Has anyone modied the door mirrors so they fold on look and unfold on unlock, dealer says function not available on A3 only A4 & A6.

 

How hard would it be to set up ????

[homeuse]

It is possible but not by parts normally from the A3 8P. I did not do myself but from the german forum some guys did it. Based on a other german forum:

it looks that if you can to a hifi installation yourself you also be able to put the mirrors.

Is it possible to retrofit the folding option then?

 

Take it I'd need some folding mirrors from an A3?

No, it was an option which wasnt ticked by Audi when they specced my car.

[mrAudi]

i thought it was a standard feature.......

[homeuse]

i thought it was a standard feature.......

also not like front parking sensors, rear camera, automatic lowering mirror in reverse, sunroof.......

[MacD]

looks like a big job to get all that fitted. 

[Penelope pit stop]

I find it really suprising that the wing mirrors aren't folding as standard on the RS3, though right now im grateful as probably be more pricey to get them re-fitted!

My friend who has a 08 jag with automatic mirrors couldnt beleive it. The next one surely has to come as standard.

[mrAudi]

might speak to my auto electrician......surely must just need the correct switch feed to the ignition.....in my case anyway

My RS4 had every option going and that was as standard!  Cabriolet's came with all the boxes ticked.

 

It's my biggest gripe with the RS3 that its so basic as standard for a high end model.

did anyone with the folding mirrors get this fold on lock and unfold on unlock working yet?

 

most importantly how much did it cost

[Vito]

There is a firm that will come out to your house and replace your mirrors with some folding ones, I know someone that did it, just need to dig it out.

[yuan2211]

vito I got the folding mirrors just I want them to fold when I lock and unfold when I unlock the car.

[Aircool2012]

I'd like that info please Vito!

[Vito]

Oh wright got you now!! Your best bet is talking to a auto-electrician.

[Vito]

I'd like that info please Vito!

Looking for it, it might be saved on my other pc, I'll let you know.

Have you looked if its listed in the settings on the dashboard computer (or what ever its called)

Vito the auto folding is not an option on the 3 series they only fold by the mirror switch on the drivers door ( if you have this feature, some don't )

You will need to have the mirrors wired to the ignition by a qualified auto electrician
