From the site:

If you Require Electrical Adjustment You Will Need to Remove a Glass From Your Original Mirrors & Check How Many Wires are on the Electric Motor.

I don't think so, as there are two seperate wires that go nowhere near the motor for the demister.

I just replaced my motor recently, mines a 97 golf with a 4 wire motor if that helps Wherry
