    Someone smashed the drivers side folding mirror on my 2007 a5. I replaced it with a used one and the mirror adjustment works, but the folding doesn't operate.
    I'm wondering if it would need coding, an error cleared, or something, or if mine is so early that it's different to other B8 models?

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Could just be a damaged folding mechanism. Does the damaged one still try to fold if fitted - or is it beyond that? If it does work you may be able to transplant the relevant parts.

    Yes, the old one moves its 'stump'. I may try moving the working internals over, but it's a pain of a job. Might just switch off the auto-folding!
