Golf GTI: the good, the bad, the weird...and appreciation thread

[Brendan_A]

I've read the thread and the manual - it says that there is an option to turn the dipping on/off in the convenience menu. I haven't tried adjusting the left mirror while in reverse - can give that a go later on.

The Golf 118TSI doesn't have the left hand mirror dipping function. The manual is for all models of Golf.

Again, you need to have "Park Assist" for the dipping function.

I know that. It sounds like Ryan thinks it comes standard on a Golf.

I did (since it wouldn't appear to have any dependencies). Thanks for the clarification. I might ask the dealer if they can enable the feature without P/A).

I can give you the answer now if you like and save you the effort

[Ryan_R]

I can guess the answer and save us both the effort

If you get rear reverse camera, the mirror dip feature is available in the MFD, if you run a normal car, i.e with no reverse camera you get two settings, one lets you adjust mirrors simultaneously, the other independant, It also mentions this in the owners manual, there is no VCDS setting to let you have mirror dip without the camera... apparently

I'm thinking of getting the official badge camera added (purchased via eBay, installed via dealer or volkspower) - so hopefully that can be enabled

I'll let you get back to the GTI topic

It has nothing to do with the reverse camera but everything to do with the type of door controller fitted.

As per Maverick's comment; I have the RVC and no option for auto-dipping.

So I do the dipping myself instead. It ain't hard, and it may save my rims.
