Title: Mirror controller moves both mirrors at same time?!
Post by: MrDo on April 24, 2013, 09:50:07 pm: I just swapped out my old window joystick/switch controller on my UK MK5 GTI for a chrome knobbed brand new one (as used on Passat, MK 6 etc) bought on eBay. When I set it to move the left mirror it works fine, but when I move it to adjust the right hand side mirror it moves both bloody mirrors ie both the right and the left mirrors at the same time!!

It is a joystick/switch for a RHD car. Surely this part does not need coding? Maybe a duff switch? :sad1:

Your right - on the mk6 you can enable/disable via the MFD

Why on earth would they choose to do this? Never noticed it in the past 6 month..... Funny how you miss things eh?

Sadly not, but I do have VCDS if I can turn off via that?
