 is a MY2008 and my GT Sport is a MY2009.
Since I was his "Guinea pig" it was free of charge for me. :pomppomp:
-
How did you find out you had folding mirrors?
-
@dazza (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10457) : yeah, 80 notes is a bit too much for me, especially as I didn't even know I had them, lol.
@Shoduchi (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10590) : that's interesting, anyway we can contact this guy see what he actually did?
@Peskyjones (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=11854) : I needed to check the nearside arch area when reversing past a low wall, so For the first time ever I used the switch to dip the mirror... then I dialed the switch to the top position and the mirrors closed; haha, one of those WTF moments. You dial it to the bottom position to get them to unfold.

You need to have a VAG ODIS cable, you need to know a bit of computer coding, you need to know the formula to change the coding of the door modules to make it work.
All things that I don't know how to do and don't have... :signLOL:

LOL :) ... shame we can't make this happen, I'm assuming the VAG ODIS cable is somehow different to the usual ones we use with VCDS..?

AFAIK it's the cable that's now currently used by VW official dealers. It can access and recode the firmware (change the EEPROM) of the different car modules. VCDS can't do that.

Wow, that'd be good. No more CANBUS faffin'

I didn't know it did that thanks for the info I have just tried it.
We need a thread for hints and tips unless we have one I don't know about

So what actually makes them fold? Dipping and then selecting the folding mirror on the dial? It's about 11 o clock position?
I recently swapped the switch pack for the chrome ones as well and when I move the left mirror it moves by itself, but when I move the right mirror they both move :laugh:
-
Yes, 11 o clock'ish
To activate it you simply have ignition on and select this position on the Mirror Dial Switch and wait a couple of secs, it's not instant, probably why I've not noticed it:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fg02.s.alicdn.com%2Fkf%2FHTB13iFEFVXXXXakXVXXq6xXFXXXn%2F220896067%2FHTB13iFEFVXXXXakXVXXq6xXFXXXn.jpg&hash=5cb0b6d666180bea063503029285a93a5448714b)
Worth noting the image to the right doesn't have the ability to do it...
To unfold the mirrors (if you have them) simply put the dial into the downward (0) position.
Madness I've never used it, tbh though I don't think my original switch had the insignia, should dig it out to check (it must have)...
-
Il try it tomorrow.
Just a thought, I tried through vcds to make my mirors auto dip in reverse but.it.didnt work, might be worth trying in yours if you want that. Could be a double wammy xmas.present

ha. thanks m8, never thought about that :happy2: hope it works for you :smiley:

Think you need memory seats or polar fis for mirror dip to work.
I got it working with polar fis but the mirror does not come back to the same position. :confused:
-
Don't have mem seats, will leave as is, especially as new fault has shown its head, sigh.
Either: Battery / Alternator / Pulley / Loom
This is the error:
==
1 Fault Found:
005634 - Power Supply Terminal 30: Voltage too Low
P1602 - 002 - Lower Limit Exceeded - Intermittent

And Light on dash...
Can't be assed, going to get 'merry' and worry about it next year, hahaha.
Have a good one everyone!!! :happy2: :innocent: :mad: :innocent: :love: :evilgrin: :drinking:
-
Was Alternator, lol, replaced a few weeks ago now, 2nd hand on eBay £20!! Barmy.

Hi mate any chance giving me the information with regards how to get mirrors to fold on the button as know someone at the dealers who could do it for me but i need to supply them the info ?

That bit of information that you want only n4s and a German guy can give it to you. Try contacting n4s in the MyTiguan.com forum. :smiley:
I've seen n4s do it but, as I've said before, I have no idea what's the formula that he used or what values he searched to modify to make my mirrors close with the lock button of the key.
