I have a two button Double Apex Garage Kit I’ve never installed.
You interested?
Actually, yes. I'd need the one with the Park Assist, is that the one you have?

Homelink mirror for a 2018 R w/DAP, this is the one I used to add it on.

Install is seriously easy, you'll likely break a clip on the trim as it's a bit awkward to get it apart and seems to be a common thing but it doesn't really have any negative effects (and replacement trim is cheap if you care).
My only tip was instead of using the mirror glass/body itself to twist the old off and new on, use a small adjustable wrench and grab onto the cast aluminum mounting arm. That way you won't put all the force through the ball joint. It takes little effort to turn though so not much fuss.

So it does fit the 2018 Golf R? I thought someone else said it didn't fit because the base was too small? Sorry for the confusion (it doesn't take much).
Yup, fits perfectly. There's a lot of mismatched info out there but if you have a 2018 Golf R with the driver assist options (standard in the US) then it works fine. Install time is less than 15 minutes and it works great.
It's worth knowing though that it only works with ignition on and the buttons do nothing otherwise. This is good for me because if I'm ever parked outside people can't break in and push the button to open garage door.
FWIW, I linked the same one, and it did't fit my '18 R.
Order it, and if it does't fit, return it.
What aspect didn't work for you?? I'm curious because I've read of people saying that but never seen detail of how or why
Is your park assist on the left or right side of your shifter?
The buttons for the Apex are on the right.
There is no park assist on the Apex bank.
Here’s what I have...
My Park Assist is on the right side of the shifter. So yours won't work unfortunately. Thanks anyway!

"F" is what should fit. Others have installed it w/o issue:

I know, I had referenced that thread when I ordered it from DAP. However, it definitely would not fit my car. Others seemed to have no problem, but I'm just sharing my experience
Maybe each part was on the tail end of tolerances, but there was physically no way the cover would snap back on to conceal the mirror arm.
On the plus side, DAP refunded my money, and I used the money for a RSB instead
