Does a UK spec GTI have auto dim wing mirrors?

No. There are no auto dim mirrors for the mk7 any where in the world. I'm hoping that the passat mirrors will be the same size as the mk7.

Mind you, a replacement heated auto dim, glass only mirror for current model Audi TT is £256.00..ouch !!!! Without dim option it's a cool £35.00

I wonder why they printed this in the manual then?:confused:
It would surely indicate that it's installed.......somewhere!

I'd like to know what the situation is with this. My Mk5 had anti dazzle on drivers side from factory, I retrofitted it on the Mk6 and I've yet to see anything for the Mk7 .....part numbers? Anyone with ETKA? A DIY perhaps?

One of the buyers of this mirror said "It's just a mirror with a blue plastic screen. It doesn't get dark as indicated."

It guess it makes sense because I don't see a light sensor which tells the side mirrors to dim.
Can't we tap into whatever the rear view mirror goes off of?

I guess that could be possible but you need to find a dimming side mirror glass that is compatible with DAP, heated and fits the MK7 Golf housing. The aliexpress link above doesn't seem to be.
