There's 2 issues at play here:
1) whether you have the physical connection from ECU to mirrors
2) whether the car has the ability to store/memory for mirror position
If you don't have 1) then it's never going to work.
If you have 1) but not 2) then the FIS+ can act as the mirror position memory unit. This may not be as accurate positioning as the "factory fitted" mirror dipping function, however you will still be able to use this feature.
This is the difference between enabling the function in VCDS and in FIS+. With VCDS you require the memory unit to be present in the car. With FIS+ if you don't have the mirror memory then FIS+ will perform this function.
That's my understanding at the moment. Though I'm still looking to get clarification from AutoPolar.

Ah thanks, makes sense. Strange that some cars would have #1 by itself though while others don't.
Once you get it sorted be sure to ask them to update their advertising to reflect what cars it can be used for, and maybe hide the menu on the Golf, etc.

Just confirmed that mirro dipping actually does work in the Tiguan - got the function working so all the necessary hardware must already be there.
Happy days

Hello. Iam very tempted to order one for myself (Tiguan 2011). Did you by any chance happen to take a picture with the Polar box installed?
Did you disconnect the battery when you switched that red canbus connector?

Check the installation thread for Tiguan here: Auto-Polar FIS+ Advanced - Complete Guide
Though if you are in Sweden the location of CANbus gateway my be different as you have LHD???
Yes recommended to disconnect the battery when connecting/disconnecting the CANbus connector.
