    Hi guys.

    I have The s3 8v saloon. My mirrors wont "flip in" when i lock the car. I have checked the settings in the car but nothing.
    So i guess the car is not equipped with that function.

    Can i activate it someway? Or do i need to buy new mirrors?

    Here is my car

    I just retrofitted the folding mirrors on my car, they are great but very expensive.

    You'll need:
    LHD mirrors (most you'll find are for RHD)
    Door handle plastic panel piece with folding switch.
    Door modules (you can also just solder in pins to your existing board to save about $100 USD.

    Then vcd coding and your set.
