i read on a US site that you can do it but it needs unlocking with vagcom

You don't need the luxury pack, it will work for sure and doesn't need Vagcom to fix it  :smiley:

Once you have sussed out the Mirror dipping ?
While it is dipped use the toggle to set it where you want it to point to and it will go to that position everytime  :wink:

Mine does not seem to sadly :sad: Ive done what the manual says i had to but it still does not seem to work for me.  :sad:
There was some odd builds happened with the mk5 because of spec levels in other countrys and i have read that in some contrys with the mk6 that if you spec parking sensors you get the dipping mirror too.

tried tonight as per the manual (says leave it in position R) and also leaving it in position L and it definitely won't work on my car.

my car doesnt have the mirror lower option on the convenience menu which the handbook says you need to access.


oh and i don't think my car has bluetooth after all. pretty strange IMO not to have specced that on the order form when stereo, DAB and dynaudio were ticked.

Do you have rear parking sensors? You need them for the dropping left mirror.

Unbelieveable - I'd just assumed mine didn't have this function on it! Tried it this morning and hey presto, dipping passenger side mirror  :grin:
