[@imwmanish]

You are genius sir love you so much your all videos

[@vcdsbyrosstech]

These things have "standardized" location numbers. Example, at 10:47 in the video you can see listed for the channel "ENG141635-ENG116665". You will also see a search box on the screen. If you type in the second number there, 116665, then it should filter out EVERYTHING except for that one channel, easy. So here is a list of said numbers for your adaptation channels: ENG141635-ENG116665 = Funk Spiegelanklappung Modus ENG141635-ENG133411 = Spiegelanklappen_bei_Wiederverriegelung ENG141635-ENG116660 = Menuesteuerung Funk Spiegel anklappen ENG141635-ENG116658 = Funk Spiegelanklappen ENG141635-ENG116657 = Menuesteuerung Spiegelabsenkung ENG141635-ENG116650 = Spiegelabsenkung bei Rueckwaertsfahrt Now just search for 116665, 133411, 116660, 116658, 116657 and 116650 and you will have no issues locating those goofy German descriptions. If you like UDS, let me hear you say YEAH! ..... *crickets chirp* That confirms it, no one likes UDS. :)

[@cameratoaa]

HumbleMechanic Does this same coding work for 2017 Tiguan with stock folding mirrors?

[@tankhenghiong1997]

#humblemechanic How to code for unfolding during engine ignition instead of unfolding every time door unlock?

[@blue-ck9ns]

Another adapatation that I found nice, is if you disable Bit 5 under module 42 and 52 (door entry lights not active while mirrors folded), the puddle lights will come on as soon as you unlock the door, instead of waiting for the mirrors to unfold. It looks cool, because you can see the light beam moving as the mirror unfolds.

[@green-fk8xh]

this is a really nice tip! thanks

[@nazhif1]

folding mirrors are the easiest way to tell if my car door is locked or not.

[@noobgamerpt5224]

you can tell if the car is supposed to be locked. At least in VW and Seat you can send the lock command and have the mirrors fold in while a door is still open. after that door closes then it locks it

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

It would be better than constantly blocking the car and looking at it for the audible and visual ques.

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

@@noobgamerpt5224 reminds me of old GM cars where you lock ND unlock the car by a press of a button.

[@pdotc]

YES I do the same, look back to see.

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

Don't need to look back. My car is set to auto lock anytime all doors are closed. Never failed yet. And getting the front doors to unlock is automatic when the fobs in pocket. Opening the two rear doors is easy too, just double tap on the inside of either front door handle and the rear door auto unlocks.

[@duffieldmathstutor]

Absolute legend - watching your video just enabled me to change my wing mirror assembly after minor accident damage. Thanks so much for your super clear video - saved me a fortune at the main dealer!

[@marcequinteros]

Hi Charles, I am following your channel since a long time. I also installed the power folding mirrors to my Golf like one year ago, but I couldn´t find a way to make the puddle lights work until I watched this video. Thanks a lot for all the knowledge you are sharing in your videos. Keep up with the great work!! Cheers from Uruguay!!

[@HumbleMechanic]

Awesome. Glad to help

[@turboflush]

I used to do this on the 80's mustangs.. allot of parts from all the different fox platforms are easily installed or adapted. Didn't have power seats.. find a Thunderbird. Plugs right in. Want different map light. Find a merkury. Lol

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

My 2018 white Sportwagen has mirror dip on reverse, carbon fiber mirror caps and the flowing turn signal feature, but not folding mirrors. Darn you for putting up this video and getting me salivating again.

[@miketeeveedub5779]

Seems like an outrageous amount of work for a simple mirror update, but looks can be deceiving. Actually it's quite a sophisticated upgrade, especially for the programming concerning the infotainment system. Thanks for sharing this with us Charles, and introducing us to the reality of what's required for modern vehicles upgrades. Cheers!

[@r.b.2686]

Dude, perfect timing! Am about to install these on my '19 R tomorrow, thanks!

Can you do a video on how to install door light logo? Those logos that comes on the ground when you open the door

[@brdpit]

Those would be very beneficial for me. I park in a parking deck every day and my spot is pretty tight

That sucks.

[@davidmorales60535]

I sold my gti over a year ago but cant stop watching your videos. Great job like always

[@HumbleMechanic]

Thanks so much. What did you replace it with

[@davidmorales60535]

@@HumbleMechanic went with a 2014 Subaru XV crosstrek limited. Much slower but has more space without driving like an SUV and got it for a great price. I had a mk5 dsg and the new tech is awesome but the cvt is awful. Also have a 97 miata for the fun drives so not completely missing out on all the fun. Definitely returning to the VW family for a used mk7 golf R later on.

[@johnmoser2689]

Awesome... I'm glad you're doing these upgrades explained very well like the Kessey rear door handles.... coding for these things makes the car extra cool and tons of VW owners don't even know it can be done

[@garyklein7900]

This is an excellent video. I have to replace my mirror on my golf and this video is the gold standard of ones I've looked for on youtube.

[@lotechur]

This is one of my favorite MODs, the puddle light has saved me more that once, in dog a friendly yard... Those trim tools are key, wish I researched prior to "very, very" carefully ripping the panels away from the door... lol

Best video on KZbin, when installing folding mirrors. 10 of 10 would definitely watch again if messing with door panels or mirrors on my Golf Alltrack!

[@timyoung6125]

Awesome video! Just finished installing on Mk7 R. Fishing line trick worked a charm! Long Coding probably took the longest to find all of the adaptations to change. Fantastic detailed videos. Thanks!!

[@_Steven_S]

Speaking of OCD.... your volume knob is off TDC by at least one click 😁 One thing I strongly dislike with my Leon is the rear window defroster and heated mirrors are operated by different controls. The rear window defroster from the button on the climate controls, that has an adaptable timer; and the heated mirrors from the mirror adjust rotatory button, that doesn't appear to be timed. I've not been in a situation where I'd have the mirrors heating and not the rear window or vice-versa, and I sometimes forget to switch the mirrors off which can't be good for the elements 😢

[@HumbleMechanic]

Hahahha maybe it’s the camera angle. 😜. I hate that button is not blacked out

[@TubesWidener]

VW have some stupid ideas especially with how you fold and unfold the mirrors. You have to look at the button before and after you rotate to know which mark you are on and where to rotate it because it fully turns to 5 different position without any tactile feed back of what is the current position! Very very stupid and a normal kick back of the button to fold/unfold is much easier as in our 10 y old chevy cruze. German engineers are sometimes so dumb

[@klavier285]

I finally got around to doing this, my hands are beat up, but it was worth it. Thanks for the guide, I kept looking at it while doing the job.

[@TheDsantander]

Charles, just installed mine and with your video it was a breeze!!!!

[@andrestanger90]

Danke für die ausführliche Anleitung, das nächste Projekt steht mal fest :D Und, ja. Die Straßen bei uns hier in Europa sind um einiges schmäler als in Amerika. Da macht der Umbau echt Sinn Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland, mach weiter so^^

[@BRP-Moto-Tips]

hey can I ask you how much the mirrors costed? can you buy only the motor or do you have to change the whole assembly?

[@TubesWidener]

I agree it is very cool and important in narrow traffic. My wife old Chevy cruze had this optin and she was used to it to the degree she insisted that I buy her the next trim of Passat because the base trim did not have that auto folding mirrors.!!!

[@digiviceking]

all the way from Singapore!! luckily my MK7 Golf R already comes with power-folding mirrors.

[@HumbleMechanic]

It seems like US is the only market with out

[@cbaldan]

@HumbeMechanic thanks for detailed tutorial I watched it to remove the mirrors on a GTI and retrofit the puddle light. The harness clip tip was awesome! Overall, the video was extremely helpful, very clear and went over every step and trick to make a clean job.

[@pdotc]

This by far is one of my favorite mods on my car.

[@mattsharlotte150]

Hi Charles, did this on my MK7, your instructions were perfect. Thanks very much, great channel. Cheers, Matt.

[@sam67uk]

I’m glad my 7.5 R had these from the factory. A lot of work to install them. Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ElectroVeeDub]

Mark II GTI's for the win! (You don't have to know C++ just to install a mirror...)

[@HumbleMechanic]

HAHAHA Truth!

[@green-fk8xh]

this is actually a really worthy upgrade. the puddle lights and passenger's side mirror lowering in reverse feature are already really nice upgrades (and should have definitely came standard), but the power folding just makes it feel much more luxurious... I think the main reason they left them out ultimately comes down to cost cutting, and not really to do with the size of the car, because you can get power folding mirrors from the factory on an S3, which is about the same size as the Golf.

[@HumbleMechanic]

100% cost :(

[@HeliconPath]

Really want to do this to my A3 8P... had no idea it would be this much work hahaha

[@HumbleMechanic]

If you have some technical ability it’s a super quick job. For me it would be an hour max start to finish, both sides with coding. Average DIY is 2.5 hours I’d guess

[@juanr.rodriguez3109]

Man, it’s sad that the 7.5 R didn’t come with it along with the auto hatch. Now that I have the 2019 Tiguan SEL premium it is two options I wish my Golf R had them too. Thanks for the videos.

[@HumbleMechanic]

And remote start!!!

[@jtsherri]

As always, thanks for the great content, Charles! Just finished my install and it was MUCH easier due to your how-to. Keep up the awesome work! 👍🏻

[@HumbleMechanic]

Awesome!!!!!

[@jtsherri]

HumbleMechanic - Question for ya: I have my doors set to lock after I exit the vehicle (using the prox sensor). Do you know if there’s a setting that will also instruct the mirrors to fold when this happens? I already have everything else you have coded set and currently this doesn’t work.

[@bryan_turner]

Good stuff. You should wrap those door clips with a small amount of tesa tape. I did that on my 6R and it cut down vibrations and buzzing a ton. Although I imagine a brand new car doesn't have many of them yet.

[@lagerace227]

Looks straight forward, Thanks I don’t have fishing line but maybe I can use weed wacker line. I used it to pull the wires through the rubbers boots and panels in the hatch for the LED taillight install.

[@farrell19075]

Great video, Charles! I don't even have a Mk7 and I still watched all of it. Clear instructions and good close-ups to show what you are doing. I'm sure that I'll be watching it all again in the future if I replace my Mk6 GTI with a Mk7.

[@farrell19075]

Folding mirrors are a great idea when parking on city streets since they give an extra few inches of clearance before someone clips them with a bike or passing car. I manually fold my driver's side Mk6 mirror in when parking in Philly, NYC, etc.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@wafi3187]

I kinda a like manual mirror in my b6 A4, I like how they are super strong. I remember when there was a huge snow storm, all of my neighbors car mirrors was either broken off or fold back ward, while my mirror is the exact way I left. I can’t forget the face of my neighbors looking for there mirrors under in snow while I am walking to my car like some kind of hero lol I wanted to scream ITS GERMAN ENGINEERING BRO!

[@TheNorville2]

Another great video to top it off... some great music just before the end...

[@green-fk8xh]

ever since installing these, whenever I see another Golf parked with their mirrors out, I think "why do they have their mirrors sticking out like that? 😂

[@jaydenwaddington]

Gutted you don’t have them as standard. Good thing for us in UK

[@TheDiablosix6six]

Power folding mirrors are standard in Ireland and as was previously said, it's a great way to confirm that ur car is locked!!

So sick! I remember when I installed the Euro tail lights on my MKV Jetta TDI. And all the long coding I changed on it too.

[@brndnmrcs]

People in the US are making their car look Euro, whilst here in Europe we make our cars look USDM lol. I especially like the USDM Jetta/Passat taillights for the red blinkers. I guess it's because here we see the Euro lights on a daily basis and vice versa.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Funny how that happens 😂

[@99GAZI]

Awesome explanation, pointing out all the pitfalls.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Thank you

[@warpigroadkill]

Mine has these from factory, but my car is a Japanese version imported to the UK, so for a 2014 Golf R mk7 it's got pretty much all of the options ticked. However, one thing that does get me is that I can hear the trunk handle open for the reverse camera, but my head unti only displays the sensor screen. I'll have to open the trunk and take a look as you never know what previous owners have done, espically from Japan as they like to modifiy their cars with lighting etc. It even has an ETC reader in the glove box.

[@jhuntosgarage]

I recently rented a small Mercedes wagon in Italy that had this feature for the mirrors. Yeah, raid space is really tight there. This feature is probably to guard against losing mirrors to scooter riders.

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

It is interesting that you say this because I had a conversation with a friend about this. On the 08 MY C-Class (W204) they had this feature (I think as an option) in the US and for the 09-14 model years they removed this feature and only Canadian cars had them. Between the 2010 MY to the 2014 MY they redesigned the mirrors on the C-Class that looked exactly like thebmirrors on the E-Class (W212) and they have the power folding mirrors. It makes me wonder why they didn't bring back the power folding mirrors for the 2010-2014 C-Class'? After seeing this video, I wonder how hard it would be to retrofit the C-Class to have this feature.

[@EmperorTerran]

wish yours would not have automatic headlights off when no ignition, cuz thats the mod my old old audi needs, should be easy and i am comfortable with electric stuff, but good guide would be always great.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Great tutorial! I want this on my MK7 GTI. I think this mixed with the sequential turn signals and also new blind spot concave-vexed mirrors, as I don’t have blind spot monitoring, would be the perfect combo. $500 for all this is a lot, but I think worth it.

[@HumbleMechanic]

If you don’t have Bilnd spot it’s like $350 for the mirrors. But add turn signals and mirrors and you may be right back up there.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

HumbleMechanic yeah. $350 isn’t bad. I would do the mirrors and sequential turn signals all at the same time if I did it. Would be $500 for everything. Still not too bad.

[@FinalDriveshow]

[@noobgamerpt5224]

Since those don't come as standard in US, at least can you open the windows with the key? As in holding the "open" button, opens the windows and the "close" closes them all

[@klavier285]

Not by default, no. We can enable it through coding though. Who knows why VW didn't enable that on US cars, there's all kinds of small features like that missing on US cars that can be activated if you have a scan tool.

[@ViewlessSquid]

If Charles says you probably don't have to do it, then he does it, you should probably do it.

[@j_white1305]

I wish this would have been an option in the USDM. Are you going to do the dynamic turn signals as well? Then get the Euro tails. Just get lubed up and jump right down that rabbit hole.

Hahaha I have tail lights but I don’t have a time line on install. It’s a mod I’ll never really see so I’m not super motivated to do it. Love they dynamic blinky but I want them all to do it. Lol

[@Peter_Riis_DK]

8:37 - what is that "mirror_lowering_with_rear_gear, active" and "position_memory_with_...", bit 2 and 3 on the screen? Oh - and what does that green retainer do - you only mentioned to push it out of and into the hole?

[@Harry92evers]

It dips the passenger side mirror towards the ground when the car is put in reverse, very handy so you dont hit your back wheel off a kerb when parking. The mirror returns to its normal position when you drive forward or if you switch the car off.

[@Peter_Riis_DK]

@@Harry92evers Okay, but why not tick them off at the same time, then...?

[@Harry92evers]

You can, I'm not sure why he hasn't. They also only activate when the knob is left in the R position (LHD cars). So if you dont want that feature every time you reverse you just twist the knob to 0.

[@Peter_Riis_DK]

@@Harry92evers Thanks man. Can you answer the last question too?

[@Harry92evers]

The green retainer? Its attached to the door loom, it hold the loom in place inside the door so it doesnt catch in the window or regulator, it also stops the loom from rattling inside the door.

@Charles, great video, it inspired me to pull the trigger and install these on my 2017 E-Golf here in the USA. The 2017 E-Golf is a mk7.5 Golf, so thought this would be straight forward, but my mirror doesn't fold, nor does the puddle light come on. I have programmed the door module, and I did module 09 as per your detailed video. Nothing happens when I use the new mirror knob to fold the mirror. I was trying to see how many wires you had going to your mirror control switch, as mine only has 4, two pairs at either end of the plug. The two center positions are empty. The coding was accepted and appears to be correct as per your vid', so at a lost as to my it doesn't work. Any ideas? Many thanks.
