VW should have included auto dimming mirrors with the autobahn trim level. I mean I spent over 30k on the car and they didn't bother to add something as simple as this at the factory.
hackneo64 same with my SE
That is fantastic. Seriously Paul... after I found your channel I've loved owning my GTI even more. I try to buy all parts and maintenance stuff from your site because your company has greatly improved my ownership experience. I started working on cars with an old VW Beetle which I still love to do... these videos make my new car the same. I hate paying a mechanic to do something I can do myself.
Thank you so much for the purchases and support. I really appreciate them very much!
Couple tips for those of you doing this on a car with Rain sensor and sun roof.
-be careful taking the trim off around the rain sensor, it requires some patience. (the rain sensor does not come off the windshield and I just left it connected
- pulling off the trim around the overhead console carefully is important and key to getting the other existing trim pieces off
-the A-pillar trip piece doesn't come off as easy and the spring clips that hold it in will likely need to be replaced. (on mine there was a tab that prevented then from coming completely out and I had to almost destroy then to get then out). I was able to save 2 of the three clips, so the car is together until I can order a couple clips. I'm guessing they are very inexpensive parts.
-when you install the wire for the mirror make sure you don't put the tie wrap around the drain hose for the sunroof
- though it doesn't look the same as in the video the existing mirror twist off counter- clockwise just like the one without rain sensing. Be careful not to just twist the mirror and try grabbing the base firmly.
- when you put the trim on around the mirror after the install, put the lower pieces on first then slide the upper console piece in
-the wiring was just as in the video and it was very simple.
-it took me a couple hours, being really careful and taking my time..
Good luck
PS- the mirror looks great, the compass is cool and the homelink programmed so easily I almost didn't believe it
So if you have rain sensor, you still need to run the A-pillar wiring? I see some wire back there behind my mirror so I was wondering if it's pre-wired. I don't have the blind-spot monitor. 2016 Autobahn pkg. Thanks
Yes, unfortunately this one does not tap into the rain sensor wiring, you still need to run the wiring for the mirror.
Finally pulled the trigger on this mirror for my MK7 GTI (from DAP of course 😉) ...worth every penny! Seems like everyone rides with their highbeams on in my area. This mirror helps tremendously! Great install vid too 👍
Paul and everyone at DAP are *chris traeger voice* literally the best!
Just installed today. Yes, getting the A pillar off was really difficult. The rest was easy. Really great installation video. Thank you!
Everything I get from Shopdap just plain works
update: Removing the A-pillar suuuucked
I really appreciate this video. Although it was an easy install, I couldn't have done it without this. It made me feel good once I got it installed, and it worked.
I successfully installed this mirror on a MK6 Jetta TDI. This applies to all TDI's, from 2011-2015. Mine had no rain sensor, so I utilized the appropriate one. I thought about replacing the windshield, but chose not to, maybe something to do at a later date. The connectors that come with this kit won't work since the TDI uses the Euroswitch connector. (which is a good thing cause you can upgrade that with a european version that gives you fogs. Anyways, the two wires that go to mirror is yellow with a black tracer which is connected to switched +12 volts and the brown wire which you will tie to ground. I tapped off the wires on the lightswitch, using the Xz which is pin 1, and the 31 which is directly across from pin1 and has a brown wire going to it. I guess brown mean ground. I followed these instructions on pretty much everything else, but I did have to trim the cover just a tad to allow it fit between the mirror mount and the headliner. Works perfect and looks much better than the flip style that came with the car. Wouldn't be too hard for an after market seller to modify these to work in the Mk6. hint hint hint.
Great video. I did similar on MY17 MK7 R last fall. Bought 2016 Passat frameless mirror, and was plug and play in my car (no wires needed). Only thing that didn't fit was MY17 wire trim plastic. Tried 2016 version trim, no go either. Somehow using both, managed to get the trim stuck in place, but with a gap on where upper and lower pieces meet. Not fit and finish, but mirror works, and rain sensors still do also. (My car is not equipped with DAP fyi) love the frameless look!
ADD TO CART
I have a question though, how different is the installation if you have rain sensing wipers?
@deutscheautoparts loved this comment but didn't answer? I have a mk7 golf R with rain sensing wipers and a front camera for auto highbeams/lane assist etc.
I'm kinda late to the party, but as I just did this upgrade on my 2019 GTI that has rain sensing wipers, I figure I can at least help others who stumble on this video. The rain sensor is directly behind the mirror mounting point on the window, and there's a different-looking attachment to that mounting point that only takes an eighth of a turn to tighten/loosen. Your car already has plastic coverings (two pieces) to hide the rain sensor's wiring, which you'll also use for the mirror's wiring. You'll need to remove the bottom plastic piece by loosening the two tabs on each side that lock with the top piece (I found it helpful to push in the sides of the top piece and to push a pry tool down into the gap), then sliding the bottom piece straight down (there's a channel on each side of the mirror-side attachment point for guiding the bottom piece's movement; see your new mirror to help you figure out the angle). The top piece won't come out until you twist the mirror out. Other than that, at least for GTIs, everything's the same!
Best video on the subject. Very clear. Thanks so much! Bummer the Passat doesn't offer homelink mirrors anymore. Odd. I got one for $200, though. Dealer would have more than doubled that cost for installation!
Advice to people doing this. My a piller on my 2016 did not pop off so easy. I had Christmas tree Clips to deal with both on the removal and replacing. My headliner was super tight to the roof and not nearly as easy to fish the wires across as this one. Be prepared to be frustrated. Also the last trim cover he installed on his s does allow wires to be shown. You may need to purchase a new trim plate to make it look fitted.
Did you have any tips for the Christmas tree clips? I can't seem to find a technique that works for me.
is this a pillar removal process the same on 2019 facelift models? i tried for a couple hours to remove mine, but i couldn't get them out....they seem to be attached in the base under the dash.
Was about to order my mirror from elsewhere, after finding this video I just placed the order from shopDAP.
Man, I wish when I broke my windshield with rain sensor that I requested a non rain sensor windshield because it is so much easier to deal with. I don't even need or ever use the rain sensing feature. This looked so easy to install.
It appears that you either had that A pillar trim removed before or the clips are of the wrong kind. The first two clips in the pillar cover are the lock kinds which prevent the pillar cover from flying off should the airbags deploy. Same lock clips also prevent you from pulling the cover off in the fashion depicted in the video.
Excellent video Paul. You are the VW GTI Master. Looking forward to purchasing more parts and videos😀
Great video Paul as always, hey will you be doing a coolant flush anything soon?
Yes we plan to work on that in the future
You have very nice and helpful studies. Thank you for sharing these with us. You also want to share the installation of the rear view camera. The emblem camera will be very useful for us
Love the videos, I just got a new 2017 GTI! I was wondering if you could do a video on hard-wiring a radar detector? I know it's a bit simpler but I'm sure plenty would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Thanks for the great product. For other people considering this.
Trim may vary. Wife's jetta did not have a trim piece on the light switch. So having slack in the harness is not going to work.
Removing the visor clip helped tucking wires.
Removal of the A pillar will not be this easy. It requires some fenagling and possibly new hardware. It will slightly pop out to make things easier.
I know its not recommended, but I do not see how tucking the wires without zip tying will interfere with the airbag. Even if the wires are the way, when the bag deploys a measly little wire aint going to stop it. The wire is the least of you problem when that moment comes.
To test the auto dim, I had to turn the garage lights off.
It would be nice if VW put a USB port in the mirror so you can run a dash cam or radar detector .
This is genius. That would’ve been awesome if they did that.
Great video. Installed today. Does anyone know if there's a way to code the car using VCDS to keep power to the mirror for 30seconds after the ignition is turned off? As it is now, I have to remember to close the garage door before turning off the car because the mirror goes dead with the ignition.
This is great but what really kills me in night traffic is the SIDE view mirrors. Is there any way to install aftermarket side view and do you / VW have a kit for that? I have heated mirrors on my mk 6 and I'm out of warranty so happy to play around with this...if you need a guinea pig.
Saves me alot of headache. Thanks and ship me my mirrors!!!!!!!!!!!
Any idea on how to do the remove the version with the big square panel with rain sensors
Hi Paul I have a 2017 Golf R w/ DCC & NAV is homelink available with the cardinal directions? I already have a frameless auto dimming. I can’t find an option. Thank you!
Is it the same process for the Mk7.5?
The auto dimming feature does not go right to the edge. At night I get blinded by the edge. That not dim. Is there a something I can put over to fill the gap.
Is this fit to mk7 golf 2.0 TDI wagon low variant model? But i have a rain sensing sensor. How can i order with rain sensing?
Dimming is must have
Nice. I hate that my GTI doesn't come with HomeLink and auto dim, features my previous car have had for at least 10 years. This is for sure in my wish list now.
when are we getting mk7.5 tails???
Yeah! I'm waiting as well...
Please do you have a link for the power supply wire?? i have the mirror put unplugged so i need this wire to make anti dazzle works
Is there an installation video with the rain sensing and sunroof? Other comments show the sunroof can add an extra challenge. I just bought a 17 GTI a couple weeks ago and am very green in terms of modding.
Hello how are you? Do you have a video how to do this harness please??? Or a website to buy them... Thank you very much!!! Regards Igor.
Does the homelink mirror swap into the mk7.5 as well?
Could you help please, I have VW Tiguan 2018 US version snd I have the mirror, I need the harness please. Thanks
Will you post how to remove and install on a GOlf R with rain sensor and forward camera ?
The process is the same, the mount is different though for the rain sensor. You just have to buy the mirror that has the camera in it.
Is there a homelink mirror solution for MK7 Golf R with Rain Sensor, ACC & DCC? Can you purchase the harness separately as it looks like a good solution to wiring a salvaged homelink visor unit into the headliner?
Will the install be much different for the one with rain sensing wipers and blind spot monitoring? How does the DAP work with the rear view mirror?
Hı ı really like your video. I have 2019 Seat İbiza. Can ı use this miror kit on my car ? If ı do which kit is usitable for my car. thanks.
Hi, I have 2018 VW Tiguan and I need to upgrade my mirror, Where can I get wire harness to connect it. Thanks
Any tips on how to instail the last plastic for the mirror ive tried putting it and it doesnt clip at all idk if maybe i got a defective clip but it dont clip at all
I've read that there are 3 models. Apparently the 2017 with the rain sensor uses a different model than the 2015/2016 with the rain sensing system. This is supposed to be the one for 2017 with rain sensing: 000072548F. Any comment DAP? Do you sell this mirror?
So I have a brand new 2017 GTI Autobahn but without that one weird package that has auto park and stuff. if I were to install this for my car do I need to wire it like that?
You need to get the "F" and you still have to wire it like this
Hi, I have a 16 Golf R, which version should I buy? I currently have the rectangular rear view mirror with the manual electric dimming feature.
Thanks!
My GTI already has the auto dim mirror but I want the homelink connectivity. Will I still need to run the harness or change it in any way?
Any ideas Paul? I'd like to buy one. Thanks!
i was looking for a product like this , is tjis compatible with the mk5 . as i saw , the electrical stuff of the csr of the ideo coild be the same with my car . hope to have your response video hero.
Is the source power switched? If not are there wires I can tap into easily?
I think it is completely ignorant that OEM Homelink are always on. That is like basically leaving a key under the doormat if you park your car outside.
All my afterthought Homelink installs are switched power.
To those are wondering, the Homelink is only powered when the car is on. Finally someone thought this out.
Please help me with a part number (vw homelink mirror) for a VW Cross Touran year 2015 -with rain.
senzor.Thanks
I am thinking of adding this to my 2019 Tiguan and agree over 30k on a car no auto dimming...
Do you know if this will still work (plug and play) if I have the auto headlight conversion kit installed in the car?
I thought that was standard on all mk7 - I guess it's country dependent
Can I put this on my MK6 Facelift Jetta? Is it the same item showed in the video?
Can this same "factory" upgrade be done to a MKV Jetta? without rain sensor ?
works with VW Polo GTI 2018 AW ❤️👀
can one just order that wiring harness? if so link?
Any info on fitment into a 2014 Sportwagen?
Will this still work when you have a piggyback auto unit on the light switch?
is it compatible with the golf 2019?
awesome, i been wanting this for sure. does it have the garage door opener?
Yup
i love this one. ill do it soon.
I have rain sensors on my GTI SE. Do I still need to run that wire?
Can i install this mirror on 2017 corolla?
Part number for e-Golf? 2016 SE?
Can I fitting this to Octavia Mk3 2017 ?
What about the 2014 beetle??? Is there any version for it??? I love this feature
+1 - my daughter wants something like this for her 2015 Beetle Convertible.
Is there a frame less dimming mirror that could work in a 2009 cc?
What is the homelink version on this enhanced rearview mirror?
For a MK7 R with rain sensor, would we still need to run the harness? I've been down that route once already to mount my dashcam, and would prefer not to deal w/ the Xmas-tree clips near the airbag again!
I have an 2017 R and will be doing the install this weekend of the rain sensor W/DAP version. It comes with the same type of harness shown in this video so it seems likely. Part Number: 000-072-548-F
What did you find out?
Update - The auto dimming headlights/brights is controlled by the lane assist camera so that should not be an issue, I found that information in my owners manual, I had initially thought it was part of the mirror.
-
I completed the install without issue and posted a couple videos on my channel, the mirror I ordered fit perfectly and I was able to use the existing wiring harness. Rain sensor, auto dimming mirror and automatic headlights are fine but I have not yet tested the headlight feature that will turn the brights on and off when there are oncoming cars. And the HomeLink is great!
I have a 2019 S model which mirror do I need to order?
This is a great video and channel! Anybody know of an auto dimming mirror with home link install video for golfs with auto sensing wipers?
I’m not usually one to do things to my car (2016 golf tsi se) but I don’t want to pay Almost $300 to have the dealer install it. Any help is appreciated!
Hey, thats a cool Video with a cool mod... Would you reckon that the mirror could also fit a MK6 Golf (or even a MK5)?
Easy to modify to add to any Mk6.
@@richardhill9294 Is it requires wiring modification or something else?
Hi Paul. Could you please confirm 000-072-548-C will work with 2016 Golf R with Rain Sensor and DAP？ Thank you.
Nope. If you have DAP and Rain Sensor you need this one shopdap.com/store/catalog/product/view/id/603829/s/000072548f-autodimming-home-link-mirror-mk7-dap-rainsens/
Will this mirror kit work on a 2012 Tiguan ??
Pretty neat
Does anyone know if there's anything like this for the Mk6 Jetta?
Eric Pettersen it fits on the mk6 Jetta.
So, what exactly is a meer?
How I can buy the mirror! I live in Sweden!
Make this for other models?
Why is ur steering wheel shiny?
Would this work with vw jetta mk6.5?
Has any one try to install this or knows if this compatible with a 2013 MK6 Golf?
Will this fit mk6 jetta gli
Please Paul! I want this! But who! I live in Sweden!
Can the compass be turned off?
Just installed mine. Does not appear to be switched.
Has anyone tried this on a 2019 GTI SE?
I would rather disconnect the battery terminals to avoid a possible short-circuit but then I'm a super paranoid person so ymmv.
Hi can you do this with a base mk6 GTI?
Dibyojyoti Mukherjee You should be able to with all/most VW/Audi vehicles made after 2007
Dibyojyoti Mukherjee yes
