Fitting Folding Mirrors to the Mk7 Golf

[monkeysrus]

I have some folding mirrors (inc switch) up for sale. Brand new in box unused, these are non DAP2 versions. Mirrors are electric folding and have puddle lights.

Cost me $700+, selling for $600.

Part numbers are:
Left Mirror 5G2 857 507 CA 9B9
Right Mirror 5G2 857 508 AJ 9B9
Switch 5G0 959 565 AA ICX

Nah, quote's from VW Central.

You paid $1150 for the mirrors/door modules/labour, or did you install them yourself? Does Autofidelity also do software tweaks? (hoping to get a few things done there too - VW Central charge a flat $55 fee for this).

Edit...Just noticed you have an R wagon, which means you would've already had the door modules....I've got to pay an extra $350 for these modules.

Depending on your VIN some cars support the folding mirrors without the need for upgrading door modules, unfortunately some of the newer Golf R's we have seen come with Door Modules that do not contain the correct PR-codes necessary to support folding function. We like to ensure each customer is provided with the correct honest advice. We simply don't want to just sell you Folding Mirrors & the switch and send you off on your way. Despite the revision being B,C,D,E they need to have the correct colour code associated. The later generation door modules also cost more than a revision B set of door modules for vehicles prior to November 2014.

We charge a flat $200 for labour of the folding mirrors, which includes the VCDS coding.

I hope this sheds some light.

Very nice, what was the overall install price?

Anyone know of an installer in Sydney?

Thanks. $1200 installed.

I've held onto the original mirrors/door switch if anyone's in need of them fyi.

Very nice, does it support Blind Spot Assist? Does any one know where I can get it done in Brisbane?

Doesn't support Blind Spot Assist - you need extra sensors etc. for that to work, & you'd struggle to find anyone willing to do that; liability etc.

Try Darkhorse Developments for Brisbane. http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ld-105267.html

I installed mine on a R estate with mib2 and blind spot assist, was easy 2hr install. Part numbers are slightly different thats all. Love the puddle lights!

Interesting!

Beside the mirrors, how many extra parts did you need for BSA???

My car was already mib2 with blind spot, was just specific mirrors with the extra wires.

Ahh, that's why. I thought you meant you installed the Blind Spot Assist (BSA) feature (& you didn't have it prior) as well as the folding mirrors.

If you've already got the DAP then yeah, you can get folding mirrors with BSA, but if you don't have DAP, then forget about BSA.

Ralfi, can you supply the part numbers you required. My car 2016 Golf R with DAP2.

My part numbers are of no use to you, mpierce, because I don't have DAP1/2. My folding mirrors are sans BSA.

monkeysrus' part numbers MAY be ones you want, but to make sure, contact VW Central - these part numbers need to be specific for your VIN number, which VW Central can check.......it's the best way to be sure.

OK... Thanks for quick reply!

I have a 2016 Golf R, Chassis #WVWZZZAUZGW026265 in Melbourne.
Which parts do I require?
Can I order them direct from you?
