Foldy mirrors? Opinions!!

[super cupra R]

My MY03 210 LCR has teardrop shaped foldy (or used to fold) non heated mirrors
I bought the car from new and this was a standard fit, not an option

Are you sure there non heated as both my leons had heated mirrors, maybe the connection has come off or broken, i would look into this.

My early MY03 Cupras has the square shape mirrors which were mirrors when taken with the electric leather seats.

04 tdi cupra -
heated => yes
foldy = no

does anybody know if you can make them foldy?

seems the same as the last few times its been discussed, in that nobody including Seat themselves know why some have foldy mirrors and some dont. Mine are heated and electric but dont fold (04LC). Wonder if there is an option on Vagcom to turn them on or off?

Really strange why some do and some dont!!

My 54 plate LCR has heated folding mirrors and they are great in the winter and I usually leave them folded in to stop the trend in my area of smashing them off....!

Its pretty simple, if you opted for the leather electric seats like I did with my cupra you got the heated and folding mirrors with that option.
Early Sport models had this standard.
So basically if you have a cupra (not an R) with cloth seats 2001- its unlikely to have electric folding mirrors.

Did you ever find out if they could be made foldy using vag-com or the like? as would like to do mine, but no loss if not possible.

You can't make them foldy with vagcom, there isn't a motor to move them.

My X reg leon 20v 1.8t has folding heated mirrors too

same

 

[rhumber]

My 02 MY02 Leon Cupra (pre-face lift) has leather seats and foldy mirrors too

 

[oldman]

You can't make them foldy with vagcom, there isn't a motor to move them.

so if i got the required motor and cables and switch and other required components, (god it's hard asking a question sometimes), would vag-com be able to help in allowing this feature to be used or will the above for mentioned items be sufficient to make this possible?

I can't see that you'd need VAG-COM in that situation - I'd imagine it's a fairly basic electrical circuit for it to work

Have a 03 LCR with teardrop heated folding mirrors. They only heat when you turn heated rear screen on. I also got a heated discussion with GF over who's driving. I did not pay for that. It came free but I am still paying for it. ha ha

Mine is an 01 LC and thats got foldy mirrors, controlled by the small switch on the drivers door. Don't think they're heated tho, but not had any ice on them to tell properly yet.

 

[Amr]

mine is a 1.6 01 and have a foldy mirrors,

umm, at last one advantage over a cupra...

 

[mad-for-tar]

05 FR TDi, leccy leather seats, heated foldy leccy mirrors and lots more!

04 LCR - electric folding mirrors but I'm pretty sure they're not heated...although I could be wrong...
