Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Power fold side mirror install - How do I check door modules?

    Hi folks

    I have a 2018 mk7.5 GTI, and I am wanting to install power fold side mirrors (w/o blind spot monitoring). I understand these will only works on cars with certain door modules. Wondering if anyone knows a way of checking what door modules the car has without removing the door trim?

    Cheers

    @JordoPordo: Hi

    I assume that you don't personally own a diagnostic cable like VCDS, OBD11, or VCP. If so, go to the part of the forum HERE and request the services of a colleague who lives close-by and who does have such a cable. You might be asked to pay a nominal fee for the assistance.

    The scan report that results from one of these cables will identify the Part/Software number of the door modules

    Don

    PS: If you proceed with the project, most likely you will need access to a diagnostic cable (for the necessary coding changes to the new modules) - so the relationship that you will create with the forum colleague will be advantageous in this part of the exercise

    Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the wider expertise of other forum members! Thank you.
