Electric Mirrors off Keyfob

[Ro63rt]

Hi all,

Just seen a video on another T Forum on Facebook. For love nor money can’t remember which one it was or find the video again. But they’d just picked up a new T6 from the dealership & the electric Mirrors worked off the key. Anyone else seen it or heard of new vans coming like that....?

Yes, my 2017 does. I had to add the electric folding mirrors to the spec, but they work by holding your finger on the locking button of your remote for an extra couple of seconds. Same as closing the windows. (or opening if you wish by holding unlock)

Strangely my sales guy didn't know you could do this.

Yes, standard on MY2018 vans with power folding mirrors

Really? What year is yours?

67 plate

That's odd. Mine didn't work straight away for some reason, and took a few holds of the button before they started folding.

I dont see why @Olly hall , have you tried holding the lock button in a few extra seconds on locking ?

 

[Olly T6]

I'm gona try again right now lol be bk in 2 mins

Wrap up out there, it's chillllllly....

 

[Olly T6]

Nope! Vw a proper strange! Can open my electric sliding doors from my remote but can't fold them mirrors wtf, surely that shouldn't be a added extra? 1 thing I wish I added was auto latch tail gate always having to double close that thing!!

 

[Tourershine]

Does the mirror adjuster switch need to be in a certain position?

 

[Olly T6]

I've left it on the 0

I'm sure some wiz kid will pop along shortly and all will be revealed

 

[Olly T6]

Just worked out I can open close my windows but not the mirrors lol madness!!

 

[Tourershine]

If you can operate your sliders with the fob, does it look different to a standard key?

 

[StudleyGlass]

Just realised you have a MY17 like me, so your out of luck like i was. I had to fit the travelite kit to mine to make them auto fold on the key. The MY18 models have been updated some how to fold on the key.

 

[Olly T6]

Mystery solved lol

 

[Tourershine]

Wiz kid to the rescue
