Retrofit folding mirrors problems
Hi guys!
I have bought an original GTI folding mirror set for my Polo. After I fitted these in and coded them, they work fine! Great, however, the voicecontrol/navigation voice only comes through one speaker. This has happened since the retrofit, radio works normal through all speakers. I changed my left module with the old one, and the sound is still the same.
The coding shows canbus and 5f error. Cannot activate the new module of the mirrors. VW also can't remove the component protection.
My car is not a GTI, could this be the problem? What would be the best way to solve this problem?

I got it from Otosan. It was a complete original set with module, motors etc.

Re: Retrofit folding mirrors problems
Even though this forum was not as helpful as expected, I managed to fix it. Retrofit folding mirrors is a success. Due to my Polo being a Beats model, it probably had some issues with the folding mirrors. Managed to change 2 pins, everything works now as expected. Dips when going into reverse and folds in when closing. Folds out when starting!

Re: Retrofit folding mirrors problems
There aren't a lot of people here that do retrofits, mainly because the retrofit price is generally prohibitive next to the optioned price and you've usually got coding on top of the physical fit.
People can only be helpful in giving advice if they've got the experience. If you're the first person to do something, that'd not really on the forum members that they couldn't offer any guidance.

Re: Retrofit folding mirrors problems
Long time no post (log-in issues) but such retro-fitting of extras is considerered by many to be a major faff, border-line too much hassle, but kudos to the OP for successfully doing it in this case....

Re: Retrofit folding mirrors problems
It's actually very easy. It's plug and play for the most part. Got it coded for free. Wasn't much of a hassle. Just the issue of it being a Beats model, no-one knew how to fix it. It's quite an easy fix, takes a minute or 2.
If anyone is interested, I can get them shipped to London, but there isn't much stock.
Hit me up if anyone is interested

Re: Retrofit folding mirrors problems
I'm not based in London, I'm from the Netherlands. But it seems like it's almost impossible to get these mirrors in London, so I could help a few people out.
I can get them for 600 pounds with shipping including original cables, modules, motors and everything. You can put your own caps on the mirrors to match the car colors. Only thing that has to happen is code (free for me but they charge around 20 pounds in the Netherlands). But then again, I don't know the prices in London so they could be cheaper there.
