Ryan_R: Really? That's never happened to me! My usual response has been the classic "have you tried switching it on and off again" Works 99.9% of the time! IT systems run best when there are no users!!

Every company has 1 or 2 of those special users. If I wasn't in IT I might even be considered one of those users too. The worst case is when the same problem pops up again for that one user a week after re-imaging their PC. It's obvious that something they are doing is causing the problem but it can take a lot of time to work out what (depending on the nature of the issue).

'Off and on' again often works (a lot of important stuff happens during boot-up) - we hate suggesting it but the alternatives can be very technical or time consuming (especially if providing remote support), so why wouldn't you try it?

My golf will be my first new car, the whole programming and messing with the computer thing does worry me a little, but some of the features like the mirror dip is something I'd really like on mine Is there anyone or any place that could do a couple of these programs for me once I take delivery of the car?

Kesh: "The mirror dip " (when backing) doesn't need any special programming device. The function is already native in the car when new (assuming that you have purchased at least a comfortline). The process for enabling "mirror dip" is described in the manual. If you can't figure it out, give me a shout (or I'm sure others on here will be willing to assist you).

Hey mate, I've bought the 90tsi dsg actually, so I don't believe I'll have it as standard, is that right?

As far as I know, The trendlind does not come with the mirror dipping

wasabiz: Yes, you are correct (according to the VW Golf brochure). The entry in the brochure on the specification table (page 35) doesn't even allow mirror-dip as an option for 90TSI.

Do any of the more experienced VCDS guys on VWW know if it's just a matter of replicating the byte/bit entries (for a Highline/Comfortline) on the passenger door controller, or is additional hardware needed? If it's just a tweak, the set-up for mirror dip on my car is below:
