Hi everyone just wondering if fitting auto fold mirrors to my A3 8p sportsback would by any chance be a plug and play upgrade, any help would be great
If you do happen to go ahead with it ( pretty easy to do and code ) and if you need door modules give me a PM as I have 2 spare P modules ( high line )Thanks for the help, looks like I might have to do some searching
Cheers
Probably won't add much to the value of the cars at this age, plus they don't fold when you lock the car, which is what most ppl want elec folding mirrors for. If you can get the bases cheap then go for it.realistically, you will be looking around £350 all in and that's probably getting everything from a breakers but I think it's worth doing , plus it can add some value to your motor .
If done by the retrofitter I am sure they can be done by key.Probably won't add much to the value of the cars at this age, plus they don't fold when you lock the car, which is what most ppl want elec folding mirrors for. If you can get the bases cheap then go for it.
folding can be done with the key, and it can be done with coding.
requires vcp (vcds alternative), you dump the door module eeprom, and change 3 things, save it and flash it back to the module. if you google 'mk6 golf mirror eeprom' you get more info, as theres hardly any info on the 8p, other than non-english forums.
can be done for much less than £350, if you buy the mirror bodies used and use your own housing/glass. like i said, i had it up to £210 all in, and felt even that was too much for what i was getting.
i am not into ripping people off thats why the member on here picked up a good deal plus i didn't sell him the P modules as i said there is 3 modules with different letters that do the folding mirror which are loads cheaper that p , now if you where selling both mods plus the whole mirrors i would easily say £350 / £400 would be correct but as u can see your one is priced a little high or it would have gone.Now if you get ur mod sold for that price good on you but as i said in earlier post if someones buys 1 at that price there ofd there headnice story . one of the cheapest modules on ebay is around £ 50 plus shipping costs and tax, and the cost of editing epprom so that you don't have a loss costs around £ 100. If you do charity is your choice. I sell one because only one requires epprom editing so that the mirrors consist of a remote control key. Anyway on eBay you can sell your converted module you will have many buyers for your price.
You seem to be taken this a little bit personel , all i said was anybody in there right might would not purchase a module at the price you are selling . Now as far as i was aware you dont need to buy P module to do this as M module at a lower price will easily do the job , as thats what i sold the member in Greece who as i said has now got folding working using epprom . Check out Vcp-systems where u should find the epprom sofware just like you can get the Vcds software from Ross-Tech.com .hope the last 2 links help ufor me you can even distribute modules for free with the edited epprom I know how much it is worth. The price is not excessive. Browse ebay. Your comment and advice are meaningless. everybody does what they like to know, it's nice to know that epprom programs are free interesting where I don't force anyone to buy from me
Just to give you a heads up that JMP are the only facelift modules that will work for power folding as for the 8L model you could easily be right as i know nothing about that model . Vcp cable aint any more expensive than the Vcds cable as fsr as i am lead to believe and yip it can be expensive for someone to ask someone to do it but it can be done by urself just search on here and the details are there so cuts out the middle man and expense .I have both programs. vcds can't be edited epprom and vcp is an expensive program and clone can't be edited epprom, so no one wants to do it cheaply. I know there are other modules that work with folding( before facelift B,D,F,G; facelift K,P,J,Q but P and J is full optional that’s why is more expensive)
Again you seem to be taken this personnel and all i am trying to do is help other members by given them the correct info about the correct modules that will work folding mirrors on the 8p and the 3 i mentioned are only the ones that will work and even that i am not 100% sure that JM will work with epprom , plus i am just helping members save some money rather tban paying for expensive modules when others sre out there cheaper . Now if you take that as a dig at you then you hsve the problem not me but as you said lets just leave it at that and as i ssid in earlier post if you sell module for that price good on you . Now plesse pick up the bottom lipThere is no point in continuing this conversation because I have never commented on the forum about the 8L model and all my information is about the 8p model are checked and come from vwvortex apparently there is little knowledge there I don't understand why you are criticizing my auction, if you don't like it, don't look there and nobody forces you to buy it, and if everything is expensive for you, buy a Fiat since you think that I sell too expensive, so you do the epprom edition and sell cheaper, no one forbids you to do the same auction. Thanks for conversation bye
Just to give you a heads up K + Q i know for definitely dont do folding as

Would you know if this method will work with the 8P using VCDS, or VCP only option?
Cheers
Has to be done by VCP as Eeproom has to be changedCan’t be done with vcds
