Polo 6c folding mirrors question

Post by Speedhunter »

Hi team, could anyone tell me if these WRMs (attached) currently in the car support folding mirrors? I tried checking ETKA and searching online, but I can't find any clear info.

Looking at the software, 'usually':
0XXX = NO
1XXX = YES (via the switch).
8XXX = YES (via the switch and the remote).

But there are pitfalls, the WRM needs to have the right pins. Some WRMs have the correct software for managing the folding function, but the pins for the folding function are missing!
As is to be expected, the WRMs underwent some evolution, but that doesn't mean they were better or had more features.
What to look for? SW and pins.

Edit: On the other hand :lol:, a highly skilled individual developed external units that made it possible to code and operate the WRMs as if they were MQB units, including mirror folding.
