    You managed to get more information out of VW than me. I asked that very question and was told no addtional setup was possible!

    I'll use Vagcom to make the hill hold default to on instead

    Picked up my B7 2.0 TDI SE and the auto hill hold retains its last used mode i.e if you turn it on, it stays on at next restart.

    Now wanting to know how to get the passenger mirror to dip when reversing, and how to get the mirrors to fold when locking/unlocking the car. Haven't found anything yet.

    Unless you specified folding/dipping mirrors when you ordered the car, they don't! It's a factory order and the price of fitting them later is ludicrous (about £1,000)
    BTW, not sure what you mean about auto hold 'remembering' its last mode; mine always works

    I spec'd my SE with electric folding mirrors, and would like them to fold/open when locking/unlocking the car from the remote. This isn't rocket science since many other VAG modes can do this.

    Regarding Hill Hold, not all models retain the last mode of operation. Example, my Audi A5 didn't and would reset so you had to press the button everytime you started the car. My Passat does know you turned it on the last time you drove the car and remembers

    thanks

    AFAIK the mirrors will only fold when you use the interior switch. There's no facility for them to fold/unfold when locking/unlocking the car. As I said before there's no option to switch the system on/off.

    Hoping it it's possible via Vagcom as many functions can be enabled, and I'm sure the Passat CC has this feature as do the Skoda Superbs.

    Same for reverse dipping mirror, just need the adaptation codes. If the physical hardware isn't present then I'll admit defeat.

    Thanks

    Personally I'm glad my mirrors don't fold automatically when locking/unlocking as I have to stop in front of my garage, fold mirrors in (manually, unfortunately), then drive in to the garage. It's too tight a fit to drive into the garage with the mirrors unfolded, and if they unfolded when I unlocked when in the garage it I wouldn't be able to drive out of the garage.

    As has been mentioned, I changed my CC this week via VCDS to go into the instrument module and change the region to Rest of World from UK, and then you'll get the new option for the digital MPH on the display - by default my consumption read out changed so I just changed it back to MPG via the MFD
