Title: Mirrors Moving At The Same Time
Post by: rjwojcik on 25 June 2018, 08:13

So, been adjusting my mirrors individually and all good since I've had the car (only the individual mirror would move).  Yesterday, went to adjust my LHS mirror, which I did and noticed my RHS was out.  So switched the knob to the RHS and all good.

But after a bit of investigation what I've noticed is if I switch the knob to the LHS mirror and adjust it, both mirrors move.
When I switch the knob to the RHS mirror and adjust it, only the RHS mirror moves.

Strange?  I've googled it, apparently there's a setting in the car setting to enable control of both mirrors.  Will have to check tonight.

Anyone else had a similar issue?

Think it's a tick box in the options in the Car section the menus.

My wife's 17 plate VW Touran does this. But, I think it moves both when set to the right, and the left only when set to the left.

My A4 (16 plate) does not have this feature as far as I know.

Will check for it on my GTI when it's delivered this Friday!

I've just unticked the Synchronised Movement in the Car config, they now move independently so all good. Thanks for your help, chaps.

I can't believe people still ask this question. I've had cars that do this for the last 20 years at least.
