Who reads the manual?  I had my mk5 GTI for 2 1/2 years before I realized that there was a button underneath the rear view mirror for the automatic dimming.

ha ha ha, that is funny... I dont refer to my manual unless something fell off the car and I didnt know where it is suppose to go. After hours spent locating, my son comes along and say hey dad you found it! Grabs it and runs off.... sigh... I wonder how many wasted hours are gone in this world... just like that... wonder whether there is dollar figure that we can attach to it... ha ha ha

After 7 weeks of ownership it has only just come to my attention that my gti has no keyhole on the drivers door (better looking for it aswell). But how do yoy get in if ever the battery went flat etc ?
While I was searching for auto dimming rear view mirror I came across this thread.

Sorry its an old thread.

Well I'm surprised no one has answered this. The door lock is covered but a plastic capping you need a key or something to fit in the slot underneath and prise the cap off and use you key to open the door.   :wink:

the passenger side has it just lift the cap next to the handle

you can use the bottom of your key to slip of the cap

Ok I must have missed that as I browsed the replies because he started talking about Who is this Shirley you speak of does she come free with the GTI? It still took long enough to answer.  :wink:
