Has anyone fitted electric mirrors to a MK6 that did'nt have the wiring already there,easy enough job or dont bother?

go to the local scrappy, grab 2 looms out of a finesse or LX ( R plated upwards )

 

its the only way to add the electric mirrors with out major headaches. and on the plus side of that you can also add the dead locking and electric windows too if you grab the lock mech and motors aswell...

Thanx for the reply but why 2 looms

One loom for each door, my finesse did not have the plugs in the door loom for eletric mirrors, so took looms out a Si and swapped them over over

 

btw god idea to get new loom and plug everything in before you take the looms out like:

Do some cars have the loom already installed?

 

Mine is a 97 GTi with electric windows but no mirrors, would really like to retro fit the mirrors but I´m not much cop at electrical stuff :-(

 

Cheers

My '97 Calypso had the wiring there already, I think 9 times out of ten it's there!

I made a custom loom to add my mk6 heated mirrors to my mk5b but I wouldnt advise it unless your either very savvy with wiring or silly patient

So I assume its an easy swap for electric mirrors, just need the mirrors,mounts and interior plates with the wireing still attached?

 

I have some brand new M3 style electric mirrors that I will swap or sell to fund these, pics in the for sale section,

 

Cheers.

yeah very easy swap, just make sure you cable tie the wire up so it doesn't foul the window
