Ahh, that's why. I thought you meant you installed the Blind Spot Assist (BSA) feature (& you didn't have it prior) as well as the folding mirrors.

If you've already got the DAP then yeah, you can get folding mirrors with BSA, but if you don't have DAP, then forget about BSA.

Ralfi, can you supply the part numbers you required. My car 2016 Golf R with DAP2.

My part numbers are of no use to you, mpierce, because I don't have DAP1/2. My folding mirrors are sans BSA.

monkeysrus' part numbers MAY be ones you want, but to make sure, contact VW Central - these part numbers need to be specific for your VIN number, which VW Central can check.......it's the best way to be sure.

We like to ensure each customer is provided with the correct honest advice. We simply don't want to just sell you Folding Mirrors & the switch and send you off on your way. Despite the revision being B,C,D,E they need to have the correct colour code associated. The later generation door modules also cost more than a revision B set of door modules for vehicles prior to November 2014.

We charge a flat $200 for labour of the folding mirrors, which includes the VCDS coding.

I hope this sheds some light.

I have a 2016 Golf R, Chassis #WVWZZZAUZGW026265 in Melbourne.
Which parts do I require?
Can I order them direct from you?

Sure can! We've sent you a PM.

Hi mpierce,

How did you go installing the Mirrors?

I'm keen on doing the mod.

Have been talking to VW but no luck with the parts numbers supplied in the previous posts.

However, I got quoted on PASSAT MY15 R-line mirrors that fold and have puddle lights and lane change assist.

Cheers,

Chandi

I'm having them fitted this week. South Yarra VW special ordered parts from Germany. Took about 10 days for parts to arrive. Total cost with GST was a bit more than $700. I'll advise once fitted.
