Electric Folding Mirrors - How to retrofit?

[Spydar]

Hi,

Has anyone stumbled across a guides/instructions to retrofit the electric folding mirrors for the MK6? I have been googled and haven't had much luck. Ebay have a few second hand electric mirrors in the UK but would like to know what else would be needed of the install. So part numbers/descriptions etc would be cool.

Sorry if this has already been discussed..but I did do an advanced search a few times on here.

Cheers,
Spy

any reason? u park in tight spots?
ive never owned a car that had folding mirrors, and ive never seen the need to unless u live in tight spots

yep.. i have to pull my passenger side in a night at home and drivers side in for parking in the city. Call me lazy but be nice to press a button to have it done.

Fast forward to 3:00 .. The mirror switch looks like it would need to be changed ..

It was this video that made me realise I had a sliding armrest ..

I used to feel sorry for you guys who hadn't read your manuals.
These days, I just think it's funny. I can't believe how many people here are missing out on cool features, or have even damaged their cars and had to pay for things to be fixed, simply because they're too much of a "man" or whatever to read the owners manual

I don't have this option on my vehicle either. Would be interested in this too if anyone has further information.
