VW Golf 8 electrically folding mirror retrofit package

Significantly upgrade your VW Golf 8 CD with the original electrically folding exterior mirrors.

Here we supply you with the retrofit package for installing the original electrically folding mirrors in your VW Golf 8.

It is operated via the new switch position in the driver's door, with your radio key and via the new menu item in your multimedia system - as installed at the factory.

You can set in your infotainment system whether the exterior mirrors should fold in automatically when you lock your VW Golf 8.

In addition, the LEDs built into the lower parts of the exterior mirrors illuminate the area around the doors when you open your VW.

After briefly plugging it into the very easily accessible OBD diagnostic interface in the driver's footwell, the KECODI coding interface supplied here uses the innovative KECODI that is already preset for you to fully automatically activate the automatically folding exterior mirrors.

No further activations or even a visit to your VW partner's workshop are necessary; the KECODI completes the full activation of the rear view camera in just a few seconds.

• - 1x Original VW Golf 8 CD outside mirror electrically folding left (depending on model)

Please provide the chassis number during the ordering process

Please note the exclusion for vehicles from model year 2023 onwards with installed PR number NI8 (NI8 = Without UNECE CS (R155) and SU (R156) with SFD2-SG) or installed PR number NI7 (NI7 = With UNECE CS (R155) without SU (R156)) or installed PR number NI9 (NI9 = With UNECE CS&SU) or installed PR number NI1 (NI1 = With UNECE CS&SU).

Unfortunately, these models cannot be retrofitted or unlocked.

Vehicles from model year 2023 with installed PR number NI0 (NI0 = Without UNECE CS&SU) can only be upgraded to a limited extent. Please contact us in advance with the chassis number so that we can check this. Vehicles from previous model years (e.g. 2022, 2021, 2020, etc., where this PR number does not yet exist) can still be retrofitted.

Product attributes:

The retrofitting of the original automatically / electrically folding exterior mirrors with integrated ambient lighting is possible on all VW Golf 8 CD models of all years of manufacture, all body styles (including Variant) and all equipment variants (including GTI, GTD, etc.).

Of course, the mirror heating / memory function / passenger mirror lowering will continue to function normally if it is already installed.

Product compatibility:

The vehicle manufacturer installs two different door control units (Lowline, Highline), each of which enables more or fewer additional functions.

To determine the part number of the door control units, you can either read the part number directly on the door control unit or you can read the two door control units with a tester (e.g. KECODI, VCDS, ODIS). In general:

Structure of the part number: XX0-959-?9X

Here the position of the ? (question mark) is important.

? = 5 = Retrofitting possible - the door control unit does not have to be replaced to retrofit the folding mirrors.

? = 3 = Retrofitting not possible - the door control unit (driver, passenger or both) must be replaced.

If the door control units need to be replaced, please contact us

In our experience, the two door control units have always been capable of working ex works if exterior mirrors with memory function are installed ex works (= PR number: 6XR). However, please check these anyway.

Installation information:

The existing painted mirror housings and the mirror glasses are individual components - these are dismantled and mounted on the new electrically folding mirrors supplied here - so they DO NOT need to be replaced.

No further wiring work is necessary - the new mirrors are simply plugged into the door control unit inside the door.

The final activation is carried out completely and automatically by the included KECODI coding interface, including the creation of the new menu item in your multimedia system. No further changes / activations etc. are necessary.
