MK7.5 Golf R Power Folding Mirrors Installation and Coding

Рет қаралды 164,238

4 жыл бұрын

The MK7.5 Golf R didn't come with power fold mirrors in the USA. In this video we install power fold mirrors, and code the power fold mirrors to the car. For this installation the door trim panels on the Golf R will be removed, mirror glass will be removed, mirror caps, and mirror housing. The power fold mirrors and puddle lights will also need to be coded on. These power fold mirrors will also work with blind spot monitoring or DAP!

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. :)

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

@blue-ck9ns 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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 😢

@TubesWidener 4 жыл бұрын

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

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.

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.

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'?

@yoadriaaannn 4 жыл бұрын

@@JoshuaMillerDev Ok so I'm not a famous mechanic or blogger but here's what I know about it since I am doing the MPI next on my stg3 mk7 gti. MultiPortInjection-MPI is used here in the US (oem on the Euro VWs) is a mod done mainly when you install a large turbo, larger than even the is38 found on the Golf R, when you really want to run full ethanol fuel aka e85 to gain as much power and eliminate any dangerous knocking related w/ higher boost levels. But you need also an upgraded LPFP (fuel pump found inside the tank) to be able to run the MPI extra 4 injectors that will be installed on the intake manifold. between the MPI and LPFP you are looking at $1200 give and take. Labor is about $600 to install both. Special tune is needed for both to work, you MUST upload the tune before starting the vehicle after it all gets installed. With larger turbo and other supporting mods, you will most likely be around 450-500+ bhp on the ea888 gen3 engines. Another benefit as you mentioned, will be keeping the valves a lot cleaner from the dreaded carbon deposits which all direct injected engines suffers with. You can also run 93 octane instead of full e85 but your tuner needs to tune accordingly. One interesting thing is that you could potentially have the MPI fuse off and run only when needed to clean the valves, not its main purpose of course but in case you wanted to save gas and be on 4 injectors when boosting instead of 8, although 2 different tune maps would need to be stored in your Cobb Accessport so you could use one or the other. CTS Turbo has a MPI that sells for around $700 when on sale, reg. price is $850. I have a hybrid turbo from Europe that is larger than the is38 found on Golf R's, the larger the turbo of course the more laggy it can be, but the MPI along w/ the e85 fuel can really help tremendously! Cool?

@@yoadriaaannn thanks for the details, I like learning. Probably not in my cards for this lifetime. I am a non mechanic, but do DIY crap. Most recently had to replace my clutch because of all things the pressure plate fingers (2) popped out of their rivet. Luckily there is enough info across forums, youtube, and helpful people so I could get by. This mpi stuff interests me, however only to keep the valves clean. So it seems like a massi e amt of effort for little gain, and a side effect of having to tune which I am not trying to do. Happy with 230 or whatever this mk7 pp is.

Nice instructive video, but I'd never spend the money for this feature. I would put a drop of Loctite blue on the T30's holding the mirrors on the door.

Which platforms and models does this mod apply? This would be pretty awesome for my mk5 2 door rabbit. Did you code for rapid inline turn signals? Need to update if that's the case.

Is there a way to find euro part numbers for mirror glass (the passenger one) that doesn't have the "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" ? Tried looking it up before, not finding it.

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

Charles, any word on adding remote start to a Mk7? Is it possible? And if so, how difficult would it be?

Great install and tutorial! Totally agree the R should have come with this in the US. It's a shame we always gets shafted with luxury features like this being omitted. 😡

Hello please if we don't have ambiance light so i think we will need other door module if you can help with the reference 🙏

@rdindyal 3 жыл бұрын

Question: Do you have to code the mirrors or can I just use the door panel switch to fold the mirrors? I do not mine not being able to use the key fob/lock button to fold the mirror.

Good video bro, this process works in a jetta GLI mk7?, in China the Jetta have folding mirrors and the controller for the mirrors so i will probably buy them in a Web store from china, but the process in Vagcom is the same?
