electric folding mirrors

[Snuff]

does the S3 have electric folding mirrors. if so where is the switch coz it says in the manual they fold in .


sorry if this seems like a stooopid question

 

[beanoir]

I dont believe they ever were an option, and i've never seen one with.

 

[Snuff]

thats a bit **** . my leon had them . oh well

 

[beanoir]

Can you make Leon ones fit...now there's a mod!

Yes the 8L had the option as I bought them new & fitted, its not cheap, however I can supply/fit them if interested.

I actually wired them to open/close with locking system

Reason why nobody has seen them, is the dealerships didnt even know they could have them & hence nobody ordered, except me after I bought the S3 lol.

 

[beanoir]

Trust you Nige! You know more than Audi knows.

One tries ones best lol, tbh mate it cost me a truck load to do then & this was some 8 years ago iirc, but loved them as I added the dimming sides aswell, probably the only 8L that had that kit tbh, but since that day, never had a car without, just very convenient.

I would definitely be up for this mod depending on price. If there were a few of us, would you be able to offer something like a group buy if you can supply and fit mate?

 

[NHN]

TBH mate that depends on the costs now, plus how many as time taken isnt less for more people, but I am willing/happy to see if we can work something out.

 

[kwistof]

That's fair enough. I've always wanted some to go with the auto locking sunroof and windows- would look great on total closure with the fob! Is it just the case of fitting a new/another motor inside the mirror housing? Or would everyone have to buy new mirrors? (then I expect it would get very pricey!)

 

[NHN]

Reuse covers & glass, rest is new.

 

[fran-s3]

What a cool mod - I'd love that! Do they fold out as soon as you unlock your car with the fob or when you start your engine?

Nige vids please!!!

We are all interested now and bow down to your infinite Audi knowledge...lol

Nilz me old china, I sold the car some 3 years ago, but take my word for it I did fit them & added some trickery to work of the locking, which also included full closure, to stand there watching it work, although *****, was sublime lol.

They folded & unfolded with remote lock/unlock

 

[Nilz]

Nige, hope you and the family are all well mate...

Full closure is awesome, the cockiness factor really prevails..

Im also a fan of the windows opening when its hot and im walking to the car in the packed car park on the way home from work...look at me Mr Cool!!

Quick question, with your total closure, did you have it so that button had to be kept pressed, or are you aware of a one touch option that can be programmed, as this would be so much better??

 

[NHN]

They are thanks mate, its 40+ degrees in Italy atm, cant go outside as you're crispy in about 2 minutes flat lol.

Anyway down to folding, it was setup in a way it did on 1 depress either way, its not a coding option, was totally bepoke as such except for the audi parts.

hold down the unlock key on the key fob and they will start sliding down

 

[Inertiauk]

I would love the folding mirrors mod too, a write up with part numbers and how too would be nice

 

[Nilz]

Andrecc...thanks for that mate, i know it does that, my question was is there a way of them going down without keeping the button pressed.

 

[666markyboy]

Just some part numbers would be a nice start.... i doubt they would still be available though if they were that rare in the first place
