Hi all,
Had my new GTI since september...up to now no prob's...think I may have one now....when I adjust my right electric mirror....the left one moves too!!...that's not right...is it??!
-
Yes, mine does that... adjust the left first then both together.
You can disable this option if you have the Highline computer.

It is designed to be that way.
in these days of 2 people using the car from time to time, it is sort of a Mirror memory function.
what i mean is this -
User 1 gets in car and sets mirrors up. Great.
User 2 gets in car, and uses switch when set on Drivers side to adjust mirror, when the right moves the left will move in the same plane, i.e. you move the mirror out, the left will move in and so on.
Now when User 1 gets back in the car, he sets seat back up, and then adjusts right hand mirror (drivers) back in to his setting, the left moves back out to suit.
It saves having to set up both mirrors. Pretty simple idea but clever stuff.

....You don't need to have a Highline computer to adjust the mirrors independently - There's a setting marked on the rotary control.

sorry got confused... I meant the dipping passenger mirror on reverse can be disabled.

Really Hotrod!

mine dont do that. They work totally independent of one another

....Only more recent builds have the auto mirror positioning when reversing feature.
