Retro fit foldong mirrors

[No Golf Clubs at all]

I have lux and winter packs, however my car is a september 05 (55), vin shows the car as a 2006 model year.  The dipping mirror is not on my car, perhaps it's not enabled on vagcom or more likely it came in as a function after September 2005?

I would advise you to read the manual on how to set your mirror. Mine 'seemed' to not work because the mirror had not been set in the position you want it to auto dip to when in Reverse gear.

Try this.....

- Start car
- Select reverse gear, keep clutch in
- Set mirror control to L position
- Move the mirror to a dipped position ie where you want it to be when Reverse is selected
- When you are happy with the position put the car back into another gear and the mirror should rotate back up to where it was before.

From then on when you want to use your dipped mirror feature is will only work with reverse selected but also it must have the mirror control set to L.

i had 05 gti with lux pack but no reverse activated dipping mirror, only came with 2007 models on i think

I still believe it just wasnt set correctly. My R32 is 06 and has it.

followed this procedure and it doesn't work on my car ..... Is there anyone out there with a pre Sept 05 gti that has this function enabled?

So does it seem then it was included in 06 model year R32s (56 plate which I have) but yet not in 06 GTIs?
