heated mirrors question
« on: 30 November 2012, 14:18 »
hey guys

Can I ask, for the heated mirrors when you turn the dial to the symbol should it point directly at the symbol ?
Mine (and the ed35 borrowed the other day) dont seem to click into place pointing directly at it, kind of weird but thought i better ask lol

No, it sits in the 12 o clock position.

If the symbol was there, it would be obstructed from view by the knob.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

So how come yours points at the symbol directly ? This is confusing   :laugh:

The two I've tried won't click into that position but instead point at the 12 o clock position (ie exactly inbetween the folding mirror symbol and the heated mirror symbol....)

mine doesnt have folding mirrors so when heated mirrors is on it points straight ahead, not at the symbol

our altea has folding and headed mirrors and it points to the specific icon same as the picture above
