Hey guys,

Installing power folding mirrors on a 2018 Golf R, NA model with DAP. I've been told that while the mirrors have puddle lights in them, they will not be functional as the NA model does not have the wiring inside. Anyone have insight? Any snags to watch out for?

Where’d you hear that? Not true. You just need to code them as desired.

They're called Field Lights in OBDEleven. I have them coded and they work.

Heard it from another knowledgeable person. Will code and report back.


Coding I used on my 16 GTI w BSM

- Power Folding Mirrors:
42 Driver door and 52 passenger door - Byte 1, Bit 0 and Byte 4, Bit 4 + 6
09 - BCM
Access control 2-Funk Spiegelanklappen > not active > active
Access control 2-Funk Spiegelanklappung Modus > by convenience operation via remote control key > by look command via remote control key
Access control 2-Menuesteuerung Funk Spiegelanklappen > not active > active

- Passenger Mirror Dip
Access control 2-Spiegelabsenkung bei Rueckwaertsfahrt > not active > active
Access control 2-Menuesteuerung Spiegelabsenkung > not active > active (this puts the option in the menu screen)
Controller 52 passenger door -Got to 07 coding, go to byte 4 -Enable bits 1, 2, 3

Well I installed and coded these mirrors last night and things did not go well. Firstly, the passenger mirror dip does not work as per many of the instructions on this site. Secondly and most importantly, it seems as though my mirrors (5G2 857 part numbers, slightly different from the 5G1 part numbers everyone seems to be using) were designed for a RHD car. At the full extend of their adjustment, the mirrors are still not in the correct position from the LHD driver's seat. Interestingly though, when you adjust them for the passenger, they seem to work perfectly. After doing quite a bit of research I can't find anything that confirms whether or not these things were designed for a RHD car. Anyone have any input?

Also, puddle lights do not work after coding in 42. I'm getting an error message 31 which after looking online it seems as though the door module does not support the puddle lights.

Interesting...sorry to hear about your struggles.

Are you coding with Obdeleven or VCDS?

What isn’t working with the mirror dip? Not returning to position or...?

Did the housings come with the BSM mirror glass? Maybe it’s the shape of them being reversed (for RHD) that is making the driver side look off? Do you have those part numbers?

For reference, this is what I purchased from e-acca.com in spring of 2017.

5G1857508DE9B9 - right side/passenger mirror assembly
5G1857507CE9B9 - left side/driver mirror assembly
5G0959565AGICX - mirror switch
5G0857521M - aspherical BSM glass
5G0857522M - aspherical BSM glass
