this can be turned off on mirror so peeps who have cupra,s just check mirrors and if theres a button on the mirror itself press and you might find you do actually have it.....when on ,in the dark you,ll get a faint green led light up on bottom edge of mirror.....when this is lit you will find the red glow from the underside of the mirror

the button is to turn the anti dazzle mirror on off, it is part of the convenience pack. the red led's come on (and stay on) when you ingition on, irrespective of lights on.

sounds nerdy to be honest but those that any packs at all and/or the feature would be handy to get a spec sticker copy if poss ?

saw this feature way back in 2003 Vx Vectra but confess it makes quite a subtle but useful gadget

was my first hope

at least the 'BM' trim code hilites satin black - Cupra

Is it too rude to ask where/how you decoded this cryptic information?

If so maybe you could tell me what a "1AT" DSG Gearbox decodes out as I could
not find it in EKTA and ELSA?

no worries at all - most one off i check in Elsa/Etka but there is a few online checkers that help on bulk stuff

http://igorweb.org/equidec/Default.aspx is pretty much kept up to date weekly to be honest and seems most accurate

1AT = Electronic stabilization program (ESP)

sorry i edited it rather than fresh post

for example above the 'main' spec is in the large bold (section 3)

BWJ = engine 241bhp 2.0tfsi
LB9A = Colour Candy White
BM = Trim Spec - Cupra


transmission info appears missing from standard location but i'll confess i haven't read these on a regular basis for a long time

G1A is listed as a PR code : 6-Speed automatic gearbox

must admit i thought the DSG also used dual clutch in the description but maybe wrong there

6speed dual clutch gearbox codes

HXT HQM JPP JPK KZC KCV KCW KMZ KMY KNC KPQ KPT KPV LQW LQZ

6speed automatic gearboxes
HTP HFT JUH KGK

parts systems can be a cruel mistress i can tell you

if previous UK spec is anything to go by i would guess that was meant to be Sports suspension

in fact looking back a few years it is indeed 'sports spec'

bear in mind PR codes can be model and year specific

Thanks a lot for info for my 2.0 TFSI FR DSG in Black Magic !!!!!

G63 is the suspension setup of course, I remember now, as I pointed out to the muppet let loose on my car to check the 4 wheel alignment at a tyre place.
I am still not confidant he did it "right".

Getting back on thread I am really intersted in this mirror, if only to find my ashtray in the pitch black of night, submarine night light stylee!!!
