I just bought my GTI MK7, and will be buying my products from you folks just because you put these diy videos up, super helpful and I definitely appreciate it.
This video was really helpful, the detailed instructions allowed my friend and me to install these without too many snags! Thanks DAP
Add a string to the old mirror harness so when you pull the mirror you can attach the new harness to the string and guide it back through.
I was yelling at the video as he pulled it out without a string. :). I also tied braided fishing line to the small green snap before pushing it through. Pulled the new one through the same hole and it snapped right in.
You can't do it. The wire coming from the mirror is hard wired into the mirror. There would be no way to pull it through since you'd have the mirror attached.
Hooray - thank you so much for the amazing detailed expert advice - (i taped the new loom to the old loom an carefully threaded it through).
great video, I have 2015 golf tdi and used this video for the passenger side replacement of the mirror assembly without the folding option. T27 bit used, worked for me and some helpful tips below as commented by others. I should have watched full video first as my panel did not sit properly because 2 panel clips stayed on door and missed when putting them back on. Again watch the whole video first... Thanks DAP
Great vid coming from a tech stand point. I like how you use almost all the proper tools. Customers always think that tools are free or something and dont understand the enormous personal cost. You should make up some DAP pocket screw drivers and bone tools! Can never have too many pocket screw drivers. One point i can improve on is using a piece of string to attach to the harness before pulling it out, so you can tie the pulled end back through the correct path after reattaching it to the new harness.
i was thinking about doing it so but when you got to this part min12:43 i said: "i guess i'll just push when i leave the car"
great video. thanks
Brilliant video and you have saved me £100s of pounds by replacing a damaged one myself rather than going via garage. Thank you
This video helped a lot. Took me about 4 hours lol. Once I got to the passenger side, I breezed right through
Thanks for doing a detailed instruction Paul., was looking to do this install for a while. Good to know that they also offer the European version for this. Always thought that installing a folding mirror will lose the blind-spot monitor functionality.
You could have also mentioned about the door controller module, since some of the lower end controllers do not support this electrically. I believe some vendors like USP Motorsports and Ali express offer the controllers as a part of their kits.
Nice explanation and video. Thank you. Just completed a mirror replacement. Will only buy from DAP going forward.
Thanks for the video! Got the parts from you as well as well as the obdeleven and got everything working on a 2020 GTI S! :-)
I can't wait for our GTI to arrive and order these from you!
+Hambert thanks for checking us out and congrats on the new car !
Thanks for the great quality of your videos. I was actually searching for a tutorial on how to replace a faulty electric window switch assembly & your video will certainly help me when taking my door panel off...it looks really painful , i hope I don't break anything lol.
Good luck
Thanks , I managed to remove the door panel without too much drama by simply following your instructions. I also managed to repair the faulty drivers window switch & re-assembled everything again. It's working 100% now & saved myself the cost of a complete switch assembly & the labour cost to get someone to replace it. Thanks again , I couldn't have done it without watching this video.
Save your self a lot of time, when you remove the older mirror and wiring.
Tape some string to the old wiring.
Then retape to the new mirror wiring and pull and feed it though.
So much easier.
smarter not harder
I own a Jetta TSI in Brazil (gli in America) and just made a coding in VCDS to fold mirrors using car key.
Too easy indeed.
I was actually thinking about this two or three days ago
thank you! read my mind!
+Christian we knew it ; )
probably should have attached soft twine or your grabber tool before you removed the original harness. Then it will be threaded as you pulled it out. Simply attach it to the new harness, and pull through. There is a body tool that has a forked end and is very useful in preventing door clip loss or damage.
Good stuff as always. You've gained one more sub and a customer as well. I am building my 2015 GTI as well. Thx!
+SuperNova0216 thanks for considering us for your purchases. And thanks for the sub.... glad you found the videos helpful.
Hey Paul is it possible to add the blind spot mirror system to a Base GTI with the mirrors and coating?
A very good video!!!
Very good
Really want something like this for my A3 8p...
Good tutorial. Is it the same process for mk6 golf? And the module is it able to work with the new folding option? There is no need to chage the module or the harness? Thank you!
My sister managed to smash up her mirror whilst parking, this video is a great guide for when i replace it. I've worked a lot on older cars but nothing this new. Can i get away with not disconnecting the battery? I know it throws up a load of codes when you reconnect it. Can i just pull the relavant fuse to cut power to the mirror whilst i install? Cheers
I could understand that ! I ordered my R with everything this car has to offer here in North America ! What I wish I had was the LED Rear tail lights that I ordered as we speak, the electric folding mirrors, and the brushed aluminum ext mirror caps, anyway what can we do, thank you
Could you upload a video of how to do the same in an mk6? Thank you
Thanks for this video.
But install these mirrors without changing window engine ??
Nice video...I have a question about mirror caps....are the mirror caps for mirrors with signals and without signals the same size? I want to swap my caps to black, but I need to make sure they aren't specified for with or without signals.
Nice !
Do I need change door modules as well?
Hi,
is it necessary to disconnect battery or is it safe to do it without doing so ?
Should I get a diverter valve or a blow off valve? Which is better for the vehicle? I heard that bov are not very good for the car but I dont really understand why...
I see that the ones with DAP are on backorder. Any idea when the shop will have them?
Hello, I'll do this in my own car, the video is very revealing. but my problem is that I have to change the door control module as well. After this change, do I need to redo all the previous codings for the module? Otherwise, is it enough to just do the coding with the folding mirror?
Hi my Golf 7 is US Spec. I will be ordering the China Oem ones as well. Do I still need to replace the door modules for them to work?
do these fit the MK6 GLI gen 3? or would be able to provide a part number for the DAP and switch?
Hi, nice video!!! Which door control module do you have on your GTI? it is the same door control module from a TSI Highline?. I have a TSI (comfortline) and I want to know if installing new power folding mirrors, my door control modules will work or not...
Wait I need to get a new “wire harness”? Or can I just use existing one?? Cause I think the ones I’m gonna orde just has the mirirors... says nothing about a wire harness
Would it do if you detach a rope to the window wire in order to pull the new wire trough ?
These work fine on the GTI and Golf R, but one thing I heard is that the standard Golf has different modules and those need to swapped out as well. I tried to help someone install these mirrors on the Golf and we couldn't get the power folding feature to work, so I told him about the modules a few days ago and he ordered them. I'll post an update here if that ends up fixing the problem.
Thanks for the update lol
Is there a same application like this for Audi A4 b8?
Would this possibly work with a mk7 jetta? They seem to have identical looking mirrors and the jettas come standard with blind spot monitoring.
Question. We’re windows on the car previously powered or manual?. I just bought a work truck it’s 2022 but it’s the base model and it doesn’t have powered mirrors and was wondering if it’s possible to upgrade to powered mirrors and Install a switch
Can anyone tell me how you get the small plastic piece on the inside of the door that covers the screws back on? I've been trying for the last hour and I'm nowhere near getting it on!
Hello, do you have this kit to Brazilian VW Polo 2019?
Would these mirrors also enable the passenger turn down in reverse feature?
Do you have to replace the switch as well as the mirror? I thought you could just replace the mirror itself?
Hi there Is it possible to retro fit electric folding door mirrors onto a 2015 mini jcw coupe ?
You should make video on Audi A4, how to install folding mirror step by step. That will be great step by step no one done that yet on CZcams
I would like to see a 2013 VW PASSAT VR6 performance mods. What do you think?? True sleeper or ?????
Do these work for 2018 mk7.5 Golf R?
just one tip: You can have a wire came with the old mirror wire when you took off the old mirror, then you should already have the one wire to connect to the new one then pull out from the bottom.
excellent video, great quality. I like the idea of fold in mirrors but all that effort to make it automatic when it only takes a few seconds to manually push in your mirror as you exit the vehicle. Still a great video and I enjoyed watching it, but as far as modifications go this one is pretty far down on my priority list.
its not about pushing them in on your own, its a cool upgrade thats expensive for those paying to have this done, less expensive for those who are capable to DIY ! I wish Vw gave there customers the option before delivery, it probably would of costed 100-150$ more, i would like to do it to my 17R ! i dont know when but soon, the LED tail lights for me was a must because any of the golf's share the same reg tail lights in north America
nicolas Boukas It is a cool upgrade but I just feel that there are a few other upgrades meet the same criteria while also providing more utility (in my opinion). for example, DIY back up sensors, DIY back up camera, DIY fog lights , side cameras (if that is something that can be done this way), halogen lights on cars that don't have that as an option, etc.
@@xabhax back up sensors can see well beyond what you fan see by "simply turning your head". My stock Ram sits so high that I cant see things like my retaining walls when im backing up my driveway. The hood is so long and tall that I cant see the retaining walls when Im pulling in either but you know what can? Some cheap sensors in the front and back bumpers. There are absolutely varying degrees of usefulness to new tech. I would absolutely take back up sensors or a good back up camera over folding mirrors
@@xabhax amazing that you know the exact height of my retaining walls, which are too short to clear the rear bumper so unless you can see through metal takes more than slightly turning your head. They also dont clear the front bumper so unless you're 12 feet tall and have your head sticking through the sun roof that doesnt exist you cant see the distance to to the front bumper either
Hello can you please provide the link where we can buy the folding mirror for Audi A4 B8.5
please I need your help, after placing and coding the mirrors the passenger side mirror folds correctly. To fold it I make a long press on the remote control when closing the car or I select the folding of the mirrors on the driver's door knob. But the mirror on the driver's side does not fold and I don't know what else I can do... The rest of the functions of the mirrors work correctly. Please help me, thanks.
@Deutsche Auto Parts What's up with the end? What happen? Could not hear anything in the background. I loled.
Very nice install. One that I will be doing in the future, after I do my rear led light harness install and coding. But one question ... how about those door control modules? I read that "S" model Golfs will need to replace them because they will not except coding for folding mirrors.
Will this module fit the new mk7 jetta gli?
Does it work for scirocco ?
In doing this to my mk7 the cover for the mirror screws never fit correctly it slides side to side very sloppy..
I hope this is available for the mk7 Jetta GLI soon cause I really want them to fold when I lock it
Any new? I have a jetta 2021 sel.
Do these folding mirrors work on a B7 passat?
Would it work on a 2015 passat cc?
The mirror will just hang on the door once you unbolt it. You don't have to use your hip to hold them up when unbolting
cara bongkar retrack spion vw golf minta vidionya dong
Haha. Everything seems to "pop" out/in.
Why one mirror fold and one ufold please help.Thanks a lot.
I have them on my A4 and like them because it reminds me of I locked the car.
I have a question, I have been thinking for a while now to whether go stage 2(which I really want to do) with a DP in Cali which is my problem. There's no DO that will pass emissions or anything like that which is why I'm thinking of going stage 1 but I really want the power gains from stage 2 so I just really don't know?
DP**
Is it normal for the screws that hold the housing in place to strip the paint? Or is that the result of intalling and removing them multiple times for your videos? I'm a little worried about corrosion over time in that area.
We dont have any paint stripped there. I think you might be seeing some dirt that was around the screw area.
Can u add blindspot monitoring just by changing the mirrors ? Is the whole system in the mirrors?
nope you need the module and two rear radar detectors that go behind the bumper. and possible access to online coding from volkswagen. not an easy project
Does the DAP versions need any coding at all for models that didn't option the DAP or is the blind spot monitor just a standalone unit?
answer coming on AskDAP 84.
You would have to do the basic coding so the car knows that the power folding mirrors are installed and the new mirror knob works. You can also set them so they fold when the car is locked/unlocked.
You can buy cheaper non-DAP-compatible mirrors too. Non-DAP power folding mirrors can be had for ~$200 shipped from vendors at www.aliexpress.com.
Taking the door panel off was seriously the scariest thing I've ever done.... feels like things will break haha
I found the torx at 4:19 - 4:20 is a T30.
Is it plug and play on the old mk5s?
Uh no
Hello from Sweden. i have bought folding mirros from china and i installed them. the problem is that there is no way to code them with vcds. whatever i do they doesnt work. i did all the adaptation things. but still not working. only the passenger side folds when i lock the car and it DOESNT unfold when i unlock the car. Do i have to change the door control modoules ? what is the oem number for the Door control moduels in this video?? i really need help. thanks
Hittade du en lösning till detta? Jag funderar själv på att köpa från Kina
This video for those people who experienced playing around their cars is totally not a problem for them to install power folding mirrors.... for me, honestly I dont think I can do. Once I open door panel... I honestly swear I dont know how to install back .... NOT SAYING GO MAKE WIRE GO THROUGH THIS PLACE TO THAT PLACE PUT IN ADAPTER SOMEWHERE .... 😖😖😖😖
I give up!!! 😰😰
I want to have one for my both mirrors, but I dont think it is safe or not to take my car out to some store do for me....
Surprised you didn't test the mirror before replacing all the door panel scores etc.
This.
in Europe this is already included in the GTI, another cheap out of the North American models.
Same for the R :/
Mostly because Street parking especially on narrow streets is very common in Europe vs North America.
brad450 meh in Europe all have electric e brakes. Trust me it's too save money a cheap out
I think it all washes out in the end. In Europe you see a lot of cheap small diesels in otherwise nice cars where the US get high horsepower applications that obviously cost more to manufacture. Also, a lot of EU regulations require items that the US doesn't. (rear fog light, auto start/stop, aspherical mirrors, etc.) What I've always been curious of is the additional cost to manufacture two of the same thing.. I think that's where most money is lost. It would make more financial sense to have one product that is usable globally.
Jimmy A it also doesnt have the better tail lights as well as the R not having a center console or sun roof claiming "customs wont allow it" which is a load of shit because every other european car has it, also, mark 8 comes out in 2018..... Wont see it here until 2020
I really wish I could do this to my nissan altima 2009... but I cannot find anyone who does this type of job.😖😭
How i understand if my modules work with folding mirrors or not?
Do you have parts for a Polo GTI? I live in Mexico and I know that in the US you didn't get this car but you should sell these as you would get a lot of people from Mexico buying parts... I know some of the engine components are compatible as the Polo GTI uses an AE888 Gen 3 engine but I'm also looking for exterior parts. Have an amazing day!
+Angel GHR I'm sorry we don't offer polo parts.
I don't have DAP on my mk7 gti
But i ordered the oem ones with DAP is it going to be a problem for coding?
Plzz reply...
I want to sell my OEM standard MK7 tail lights anybody know how much they cost and where to sell them?
Nawaf Saaty good luck. Almost no one wants them unless they are going back to stock and they threw out theirs. Try vortex or the mk7 private sales facebook group.
so is this car yours?
for now yes
kinda
I really hated VW way of removing the mirror piece. Since the beginning it was like this.
I just push mine in when I leave the car
MK7.... What?
really? that's all they do? move inboard a couple inches? whats the point? Do people really park in such tight spots? How the hell do you get out of the car then? Through the hatch?
So many questions. LoL
If you live in a very populated area like I do in LA, yes there are very narrow streets, and a lot of the time parking is very hard to find, and also there are a lot of very stupid drivers here so yes it is a good thing to have them fold out of the way, most the time its just enough.
If you live in a small town then it's probably not an issue for you and not needed.
ImyurZero definitely a good thing to have in LA
abhorred someone has never lived in a *real city.
philo lee no one said that, he asked what people would need these for, I explained why one would. if you take it as me making fun of him for not living in a "real" city than you have some issues you need to figure out lol.
Right. Boston isn't a real city with narrow roads and challenging parking.
Don't keep saying "Kinda" it's annoying.
U talk too much man
why the point if a folding mirror again - one of the useless mods,
Daniel Mahwai not useless if you live in a city where you have to parallel park every single day.
Hello you have these folding set for 2014 gli?
