Am looking at a 2017 Polo GTI, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have folding mirrors. Keen to understand if the motor to fold is already built into the mirror housing. With some VCDS coding and the correct switch is this all I need? Or do I need new mirrors with the correct motor modules, switch and coding etc?
Can’t seem to find all the correct info. Any help would be appreciated

Nop, no such luck there with that feature, sounds a bit like when my mate got his first VW, a T-ROC, and expected that I would be able to "just switch on" Sat Nav seeing as I have VCDS!

Re: Power Folding Mirrors
Thanks for the link, this seems to be for power mirrors on the 6r. Am I missing something here?

Re: Power Folding Mirrors
I have no issues attempting to have a go at fitting these myself, what I need to understand is what’s needed to complete the task in hand. As I don’t have the car yet am working slightly blind.

Re: Power Folding Mirrors
This will be most likely.
You will have to do an operation similar to the link that was directed to you in the previous post, but not the same when it comes to pinning/wiring. You will need the Polo 6C wiring diagrams.
Until you have the car do not do anything (purchases), first you will have to check the References of the WRMs that are installed in your car.

Re: Power Folding Mirrors
That was just a quick response as at that time we might have thought that you were not planning on retro fitting them, that was all.
I've retro fitted "stuff" as per factory fit to many of my cars, so I don't have a problem with anyone doing that.
Good Luck.

No worries, will do some more investigating on what’s required.RUM4MO wrote: ↑Sat Apr 09, 2022 9:50 amThat was just a quick response as at that time we might have thought that you were not planning on retro fitting them, that was all.
