Audi Q5 Folding Mirror Retrofit with MMI Integration
Add greater convenience and protection to your vehicle with an Audi Q5 folding mirror retrofit. This complete upgrade replaces the existing exterior mirrors with compatible power-folding mirror assemblies and adds the required adjustment control to the driver’s door.
Once installed, the driver can fold or unfold both exterior mirrors using the mirror adjustment switch. Therefore, you can quickly reduce the vehicle’s width when parking in narrow garages, tight car parks or confined spaces.
In addition, the system can support automatic mirror folding when you lock the vehicle. You can enable or disable this function through the compatible Audi MMI system, giving you control over how the mirrors operate.
As a result, the retrofit adds practical everyday convenience while maintaining a clean, factory-style appearance and operation.
How It Works
The retrofit replaces the existing left and right exterior mirror assemblies with compatible power-folding units. The installer also fits the required adjustment switch and supporting components.
After installation and vehicle-specific setup, the driver can select the folding position through the mirror adjustment control on the driver’s door. The mirrors then fold inward electrically and return to their normal driving position when selected again.
