"How To Get Power Folding Mirors for 2011 Audi S5"

White 2011 Audi S5 Front View

I want power folding side mirrors. I like this feature in my 2003 Audi S4. How do I go about getting them in my 2011 Audi S5? Can I just order 2008 S5 power mirror mechanisms, and have the dealer install it? I suppose I should just go speak with the dealer, but I was thinking that someone might know of an aftermarket means of obtaining this functionality.

Answer: I’m sure you’ve already browsed the web for parts and tuning aftermarket websites. It may be possible to “special order” the folding mirrors, since Audi still includes them on some models. “Why can’t they put them on your car?” It’s a great idea to check with your local Audi dealer, as the 2008 S5′s external mirror housings will be the closest match to the 2011, however, there will still be wiring work from the housing to the “button” that folds them, as well as into the car’s electrical system. I did a quick www.google.com search and only found A4 external housings, I know the “S” line has the off color housings, and I’m sure that with such a nice car you’d be apprehensive to have work done to it, but I agree, that feature is awesome. Good luck, if you do find out, please post back here as an update, I’m sure there may be other people who are curious.
