Just installed my Homelink Mirror on my 2019 VW Arteon SEL Premium R-Line. Your DIY instructions were invaluable. Took me all of 10 minutes. Thank you!
Thanks for the video! A few questions: 1) Can this mirror be purchased in the US and installed on a Canadian version of the MK8 Golf R? 2) What is the tool that you used to remove the mirror housing? 3) Does anything in the car need to be recalibrated after the install (lane assist, front collision, etc.)?
i tried this last night and i have a few comments. getting the plastic cover to release is very tricky without breaking it as it is very thin. therefore be very careful. next, the release of the mirror and the plug is easy as it is shown here. but, the inserting of the new mirror is very difficult, not like it is shown here. you really have to stop and look for the way to align the new mirror prior to the insertion. be very careful, this could crack your window if not careful. it didn't happen to me, but i have read online where it has done that. Lastely, nothing is shown here on the setup of the compass. you need to have a paperclip and insert it into the hole beside the bluetooth button for 15 secs. then, you need to know the number for your area. once you know the number, repeatedly insert the paperclip until the number is showing on the screen. then, wait until the screen show C. then, go for a ride to a parking lot and drive in a circle at slow speed until the directions come up. hope this helps.
@@christopherhess7860 Chirstopher, if i remember correctly there are two clips. one on each side, in the middle. insert a hook tool and try to find them. i did break mine but was able to connect it back together. good luck!
Crazy, my GTI SE in the US comes with the home link mirror but the R didn’t in 🇨🇦? Wait, maybe that’s another dealer option I didn’t ask for that I wound up paying for anyways 🤔 😭

@erikthie2253 You just saying there's two clips just got me able to do it. It's installed and calibrated. If I could, I'd buy you a beer. Thanks.
Yea little piece broke on cover and idc but I tried for an hour I can’t out the mirror back
@badgeskins Where did you purchase it from?
What type of pry tool do you use in the first step?
Trop bien 😍😍
Does the Homelink mirror work with the FITCAMX dash cam?
Does this work with the s models?
Do you know if this fits the 2023 RS3?

Same bro 🥲
Canadian cars do not get the homelink mirror options and also can't even purchase them here either.
@@Badgeskins Man, that stinks! So strange how and why certain things are allowed in the different countries.
Great job, is it a vw home link mirror? if not who in the manufacturer? Thanks Albert
It is a oem homelink mirror
Can this fit Audi a5 2015?
Where can I get the Homelink mirror from?
