Retrofitting folding side mirrors

Alvin1001 · Post by **Alvin1001** » Fri Jul 27, 2018 6:39 am

Hi guys, I own a Vento that does not come standard with side folding mirrors .
Thinking of retrofitting into my car, has anybody done it before?
I have bought the new mirror with folding (8 pins) and the new folding switch .
My door module part number is 6R0 959 802 AL ( driver side), 6R0 959 801 AH (passenger side).

So far I have connected a wire to my folding switch(pin8) to WRM (pin 12) , and the other 2 wires to t16g/14 and t16g/15.

However, nothing happens when I twist the switch. Tried recording my module to 010002, 0100B3, 0100B1 but code rejected.

It's highly likely that the software (SW 5xxx or 5540) of your window regulator motor - door module - doesn't support the folding mirror function.
What's the model year of your Vento? (letter, tenth digit of the VIN)

Hi Ciclo, the 10th digit of my car is F. My car is manufactured in 2015

I'm afraid your WRMs don't support the mirror fold function.

Read the govindsharma's topic.

4R3 comfort function .... for windows.

I see. So which version of regulator should I get? Any specific PR codes?

*Update*
Took the door module from a beetle, plugged into my car, mirror folds without any additional coding.

But the window does not roll all the way up as beetle has a frameless door.

Looks like I'll have to find a door module thats for polo or vento

At least we now know your wiring is all OK!

Hi,

Could you please give more explanation about the cabling done. I have a Polo i got the mirrors and everything however the switch to fold doesnt work and only the passenger side mirror fold. Please help with the driver side cabling needed.

Byte02 Bit1 enabled, both WRMs.

Redo the comfort function with the window switches, in both doors/windows.

I have changed the coding on both WRM's to enable byte02 and bit1 with no success of folding the mirrors when locking and unlocking
