Hi - First time VW owner '18 GTI SE DSG
Hi all - SF based and proud new owner of a '18 GTI SE DSG in night blue. My other car is '05 Evo MR and previously E36 M3. Living in the bay area, the DSG is nice for my left leg lol.
Has anyone successfully put on an auto-dimming after buying the car? I went to the dealer and they quoted a different part number than DAP. It feels like the number of cars with brights on has increased alot. https://www.shopdap.com/blog/post/ho...ion-guide.html It says VW has 3 year/36 roadside assistance, I don't see that information anywhere in the car...is that through this VW car net or something else? Thanks all, other than this infotainment issue, a good start in joining the VW community. |

Okay quick follow up on the dimming mirror, 000-072-548-B is the part number that the dealer and worldoemparts.com (not sure if this site is good or not) but DAP says 000-072-548-F is the correct part...figured I would try another dealer or two for confirmation, but seeing if anyone has had luck with DAP or worldoemparts on their accuracy. Thanks again.

Roadside assistance info should be with the owners manual... not related to Car-Net.

000-072-548-F is the correct part number for your 2018 SE

I’m actually MUCH happier having a non-auto dimming mirror on my S. I think my last four or so vehicles had auto dimming and none of them worked like I wanted.

Have you tinted the windows yet? It’ll help a lot. I was going to do the auto dim mirror until I tinted.

Anyways, i love this mirror. I bought it for the garage door opener function but the compass and auto dimming is very nice to have. Tinting alone will not eliminate oncoming bright lights. This solved the issue and it looks great.

The big difference used to be how they mounted to the windshield because they were different if you had rain sensing wipers or the camera on the windshield. So if you do NOT want Homelink, then you would NOT get the number ending in B. The B one is the one I got from my dealer when I DID want to add Homelink. The mirrors only contain the dimming feature, Homelink and Compass (depending which number you get). They contain nothing else related to any other systems. They were just different in the past because of the mounting differences.

I see in your signature you did 35% tint, did you do that all around or just the rear passenger and hatch window? I'm also in Norcal, have heard of some cops giving tickets for having driver/passenger window tinted past a certain %. |
