Glad it was a wire swap. Had that figured from the start. Vw did some interesting things just because it's wired one way for one type I've learned to triple check pin outs when things get added. Vw is notorious for moving pins around.
Once you connect with your laptop to the interface here are the steps:
1. Select "Door Elect, Driver" - module 42
2. Click on: "Security Access - 16"
3. Insert the security code: 04354 and hit "Do it!"
4. Once you are again to the previous menu, click on "Adaptation - 10"
5. Here select the following channel: (9)-System_Parameter_0-System Parameter Byte8
(be patience to find the exact channel, it's quite a long list , but as a tip : it's in the second half of the list)
6. Once selected you will notice the old value which is 90.
Here you have to options for the new value before you click "Do it!":
a. 95 (which I've chosen) - will automatically fold your mirrors while holding the lock button and will unfold them when you turn on the engine.
b. 99 - will automatically fold your mirrors while holding the lock button and will unfold them when you open the driver door.
7. Next window simply click: "Yes".
8. Click "OK"
9. Please check the new value to be there , and "Go Back" and exit the program and disconnect the interface.
10. You are ready!
There are indeed several versions. I see Yeti mirrors are generally cheaper but some have 9 pin, some 11. Then the Tiguan ones I can see out 13 pin. Probably source 2 of the latter, a new switch (not Chinese) and see if I can get it working. From my vcds scan I see I have Gen4 controllers.
Hello,
I read the topic from the beginning but I still haven't come to the conclusion if i can add folding mirrors without changing the doors control modules with new ones that support the new functions or the eeprom of existing one can be rewritten.
My tiger is from 2013 and I have gen4 modules with the following codes:
-5N0 959 701 F
-5N0 959 702 F
Thank you.
