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.
Don't have my car yet which will have folded mirrors. Currently my Outlander has them , press the key knob twice and the mirrors fold which is easy enough. So I take it you have to press a button in the cabin before they work ?

Rotary control switch on the driver's door which also controls both adjustment and positioning of both door mirrors.

Thanks for that Allan , should be easy enough to use once you get used to that particular system

And there's also a setting for demisting the mirrors. Lots of settings for a small, rather flimsy switch.

Added to the fact that I have turned the dial to put my wing mirrors out a few times and nothing has happened!!  :angry:
I generally just drive off and they fold out within 100 yards or so.
Its only happened a handful of times in 6 months but is annoying if you need the mirrors out to reverse at the time.

I had that problem with my Ed30 - mirrors moved about randomly, like airbrakes on a fighter jet! I recall a software update fixed it.
