VW T6 Power Folding Mirrors Retrofit Boosts Security

If you’ve recently searched for VW T6 power folding mirrors, you’ve probably noticed the prices climbing faster than a squirrel up a bird feeder. This Transporter T6 came in for the full OEM-spec mirror retrofit—and despite the cost, wow, what a transformation. These mirrors now fold in and out smoothly using either the key remote or the interior mirror switch. Just like they should. No delays, no weird noises, no wobbles at motorway speeds. Properly coded, properly fitted, and behaving exactly like factory.

VW T6 Power Folding Mirrors – The OEM Upgrade That Just Works

This wasn’t a basic bolt-on. It was a full OEM-level retrofit using genuine VW motors and the correct door control modules. The mirrors were fully integrated into the van’s CAN system and coded using ODIS and VCP. That means no warning lights, no quirks—just clean, reliable folding every time.

Lock the van, and the mirrors fold in automatically. Unlock it, and they open smoothly. You can also control them manually using the mirror switch inside the cab.

✔️ Fold in and out using the remote or mirror switch
✔️ Matches factory operation exactly
✔️ Perfect for tight parking and improved security

Matched to Your Van’s Spec

To keep everything looking original, the mirror housings and glass were matched to the van’s build. Features like blind spot indicators and puddle lights were included where needed. These small touches make a big difference—and they’re what separate proper VAG retrofits from quick-fit jobs.

Why Folding Mirrors Are Worth It

Power folding mirrors aren’t just a luxury—they’re practical. Parking on a narrow street? Reversing into a tight garage? This upgrade keeps your mirrors safe and out of the way. Plus, the auto-unfold when you unlock the van adds a neat touch to every drive.

What’s Involved in the Retrofit

We take our time to get it right. The job involves removing the door cards, replacing mirror bases and motors, and fitting the correct modules. After that, we run diagnostics both before and after the install. Every mirror is tested for movement, stability, and alignment. No rattles, no errors—just smooth performance.

A Comfortable Wait

If you’re staying while we work, we’ve got you covered. Our customer lounge includes comfy seats, free hot drinks, Wi-Fi, and a smart TV. You can relax, work remotely, or even watch through our workshop viewing window. Most installs take 2–3 hours.
