Fitting Folding Mirrors to the Mk7 Golf

[peekay34]

If anyone needs to buy the door controllers I have them available for sale I got them in .... I did not need them they normally cost $330 retail here each .... I have not tested them but they are brand new.... so open to offers

[GolfVII]

Peekay34 is that because you coded them to fold on locking/unlocking?

[GolfVII]

Well my mirrors and switch arrived this week and today I installed them with great success, they fold, the puddle lights work and I can choose to fold them when locking from the MFD.

These should have been on there from the get go! now my car is really a Highline

PS. this thread should be changed to "Fitting Folding Mirrors to a Golf Mk7"

Fold via FOB movie

Congratulations, GolfVII. I am very keen on this install and once my Highline comes this would be the first hardware mod I am planning on doing.

Guys the only parts you need is listed in this thread, plus a ROSS-TECH cable and some patients

my dealer ordered the parts:
Left Mirror 5G2 857 507 CA 9B9
Right Mirror 5G2 857 508 AJ 9B9
Switch 5G0 959 565 AA ICX

All up it was around $800

and i followed the instructions here:

and here:
VWVortex.com - USP Folding Mirrors VAG-COM - Fold automatically upon locking - Instructions

Its also handy to have a set of trim removal tools, so you don't break any clips. I also used string instead of the grabby tool shown as I not to keen to get metal things near the paint work.

Sparked my interest in doing this mod - few questions for those that have done it:
1. Do you have to order the mirrors in a colour to match your car, or do you use existing housing?
2. As previously asked, I presume the dip in reverse function still works?
3. Do the mirrors come with heating in them? (where I live the early morning dew is a real problem)

Thanks!

1. Use existing housing
2. dip in reverse still works
3. heat function is built in to the mirror and you use existing mirrors.

Fantastic! I'll have to look into this when I finally get my car!
