I bought these: 73.3￡ |For Vw Multivan T5 T6 Electric Folding Mirror Rear View Mirror Fold Motor - Window Motors & Parts - AliExpress

Might be an EU thing but I had to order the left and right one separately. The total sum was over 150€ and somehow it was not at all ok from customs perspective according to the seller, in the end I gave in and ordered separately.

But seems @Robert has got you covered

To get power fold mirrors with fold on remote lock on T6 there are generally speaking two ways.

OPTION 1 (OEM)
Parts required:

- 2 off door control modules (7E0959801L & 7E0959802L)
- 5 off pre crimped wire 000979009E
- 1 off 7E1959565K mirror switch with folding

VCDS Coding:

After VCDS coding mirrors fold on remote lock but long press is required.
Unfold when ignition in switched ON.

OPTION 2 (aftermarket)
Parts required:
- 2 off power folding mirrors (7E2857508DG & 7E2857507DB)
or
- 2 off power folding motors only
- 1 off mirror folding control module(made in China, £5 on Ebay)
- 1 off pre crimped wire 000979009E to get signal form door mirror folding switch
- 1 off 7E1959565K mirror switch with folding

View attachment 30308

VCDS Coding:
None.
Cost:
Approximately £250 - £300
Functionality:
Mirrors fold when folding switch is in fold position and ignition is ON.
Mirrors fold on remote lock.
Mirrors unfold when unlocked or when ignition is switched ON(can be chosen by connecting or not unlocking signal).

Obviously I picked option 2 and used folding motors kit with LED blinkers.
Best functionality and best value for money.

Hi Robert, I'm a new T6 owner with a 2019 Startline with manual fold mirrors and wanting upgrade to power folding. The OEM part number for the mirror and switch are coming up as T5 not T6. On ebay T6 items have a different number.
Also when I look up the control modules it say they are electric window control modules. I already have electric windows do I need to replace the existing ones or will they work with the mirrors?
Thanks in advance for any help.
