Thread: Mercedes A Class

Hi guys i have just retrofitted folding mirrors to an a class as well as bluetooth and ipod which are all relatively straight forward to do , only issue mirrors will not fold ! i have installed the new folding mirror switch and looking at the coding do i need to change both door modules or just scn them ?

You will need to code the door control modules, the front SAM if there is a setting in there, check to see if there is a setting in the EIS also to show the car has folding mirrors, and have to SCN code the cluster (having had the datacard updated) to get the extra menu in there for auto-folding.

If you have the red safety lamp in the door then you should also have the connections for folding mirrors.

There are two distinct types of door controller. One with and one without folding. The inclusion is entirely dependant on the existing specification.

You can also look in the door module to see if you have pins missing where the extra folding wires go.

BE sure that you have used the correct mirrors. There are 3 types of folding mirror for this car and some have totally different pin connections. You can very carefully change the plug housing from the new to the old mirror you removed.

Maybe you can advise us further in order for us to be sure where the problem is. Certainly the coding comes first. The door modules may even have folding codes when the pins are missing.

I dont think you can SCN a door module (may be wrong). From what I have seen, you have to code the door in developer mode only. One of the very few times where developer mode is actually needed.

ok guys i will update you on tuesday have a great xmas ! apreciate all your help !
