Is it possible to activate an option in the new Octy2 to automatically turn in your mirrors, when you take the key out of the ignition ?

Something like Citroen C5. Or aren't the mirrors electric ?

they'll be electric to adjust and heat but i doubt they are electric folding ones :( they would make a song and dance about it if they were. shame, i really would like this

There is an option on the current VW Golf for electrically folding mirrors controlled by a button on the driver's door.

It would surprise me if it can't be done on the Octy but I would assume it's either factory fit or very expensive as it must require a second motor in each mirror.

I remember it being an option on one of teh cars i looked at when buying the octy, but can't remember if it was the octy. The skoda website is its usual useful self so doesn't list options.

I'm 98% certain electric folding mirrors aren't even an option on the Octy II - would have ordered them if they were

Thank you all for the answers.

I presumed they were not an option, because my Seat Leon MY2001 has them already. They are controlled by the mirror adjustment button.

They are not avaliable as an option, but they do come as std on the new Octy L&K< along with electric memory seats.

Superb in elegance trim has them, again controlled by the mirror adjustment switch unit.

Perhaps the motor unit, switch and wiring could be transposed over. :confused:

AHA. Had a Superb demo for a weekend, that must be where i remember the foldy mirrors from.

No they don't. I have just picked up my Octavia L&K, and although I was sure it did have electric fold-in mirrors (the web site says "Electrically adjustable folding door mirrors with memory system"), the dealer said "no". After re-reading that statement, I have to agree that the statement is correct; they are electrically adjustable, they do have a memory system, and they are folding, but I read the folding bit to mean electrically folding and not manual as they are.

Not std on L&K or even available as an option

No electric foldy mirrors available on the Octy at all, I would have certainly had them if they were.

The mirrors on the Octy II are the same as the 2005> VW Polo and they don't have them either.

The L&K has electric memory mirrors that revert to a pre set position when seat memory button is poked

MKIV Golf has them... switch is on the electric heated/adjust mirrors switch

It's the same reason the Octavia doesn't have damped grab handles and the bonnet lifters yet the VW equivalent does.

There has to be something to warrant paying 4 grand extra for the VW badge

Well, VW may not let Skoda have them but they certainly let Seat at the parts bin

My Mk II Leon FR has them, either fold using the mirror control or press and hold the lock button on the remote to fold them in, they then open with the ignition.

VW seem to let Skoda have some bits, Seat have others, but never everything. My 03 Toledo had damped grab handles, my new Leon doesn't, what a ridiculous thing! Equally the Toledo had a pneumatic bonnet lift which I thought was great, the Leon doesn't. It seems VW now have to go to great efforts to separate their supposedly 'cut above' product from the Seat/Skoda alternative, and having driven the Golf GT TDi before deciding on my Leon, they need to work a bit harder, there is no way it justifies its
