Hi All,
Back on track regarding the folding mirrors.
Steve Budak and I have been discussing this and he believes that he can do it, last time I spoke to steve, he had imported the parts as a test and was going to install it for a trial. Steve is the proprietor of Volkstronic and is really helpful.

Sounds good man.. Please let us know how he goes.. It’d be a big job I imagine.. A lot of wiring involved.. What parts did he import?

I spoke to Euro Autotech yesterday.. I was told the coin for the parts + labour wouldn’t be worth it (“thousands” was the word he used – It can be done however) so obviously DIY would be the way to go if you were really keen.

I read the manual before I bought the car and didn't notice the sliding armrest (not that I've checked it or really have a use for it). I'm just jealous that his TSI has paddle shifters

May as well install the foot lighting under the external mirror while you are at it?

Hi Guys,

Just wondering whether there is a kit to convert the normal side door mirrors to ones that can fold in at the push of a button.

I am always worried about people hitting them with their car doors, etc

Also I have a narrow driveway

Any help would be appreciated

Generally speaking this forms part of the "memory seat package" and theres an additional position in the top of the mirror switch.
If it can be retro-fitted maybe someone on here knows how too and can share there experiences!

Other than that, you maybe forced to push them in yourself!

It is a great feature to have though. I had it on my previous 2008 Passat 2.0T FSI...
