Hello,
Long time troll, first time poster.
I recently purchased a 2015 GTI S 6MT and a VCDS Micro-CAN cable. One of the things I really wanted to modify was the mirror dipping on reverse.
I thought I would share my experience.
Like I said I did this on a US-spec GTI S 6MT and it works albeit not like it would if you had a memory module. Here is what I did...

Passenger mirror dip…mirror switch has to be on the passenger setting for it to work.
52 Passenger door
07 coding
Byte 4
Enable bit 2 and 3.
DO NOT enable bit 1 unless you have Memory Seats. Enabling this will cause the mod not to work if you do not have Memory Seat or a Memory module.
No need to enable bit 7.

17-Access control 2 Spiegelabsenkung bei Rueckwaertsfahrt (change to “active”)
THEN
(22) Access control 2-Menuesteuerung Spiegelabsenkung (change to “active”) this puts
the option in the menu screen.
This lowers (dips) the passenger side (right) mirror when 2 conditions are met: Mirror adjust knob set to "R" and you put the car in reverse. The amount that the mirror lowers is a set amount and I do not believe it can be adjusted. When you come out of reverse or set the mirror adjust knob to "0" the mirror returns to its original position. It raises a set amount the same amount that it lowered.
Again this was done with all stock components; only thing changed was with VCDS.
I did the same coding a few days ago and it works perfectly, I have the habit of moving the knob to 0 anyways on my other car because sometimes I don't want the mirror to move at all while reversing. Also you have to remember to enable this function using the menu in the headunit, I totally forgot about this for a few minutes, the coding will add this option on your car set up screen
