I've been thinking about getting a MK3 Octavia (if the S-Max sells) but seeing this I think a MK2 Facelift will be just the ticket with a few choice retrofits

[Eddie-NL]

Small update, auto dimming wing mirror glass fitted

 

Normal

 

 

in Dimming mode

How does the mirror 'know' when to dim Eddie? Is it something to do with the new interior mirror?

There are 2x wires that come from the interior mirror that makes it dim

 

some of the wiring was there

 

From interior mirror to the door the wires were there. I had to add the wiring from there to the door controller and in the mirror

 

I added the wiring but had a duff mirror, so bought a pair and bingo

[zeffania]

Cracking job as always fella

[Wardy]

Just when you think Ed's run out of retrofits....

 

Great work!

For the fatigue you will have to get in touch with golfman

[marekczek]

can you send me contact for user golf? I want to buy Parking assitant version 2.0

Eddie, as a soon to be VRS MK2 owner, I may be attempting some of these mods.

You guys have done a fantastic job and have done things I would not have thought possible!

 

I can see how this can become very addictive .......... and expensive!!

 

Great Stuff

 

All the best

[marekczek]

HBA work with xenon and H1 light? you have only halogen lights.

[samuir1974]

Some great mods on there mate..... love it! 

[Wardy]

Mirror Lowering on Reverse also added

 

Has this been achieved without needing the usual electric seat option (and corresponding different controller) then Ed?

[Eddie-NL]

No memory seats

 

just a memory motor for the wing mirror and a max door controller

I watched some of your YouTube videos yesterday. Impressive stuff!

New Addition

I really missed have electric folding mirrors, so gave in and ordered some. Unfortunately I had to wait nearly a month for the Drivers side to come in to the dealer.

But now I have them fitted
