explorer, for your information, dm222 is LHD, ie mainland Europe - Portugal.
dm222, out of interest why do you want to be able to only use this function only now and again, I'd think that most people buying this "system" would be buying it to make the mirror folding automatic? I know that any time I want to fold the mirrors on my daughter's late 2009 Ibiza, I have taken the ignition key out of the switch - and then think - "oh bother!", having the HW1 version fitted I would not need to do anything. Remember, as already described, if you have HW1 fitted, and the "mirror fold" switch in the "fold" position, nothing will happen when you put the key in the ignition - I think.
Edit:- as far as I know, across the VW Group range of cars, the "mirror" switch on the driver's door only has a maximum of 4 positions, "top" position is either "OFF" if no heaters in mirrors, or "heaters on" if mirrors have heaters, "Right mirror control", "Left mirror control" and, if mirrors have a folding functionality, "bottom" position which is "fold mirror" - so requesting this extra functionality should end up being difficult to achieve without adding another small switch to that switch panel?
There are some models with 5 position mirror switch but in ibiza without hw modification there are max 4 positions and with 4 positions without additional switch or jumper it is possible disable controller only in fold position. It is usefull if during slow drive is needed to clode mirrors. My controller is enabled in position L, 0 ,R.
BUT it is possible deactivate controller by another way. If you open door with ignition on then turn ignition off with door opened mirrors keep unfolded.
