VCDS/RECODE/ELECTRIC FOLDING DOOR MIRRORS
« on: 31 March 2010, 19:56 »
Hi!
    Any Of You Vagcom/VCDS Wizz Kids Know if it's possible to recode Electric Folding Mirrors On MKVI Golf So they automatically fold in and out when ignition is switched ONorOFF, Rather than use the door mounted switch, Keep forgetting to fold them in. Would be a usefull mod for Me.
I have access to VCDS so that not a problem. Accurate instructions If Poss please.

That is no good if you are 'parked' with engine switched off whilst kerb crawling! :laugh:

If you forget to fold them in while getting out the car, you might forget you have parked close to a pebble-dashed wall and unlock the car only to see your nice shiny wing mirrors scrape along the pebbles  :cry:

Seriously though, the automatic in and out with locking / unlocking the car would be a good idea only if it also had an override switch. I don't know why they didn't include that on the wing mirror switch.

To answer your question, its been asked many a time, not sure if on here or other VW forum and as far as I know can't be done!

I'd be interested in hard wiring them into the locking mechanism, so that they fold closed when the doors are locked.
Then I thought a bit more, and the doors lock when I go above 15mph - so the mirrors would fold shut!
There must be an easy way of achieving this?!

How did you get the doors to lock above 15 mph?
I have not noticed this on mine.

Hold down the DOWN button on your wiper stalk for a few seconds when you're sitting still.  Go into the settings menu and its somewhere in there.  I can't really remember, and its snowing outside so I can't be bothered checking!!

Thanks alot.
Really very useful to get this to happen.
Will try to set this up tomorrow.
It's as involved as setting up a pc. :rolleyes:
Imagine if it all goes wrong! :cry:

Just make sure you also check the box to make them open again when you remove the key from the ignition!!

This would be useless in a garage, they fold in once you are in and fold out on the way out and get torn off by the garage door entrance. Doh!!!
