How to install vw golf heated electric switch in 6N2

Post by jagjot »

I have vw polo 1.6 16v gti, MKV, year 2000.

I have heated / electric / folding wing mirrors in my car. But, my switch is has L - 0 - R and Folding options.

But in vw golf there are options for L - 0 - R / folding and heating.

Wondering if its possible to use golf ones..
1) Will they fit straight into my current switch?
2) will wiring work straight?

Thanks in advance...

Heated mirrors in the 6N2 is tagged off the back of the heated rear window switch - theres no wiring onto the mirror switch to control this feature

Did you manage to get the folding mirrors working in the end? Curious as to the parts you used :)

Hi Alex,

Thank you for the info (looks like another wiring project for future).

Yes, I got them working and I will send you pictures of all the steps and parts I used. Thanks for the wiring diagram..

I will post it over the weekend.

Cheers
