A3 8V Pre-Facelifted Heated side mirrors

[Niko Muller]

Guys, I need some help with the heated side mirrors
Once I opened my mirrors and saw that all the wires are there for heated function I ordered the door knob with the heating function at 6 o'clock. Done the coding which I think is only in 42 and 52 in VCDS and check the heating installed bit. Should it be something else to code?
Do I need a different control unit?
Mine is: 5Q0959392A
Or I missed something
Hope someone can help and thank you a lot

Facelift - Heated Mirrors

Hi All, might be a silly question but how do I tell the heated mirrors have been activated? This morning they were frosted up and no matter what I did with the mirror button they didn't seem to come on. The light stays the same as well so I've no idea if it changes to indicate they are on. I...

So, I got them working. For whoever is trying to do this aswell
All you need is the door knob with the part number 8V0959565A (or D for Chrome knob)
Your mirrors are already heated and the door control unit is also right. Mine is 5Q0959393A driver door and 5Q0959392A passager door. They are like basic/low meaning they don't support power folding but they do support heating.
2 coding neede. In channel 42 and 52 just check the "mirror heating" box
You should see it in Efficiency Program in DIS when is under 20° outside (temp display)
Tip: you don't really need the new hande if you don't want to. Mine works perfectly without switching the handle, only the knob. Though you can't see the light/icon.
The handle has 4 screws and 4-5 nits (melted plastic instead of screws)
