Can anyone confirm if the below will fit the 2018 S3 as the listing says 2013 to 16

2013 - 2016 sounds like pre facelift. I wouldn’t have thought the mirro fitting would change, but it’s a risk I suppose.
 
It fits...they didn't change the mirror mounting on a facelift. Make sure that you get the right mirrors.....limo only fits limo etc.

Before i retrofitted both sides dimming mirrors, i had a prefacelift set as temporary mirrors.

If you have side assist, then you need to switch/cross the two side assist wires in of the side assist Led. Because facelift is different.

As above should be standard on an expensive car. My RS3 has over 10 grand's worth of options when priced up with the brochure but no power folding mirrors!!!!.
 
Got them fitted and working from the switch but does anyone know the code to get them folding on lock using vcds. The option isn’t in the mmi

Managed to get a set of genuine carbon covers also for £110 so spent today fitting them and the folding mirrors.

Big thanks to RJ-8V for the coding help.
