new project so i need some help- electrially folding mirrors

Post by nickpolo »

right guys, i need to pick your technically minded brains, i really really want to install electrically folding mirrors, but i want them to look factory fit, so as oem as possible, i need the right sized mirros, to work out how its activated, is it an extra function on the switch that controls the adjustment of the mirrors, so can it be done so it happens when you take they key out of the ignigtion?

presumably would need parts from suitable passat or golf i guess, not too clued up on what had what on the options list

ideas peep!!

here is the thread that got me interested

There was guy on ebay sellin cruise control mods for several VW, it requires some mods and replacing the indicator arm.

Only some VWs can have this, I have emailed him several times he never responds.

For cruise control, you might want to contact Awesome GTI, and take a look at this thread :)

The aerial, take a look here, lots of owners on this forum have bought one of these and they fit perfectly, and at a fiver delivered are incredible value (I paid £20 for mine in a GB some time back) 8)

Finally, the folding wing mirrors were never an option on the 6n2 GTI, but that doesn't mean that they can't be retro-fitted! Fingers crossed for ya Nick, good luck!
