MY2017 Rear view mirror
« on: 14 July 2016, 21:46 »
Has anyone got a MY2017 though yet with the new rear view mirror? Any chance of some photos if you have please?

I'm wondering if it's worth retrofitting it to my car.

A pic of it in the first post of this link (sorry, from another forum)

I actually prefer the framed version.

I think you might be right but I really don't like the green light for the auto dim so I don't bother having it on. I might get the sharpie marker on it and block it out before I look to replace with the new mirror.

I prefer the smaller and curvier auto-dimming rear view mirror that the A1 has (when you option it) that is also in the Scirocco and Audi TT. The MK7 Golf mirror looks massive in comparison.

Looks to me like the 2017 MY mirror has a green light, anyway.

Hi. The 2017 mirror does not have a green light or on off switch

OK. Guess that makes sense. Just leave mine working, as intended, all the time, so the light might as well not be there. Come to think of it, it's bothering me now! 😖

First thoughts are not sure, think its one of those things you only know how really feel about when its there in front of you, literally  :wink:

Boost Gauges? Nice to show someone, once! But doubt something ever use in reality.

The positives for me for the 2017 changes was the free Sat Nav aside from that its all move on ..

Yup we've got the smaller oval shape mirror in the wife's scirocco  it does suit the cars interior 1st thing I noticed when looking in the mk7 was the mirror but be just a throwback to the early gti's like the golf ball gear knob lol  :whistle: :whistle:

My wife's 2014 A3 has a tiny oval shaped rear view mirror and it's not fit for purpose.
The one in my GTI is superb and I would hate it to be any smaller.
