I'm planning my next project for the car. I think its going to be gloss black mirror caps, dynamic turn signals and power folding mirrors..


My question is does anyone know if I need a special kit for cars that have blind spot monitoring?

Yes, there are special housings required for BSM (extra connection to the mirror glass and to the door control modules).

Purchased these items from e-acca in Apr 2017. Decided to go with aspherical glass, but you could also just swap in your existing glass.

Does the right side mirror assembly include the motor that has mirror position memory?

Yes. Mirror dip memory was not functioning correctly until these mirrors were installed.

Cool, did you also upgrade your door modules to the ones that support memory?


Didn’t have to with mine (Canadian 16 GTI Autobahn). Has all the bells and whistles.

Thanks for that part list!

I saw that a user named sabo has some guide on the forums here, but realistically these are plug and play right?

I recommend following Sabo’s PDF and also reviewing the Shopdap YouTube video.

An extra set of hands is helpful, especially when disconnecting the door panels.

Use a string (long shoelace or..) and tie it to the wires as you pull them out. Then attach same string to new housing wires, and pull them through.

I tried installing the mirrors myself but wasn't able to get the plugs disconnected and so I put the door card back on. The airbag error light came on the next day. Any connection?
