Would someone take a picture of your setup if your vehicle came from the factory with the auto dimming and home link. I am wanting to add the auto dim and home link to our car, but I am wanting it to look factory. I am just wondering what the difference in looks are?. I believe there is a factory black piece that fits over the wires.
View 5 RepliesProgramming the homelink feature? Apparently VW has issued an amendment to the manual for VINs greater than 11XXX. Unfortunately, mine is in the 5XXX range.
View 2 RepliesI just bought a 2004 Phaeton V8. So far, it's great.
But I'm having trouble with programming the Homelink garage door opener. The instructions in the manual are the same as other cars I've owned - hold down buttons 1 & 3 until the light blinks, then press the button you want to program while also using the remote you want the car to learn. But when I press 1 & 3, no light begins blinking - I can't even find the light on the panel!
Picked up my new T-Reg yesterday. V8, PPS, Winter, Park Assist, Rear Lock. White w/teak. Newer vehicle, VIN# 51XXX. You'll see the Conti's are gone now in favor of Pirelli Scorpion's. So far so good on the problems. I've discovered that HomeLink buttons 1 and 2 stick and won't come out after pressing and the carpeted cover beneath the driver's seat won't stay snapped shut - you can see a little crack.

View 6 RepliesI am in the midst of wiring up the Bold Sport kit that comes with the OEM mirror with build Rain/light sensor. It comes with a nicely made wiring harness with OEM terminals already installed. The kit can be found here for reference. [URL]
Right now I am following the directions from myturbodiesel.com [URL]
It instructs to add the power source to the fuse box. No problem. Says to add the RLS to fuse pin 17 and the Mirror power to pin 7.
Here is the diagram they show.
The problem is on my '13 Golf R, 17 is already taken. I can certainly add to a different pin on the same bus. So not really an issue there.
The other issue is that there is no power bus for pins 7-11 on my R. What gives? There is a power bus on pins 1-6 but they are all taken already.
I've recently noticed that my v's auto dimming rear view mirror has stopped working, or at least appears that way. I'm not sure if it's because of the tint because I have used my iPhones led to testing it by shining the light from inside of the vehicle but it still fails to dim.

View 9 RepliesAny opinions on adding an auto dimming mirror? I miss having homelink, and I miss having the auto dim feature. Are there even options out there? If there are- have any of you used them? Do you like it? Hate it? How hard is the install?
View 5 RepliesMy old flip style rear view mirror was getting a little bad looking on the bottom of the mirror, so I decided to go pick up an OEM auto-dimming one. I did not care for homelink as I have no need for it, nor do I need temp since thats on the car already, so I wasn't interested in a non oem mirror. Plus I like simplicity, so plug and play is always nice. I paid $70 for the mirror, you can expect to pay around that as well.
Anyways, from my understanding, our Camrys should come prewired for the auto-dimming mirror, or at least the sunroof equipped models should come prewired. The plug sits in the overhead console near the drivers side sunvisor taped down. It's just a little white plug with a black sheath around the wiring.
Tools Needed:
-Your hands
-A smallish hex key (I don't know the exact size) or a smallish torx screwdriver
From start to finish, this shouldn't take you longer than 10 minutes to do. Let me emphasize first that you should make sure you're prewired for the auto-dimming mirror before you go out and buy one unless you prefer to hardwire things, or return things.
Step 1: Check if you're prewired for the mirror. Start by pulling down the overhead console. Push on the sunglasses holder to drop it down, grab on with both hands, and pull down. Don't worry, you shouldn't break anything, but don't pull down insanely hard otherwise you may pull some wires out of the harness attached to it. Now check near the drivers side sunvisor and see if theres a plug taped down, if there is, fantastic!
Step 2: (if you're not prewired for the mirror, you can stop here).Push that plug through the hole near the windshield to get that out of the way. You can now put the overhead console back on.
Step 3: Behind your stock rearview mirror, theres a little screw holding it on. You'll need either a hex key, or a torx screwdriver to remove it (although you can probably use a flathead to get it out if you want). DONT LOSE THAT SCREW. Once you unscrew it, pull up on the mirror to get it to slide out of the little metal mount its sitting on.
Step 4: Now that the old mirror is out, get the new mirror. Get the plug you pushed out of the overhead console and plug it into the mirror. Now, slide the mirror back onto that metal mount and then screw it in.
Step 5: Turn your key on, or to acc, and the mirror should now turn on. Easiest way to tell is if the compass comes up.
Step 5.5: Admire your hard work and your fancy new mirror!
Any way to disable the auto-dimming of my dashboard due to lack of light? It seems like when I go into tunnels, the dashboard dims so much that all I can see are the needles.
I suppose I could also turn on the lights, but that seems like overkill.
Any solution for a auto dimming drivers side mirror ?
View 4 RepliesAs the title says, the auto-dimming mirrors are working intermittently, I'm assuming a problem with the sensor in the mirror it's self?
View 2 RepliesI have an 06 Treg with the heated and auto dimming mirrors. I have noticed that sometimes when you look in the mirror it gives a dual image of the cars behind you.
View 6 RepliesEver since I've owned my Phaeton there's been what looks like a crack in the passenger side wing mirror, when you get up close however you can see the glass is fine and it's something within the mirror itself. The 'crack' is dark blue with an orange outline which makes me think it's possibly auto-dimming fluid which has leaked out. I've had a look online and can't see anything to confirm whether the passenger mirror is auto dimming as per the other two.
