Folding mirrors

[Oracle]

Tried a different module and no errors raised this time. All door functions work and mirrors fold with switch and when locking car. Only issue is that mirrors auto fold out approx 15 seconds after engine start.

Which ones are you using now?

Thats not an issue, thats how they're supposed to work.

Code P post 2012 module. Pretty sure it shouldn't be delayed,

Hi, I'm thinking of doing this mod. Could you give me the list of part numbers used and also the approximate cost of the complete mod? Thanks, Chris

Hi, parts listed are for facelift 2012> A4.
You obviously need new mirror bases (8K2 857 409 AJ and 8K2 857 410 AH - RHD only)
New mirror switch, didn’t note the part number.
New switch surround 8K2 867 172 E (black) and New optic 8T0 919 173 A
I reused my original glass but factory fit would use dimming glass. (Mirror bases have plug for dimming)
In all approx. £470 with switch and controllers from ebay.

Rebuilding the mirrors was fiddly as it takes a while to release all the clips without breaking them.
The only problem was the door controllers; I had to change mine as they weren’t highline. Highline support mirror fold but normal ones don’t. After some research I discovered there are many versions and many manufacturers of these controllers for an A4/A5. Pre 2012 controllers don’t work with Post 2012 cars it seems.
In my case I had Q controllers and I replaced them with P.
Coding was straight forward, initially they didn’t fold out straight away but after playing with the coding they now fold out as soon as ignition is started. Also passenger mirror dip now works properly as before it always raised back slightly too high.

Hi - I am a newbe nd hope I am in the correct forum area! Also I am not very technical .

I had an auto electrician specialising in Audi vehicles retro fit electric folding mirrors on my 2013 petrol Audi A4 allroad Quattro to replace existing electrically heated factory fitted mirrors so I could get the car in the garage without fouling the mirrors . Also I often have to use narrow country roads where the folding facility is very useful to me to give me more clearance from passing vehicles. My auto electrician was able to fit the mirrors and activate the folding feature with the fob when the vehicle is locked and open when the car is started. However he cannot activate either the manual override or the reverse tilt feature( I understand this is only available on some models). Do I have to replace the existing driver door control switch as well . The auto electrician does not think so or does not know. I saw a You Tube video when researching the topic and it shows the switch going from the 12 O clock position to the S6 O clock position Edith a light coming on just below the switch. My switch will not go beyond 1 O clock. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated to solve my problem .

You need the new switch, trim surround and fibre optic lighting ring for the switch to enable the folding-on-demand option.

Yes, new switch and surround. To enable mirror dip I setup the passenger door controller like so.

Hi Thanks for the information.

My local Audi are unable to find the part number for this driver door switch but are able to get the surround with the manual on demand symbol at the six o' clock position.

They had no new ideas other than agreeing that I needed a new switch which would turn to six 0' clock.

Does any one know the part number or where I might be able to source this switch. The Vehicle is an AUDI A$ all road quattro 2013 model
