How to disable side mirrors' synchronization on VW Golf MK4?

[Jimmyl]

Anyone knows how to turn off the synchronized function of both wing mirrors? That is, when we put the joystick on R to adjust the right mirror, it could move the left mirror the same time. However, if we turn joystick on L, it only works for the left. What a silly design!

Thanks for for your advice!

Why not just set the right then set the left?

It's an intentional design to allow you to drop both mirrors quickly if you're performing a tight parking manoeuver.

I never knew that.. That's cool

I don't think they all do it.

I think it's only on cars with electric seats.

Comes as part of the driver assistance package on Passats so probably similar in other models and only the left mirror drops when reversing and not far enough to be much help anyway

I don't think the MK4 Golfs did the mirror dip when reverse is engaged.

I just bought one of these golfs today for as our "don't give a sh*t" car. I thought there was an electrical fault.

Umai Naa!! - Ours does't have electric seats but the mirrors are synchronised, very, very strange feature. Adjust right, then left.

I've been guilty of it as well.
