If you add this coding to a MK7 without memory seats the mirror will always return slightly higher than it was originally. There are a large number of people over at VWVortex with MK7 Rs and GTIs that can confirm. It does it in my MK7 R.

[@arsalkarima3507]

Iain B that’s true

[@NoZenith]

It returns back slightly low for me every fourth or fifth day I have to reset my passenger door mirror

[@christykrasniqi9364]

is there any way to adding seat memory or making it go back to the desired angle

[@christykrasniqi9364]

is there any way to adding seat memory or making it go back to the desired angle

[@blue-ck9ns]

Yup. I retrofit the folding mirrors on my 7.5. It returns to the correctly spot sometimes, but other times it’ll return to a spot that’s close, but slightly higher than how I had it set. Very annoying, but at least I can see the curb now

[@Gviper03]

Can you get this to work on both sides? L and R whichever is switched to when parking?

[@nikefans]

This is super cool but would this trick void the warranty?

[@mkygod]

It works, but half the time, my mirrors return back too high after dipping.

[@sonysony18]

Same. I was.hoping there is a way to recalibrate it ....

[@robojohn181]

I tried twice to do this but it gets stuck on the working part and nothing happens all of the other apps work except for this one any advice of what I'm doing wrong?

[@ZOMBIFORC3]

Once it's all coded properly does the switch have to be in "R" at all times for it to work?

[@GarethSmyth88]

is the black matte panelling behind the doors just a wrap? looks amazing!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Gareth Smyth thanks. Yes it is a wrap

[@paulbybee6278]

This makes no sense, I don't understand it. The video describes the feature selected to dip mirror from the factory called 'lowering in reverse' so what does app do in addition? Anything?

[@roninglx]

I miss this feature on my passat b5.5, my 2012 GLI doesn't have this

[@MrMduchesne23]

Ok this is very cool. I did Google this and there seems to some disagreement on whether or not you need the power/leather seats option to have it return to your preset position when you're done.. can you confirm this?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+mitchell duchesne this vehicle does not have power or memory seats

[@MrMduchesne23]

Well that's just too good. Consider this mod done.

[@MrMduchesne23]

Deutsche Auto Parts just finished completing the order. looking forward to ordering a few other things from your site in the future.

[@laurencerucker2585]

SO hold on so you have to turn the mirror switch to R (or left here in Oz) before you start to reverse? It does not automatically do it in reverse... I suppose if you just run over some idiot walking across the road and want to make sure I did a good job and select reverse to run over them again you do not want the mirror/s pointing down to the back wheel do you...

[@mui-chunlim7715]

Will this trick works on 2016 e-golf se model?

[@jamesburkholder794]

My 2012 Eos I have a mirror issue that just started lately. When I use button to fold mirrors the fold ok. When I try to open they both open but right mirror "chatters" about 30 seconds the stops. When I say chatter seems like maybe it is trying to open more but cannot. I wish I knew how to re set or re sync mirrors ?

[@DJKFLOW93]

Can this be done on a mk6 gti?

[@Yarokerr]

Will it work on VW Golf 2018 models?

[@houssainzeinne7417]

What is the name of the phone app

[@AnHRTBus]

I know on the Mk5 you can link the passenger and driver side mirrors to move together in the MFD display menu, so can this be done on a Mk5?

[@keithchirayus]

Will this work on the 2018 Golf R mk7.5

[@useruseraa885]

i retrofitted power folding miror and now i don't have anymore dip in reverse, any help ?

[@ejje4395]

Just did the same and have the same problem. Did you find a solution?

[@JM-lx5gx]

Will this work with MK7 GSW?

[@anthonyblevins6588]

Hello DAP, I have a question about the dip function. I have already coded via OBDeleven as instructed. That said, when I come out of reverse and start to drive I notice that each time the sideview mirror resets from the dip, it gets slightly higher and higher until I am forced to reset it manually. Now here is the question. Do I need to purchase a different module for my car (2015 R with DCC/NAV)? Thank you for your time.

[@svetoslavdimitrov85]

how i can code without credits, I have a pro version.

[@milnersway569]

Only works on the left mirror right hand drive

[@Urbanmk7]

im having trouble getting VIM to wwork. mk7 gti

[@alexmorangelli3319]

only passenger side mirror dips... not driver side idk how to fix this

[@NoZenith]

That is the functional not an error

[@Drewdownkali]

can this be done with vcds?

[@Drewdownkali]

britishav8tor75 nothing there says how to activate it. that's about it not returning to the right spot after shifting out of reverse.

[@Drewdownkali]

britishav8tor75 lol. thank you!!

[@Great_America]

My 2004 Volvo S60R had this feature! WTF is wrong with VW not offering this along with a lot of the other features as standard??

[@dq3666]

My 1998 BMW 540i had this....I'm totally with you with the WTF?!

[@danielconlin2550]

I have a 2017 GTI SE and it says that this app is not supported what's up with that?

[@tech_gear]

daniel c I'm having the same issue with my SE as well, along with a handful of other apps :/

[@danielconlin2550]

tech_gear okay so what I did was enter the wrong car type. Get in contact with the support on the app and ask them to change to your car then they should all work.

[@troyh8461]

Has anyone done this successfully with folding mirrors (replacing the US OEM mirrors)?

[@MrMeng-sx4vg]

my obdeleven pro don't have this app

[@zapurice]

This is very strange on my MK 7 TDI 1.6 from 2013 this option was working without any codding.

[@IainB]

Seeing as you have a 1.6 TDI I'm assuming you're not in the US. And I bet you have memory seats? The MK7s with memory seats do this from the factory. The proper functionality of the mirror dip is directly tied to the memory seat function. I have a 2016 Golf R in the US and we don't get memory seats. I have coded this mirror dip on my car but when you put the car into drive and go, when the mirror returns up it always ends up going just a tad to high. This happens to anyone in the US who has coded this in.

[@NoZenith]

@@IainB weird, am I the only person whose mirrors return back lower than they started?

[@Konigwt2jz]

Hey DAP, I've recently picked up a mk7 golf and i was just wondering if it was common for the reverse camera to only work sometimes. eg I'll reverse and camera comes on but the next time i put the car in reverse it won't work is there a way to fix it or i should just contact my dealership. thanks

[@KyleKlabunde]

why no iOS app?

[@sidenotex1336]

Only worked for the right mirror for me..

[@Vesper778]

A lot of people told me Obeleven would brick my car. Is that true Deustche Auto Parts?

[@markbia9761]

no

[@Deutscheautoparts]

You wouldn't brick your car but if you go in and start changing things with no direction or understanding what the intent is then you could end up changing something your didn't want to. As a general rule you shouldn't start changing things unless you know whats going to happen when you perform said action. We put out a ton of info around this to help people understand how to use this tool for various reasons. Hope this makes sense

[@Vesper778]

Wonderful. I always want to do mini mods like these in my Mk7 GTI.

[@Oshaneeee]

This is in the manual guys... Mk5 and maybe Mk6 Rotary mirror knob in 'L' position. Stationary, engage reverse (clutch down obviously). Use mirror knob to adjust for kerb view. Take car out of reverse. Dipping will only occur with the rotary control in the 'L' position. Normal position is adopted at 10mph.

[@RickJohnson]

L being RHD cars, and for those which are coded. For LHD cars, the mirror position must be in "R". In NAR cars (US/Canada), we don't get mirror-dip enabled by default.

[@killphil9119]

very nice vid ,but you talk too much . is Charly with you ?

[@angelovlachos5834]

will this work on non folding mirrors?
