Thanks for the video. For my A6 C7 2013 had to buy new actuator from Audi. Right flap was totally twisted/broken. Whole unit code 4G0857042D. I as told that this is 2015 model and the only available for my car. Car system did not find the actuator motors so in VCDS I did: 28-HVAC , Rear ---> Basic settings - 04 ---> choose from drop list: IDE01549-Automatic addressing LIN 1 ---> Go! After that the originally mentioned IDE1546-Adapt door end step did work out. Without that address operation I got malfuction error message from VCDS.

You mention about two different connectors sold under the same part number. How do you specify the correct connectors when ordering the new part to get the correct one for your car? From what I see on any of the Audi sites you don't get to choose a particular connector. Also the part is up to a revision "D" now so perhaps they have made some improvements, so the same issue does not keep happening!

Great overview. I've figured out the same reason that all non-original heating mats have resistance 14.5 Ohms, where original one have 4.5 Ohms. I have similar mirror to yours but in A4 B8 FL (2014) but I didn't find any mat with resistance 4.5 Ohms. I bought universal heating mat where resistance is 14.5 Ohms. Result? No error in VCDS but it's heating much more slower than original one. Where did you order your custom heating mat?

I did explained the whole story here in comments.. I'm a owner of an A6 4G that had problems with heating pad in the past. Figured out there is no solution for this kind of issue except pay full price (almost 600eur now for heated autodimmed glass). Wasn't happy about that at all so created a solution. This was very very time consuming and also bit pricy because they also had to produce some amount of theese pads especially for me so the manufacturing process will make sence (economically). So I designed, communicated, paid, waited, tested, etc.. almost all is gone now, my investment paid back but i'm not making any profits on it. I do not care/mind. I just wanted to fix my own issue in the first place. Now with an EU tax/duty regulation for chinease goods, it make almost no sence to me. Last time I ordered a batch of 20 pieces and it took almost a year to sell it all to have the money back.. Its very seasonal, nobody cares that heating is not working in summer.. Maybe someone smarter, bussiness orientated and mostly someone with the drive and time would be able to do bussiness with it.. but it wont be me..

Thank you.. it was challenging because this isn't my area at all.. Just to make the video, comment it and cut it is very time consuming. To answer your initial question. It's custom made espacially for me. I've contacted several Chinease factories that I hardly found on Internet and told them what I wanted. And I just needed one piece of this pad for my own broked A6 C7 side mirror. Nobody is interested to produce it in such a small numbers product that doesn't exist on the market. Every single factory wanted an order 5000-10000$+ just to talk to you. Payment in advance.. Found a one and we agreed on 5 pairs, 10 pieces.. Created a layout in Adobe Illustrator, exchanged like 50 emails about multiple issues (cuts offs, connector types, soldering, protection etc). Diffucult from EU do deal with China. Figured out, that ristricted use of Internet in there.. simply, another world.. This all took like 6 weeks altogether. After one year I had sell all remaining 9 pieces (mostly in Czech and Slovak Audi community). All my initial investement had returned back to me with 0 profit :) but that wasn't a goal for me .. I just wanted to have it fix. It's fixed, working for almost a one year now .. cost me 30EUR (after one year :)))

Hi, This is bit tricky but easiest way (without dissassembly) would be this: At night, start the car. Take you mobile phone and turn on the flashlight. Do flash the light into internal back mirror, into the photo-resistor located on the bottom edge. You will shortly see that your outside mirrors will get total black (despite there is night outside) Unfortunately, if it doesn't work you don't know whre the problem is. Can be the internal mirror, can be some wiring, can be the outside side mirrors, fuse, etc But give it a try The other way is to dissasembly the mirror, use two cable and connect to the 1.5V AA battery. You will see that it will go dark in a while

Hi! Having the problem on my a6… do you have some pads left for now?
Yes I do.. please drop me an email to [email protected] .. No problem to send it to EU
Done. Have you received one?
Oh man! Great work. do you happen to have any pads left? Any chance you would be willing to ship to the US.
Drop me an email to name.surnameATgmail.com and we can discuss it later.. I still have last pieces left
Hey, do you still have those heating pads available?
Yes I do.. drop me an email to name.surname at gmail
Where did you purchase your parts from
As I wrote in previous comments, I get mine here on local wrack-yard for a very reasonable amount.
ahoj, mohol by som ta nejak kontaktovat? dakujem
skus meno.priezvisko at gmail :)
Hello, this is what I was thinking to do for myself... Is it still working? Maybe you know the copper (if it is copper) trace width and thickness? Can you share Gerber (or other) files? Thank you!
Thank u so much! I had only the air issue cuz of the gate was broken and blocked the air.. i just removed the gate so now its also cold in the backside 😁 but this was a very helpful video!
Where did you get the new air duct with actuator motors
It comes from wrecked A6 .. local garage nearby. I'm not sure from what country are you, you might check the Allegro.pl or some other second hand dealers
@@mirinonr okay thank very much, excellent video.
Hello ! I got problem my heating mirror dont working switch is in the middle but on "Energy Consumptions" screen showing nothing like on off possition ????
Thank you for this video! Gave me the confidence to replace mine tonight.
Hi, i buy one piece from ebay (i'm ''gavroche83''), today i mount this pad, fits perfectly, your presentation was accurate. I just hope it doesn't come off for a long time or in contact with water. Best regards from Romania,thank you!
Man, you took your time :) Winter is half over! Mounting should be fine. I did mine one 1.5 year ago and no problem so far.. enjoy
Do you have the link from ebay of the exact pad ? Thanks!
@@sshpaga3612 Man, please read the description and mabye few comments. There is NO link .. this product doesn't exist, it was a custom order from the scratch. All pieces are gone, will not manufacture more.. sorry.. As I said, i had left the video online because it might be helpfull to at least diagnose what is wrong. Thank you for understanding
@@mirinonr i know, I've readed already...that's why i was asking Gmstudio Galati
@@mirinonr also i have checked on mine and I'm only receiving like 4-6 v power into the mirror...the heating pads are 4-5ohms...so i don't know what to check...i think I'll open the the door to see the and check on there the power. Thanks for the video very helpful!
One more thing. What keeps together plastic, heating pad and the glass (mirror)?
All VAG mirrors of this type have a double-sided adhesive mat. When repairing, this can be replaced/retrofit with several strips of double-sided tape (Tessa, 3M etc.)
Hi Do you still have one heating element for driver side?
Wtf 490e ?? In Serbia, Audi Manik diler Čačak, original heated/autodimmed brend new mirror cost 81e with hands. Today i bought mine, cheers!
Yes, that's correct. I've got the email offer from the official dealer and also search for it online. Cheapest (new) one starts at 400eur.. Are u absolutely sure that is autodimmed version? Because there is the one without it that cost ca 80-90eur by dealer. Can you look at the part number directly on the mirror? PS: Do you think I would put that many effort into all this if the price wouldn't be like I'm saying? :)
@@mirinonr This morning I checked the model on my car. According to your instructions - I removed the damaged mirror only with my fingers, thanks for that! Then I called an Audi dealer and ordered a new mirror according to my chassis number, it is a model with self-dimming, same as yours! The price is 8.184rsd ( 70e ) netto + 11e for hands...Total 81e with VAT, maybe the price is like that in Serbia, because the standard is low here... Cheers and happy holidays !
@@mirinonr My mistake, I checked again today, is not dimmable... Audi seems to be keeping quiet about having a problem with the mirror glue on it's vehicles... pity for such a brand...
So no one is making this replacement heating pad anymore? If someone finds out where you can buy one please reply on this video. Nice video!Thanks
Would you recommend replacing the entire duct unit or can you replace individual motors too? Both seem to be for sale online, though the whole unit is more more rare and much more expensive.
Hello, if you only have a faulty actuator, replace part only. As you could see in my video, I also noticed some flap damage inside the duct. So, without that damage, I would also only change the actuator. In my case, I found a whole duct (with booth working actuators) from some wrecked A6 for few euros, no brainer.
@@mirinonr Makes sense. I assume these motors just fit left or right? No need to buy them specific for each side?
@@sinoperture From what I recall, it was the same P/N. Replace it and try.. PS: I did the flap alignment using VCDS after the replacement
@@mirinonr OK parts arrived.... time to put them in. Then need to find a mate with VCDS as I sold my cable years ago when I sold my then Audi to buy a Porsche. Unfortunately having kids has sent me back down the car ladder. :-(. I retrofitted CarPlay the other day so this should be much easier I hope.
Great video! Have the same issue.. now to find motors or parts....
Awesome video, I actually have a problem with my driver side window not heated up i checked the voltage and ohms voltage said 0 when only one wire connected but when I disconnected all wires and checked for ohms it ready about 2.4 ohms and I jiggled some wires and connected the mirror back on and it started heating up again so I’m not sure what the issue would be
I think most of the heated mirror problems come from foldable mirrors. Maybe the engineer at Audi has not taken into account the wire power wire length when the mirror is folded and it got pulled out from the connector when the mirror is folded 😄
Thank you for such a nice video with comments. Now I will try to do it myself too as I am getting exactly same fault codes on vcds as you have mentioned in the beginning of this video.
Where did you bought that heating element?
Please read the description and comments. I just explained it today :)
You have put lot of effort in making this video. Thumbs up.
Thank you.. it was challenging because this isn't my area at all.. Just to make the video, comment it and cut it is very time consuming. To answer your initial question. It's custom made espacially for me. I've contacted several Chinease factories that I hardly found on Internet and told them what I wanted. And I just needed one piece of this pad for my own broked A6 C7 side mirror. Nobody is interested to produce it in such a small numbers product that doesn't exist on the market. Every single factory wanted an order 5000-10000$+ just to talk to you. Payment in advance.. Found a one and we agreed on 5 pairs, 10 pieces.. Created a layout in Adobe Illustrator, exchanged like 50 emails about multiple issues (cuts offs, connector types, soldering, protection etc). Diffucult from EU do deal with China. Figured out, that ristricted use of Internet in there.. simply, another world.. This all took like 6 weeks altogether. After one year I had sell all remaining 9 pieces (mostly in Czech and Slovak Audi community). All my initial investement had returned back to me with 0 profit :) but that wasn't a goal for me .. I just wanted to have it fix. It's fixed, working for almost a one year now .. cost me 30EUR (after one year :)))
@@mirinonr Wow. You should write a blog post about it or post a thread on Audi forms.
@@mirinonr Custom made by who?
@@lawrencebell6012 By Chinese factory that was interested in such a small low profit order
@@mirinonr hi mate, where exactly did You buy it from?
5:00 part number?
For my A6 C7 2014 it was 4G0.857.042
Hi! Did u solve the problem? Doing this my var has had several sensors replaced all in vain. Please help me.
Please read the description under the video. Everything is explained in details
@@mirinonr if I understand correctly the problem is solved by replacing the starter and battery? i ask because i don't speak english so well and i want to be sure. so I apologize.
@@janoskrisztianszabo9613 Janos, it was 7 years ago :) As I said in description and comments, it was the combination of dying battery + dying starter motor. Please use Google Chrome browser and right click "Translate into Hungarian?" :)

Hi, you can tell me how can i check if my mirrors still have electrochrome / dimming in orrking order? I have same car.... Thanks
Hi, This is bit tricky but easiest way (without dissassembly) would be this: At night, start the car. Take you mobile phone and turn on the flashlight. Do flash the light into internal back mirror, into the photo-resistor located on the bottom edge. You will shortly see that your outside mirrors will get total black (despite there is night outside) Unfortunately, if it doesn't work you don't know whre the problem is. Can be the internal mirror, can be some wiring, can be the outside side mirrors, fuse, etc But give it a try The other way is to dissasembly the mirror, use two cable and connect to the 1.5V AA battery. You will see that it will go dark in a while
Super!
Super, perfektny navod.
HI, I know this was a long time ago but what solved this?
@Gavin Bing: It was a combination of dying battery and poor quality of starter motor. Had to replace a battery and refubrish the starter motor. I've been told that the starter motor "destroyed" the battery.. if I would change it sooner, battery might last longer..
I have the exact same issues, although the battery is still under warranty, the starter is getting jammed and not spinning at full speed, it seemed like the battery was not charged but even with jump leads it turns over very slowly, but occasionally spins very fast
I have the same problem now, just fitted a new Bosch battery and still the same problem, my car sounds the same as the car in the video, Ive heard it could be the earth wire from the gearbox to the bodywork, it gets corroded and needs cleaning, so I'll have a look at the weekend before I look at the starter motor....
Ahoj, prosím tě mohl by jsi mi napsat jak si tento problém vyřešil? Mám úplně stejný problém a už si nevím rady co s tím. Moc by si mi pomohl !!! Díky za odpověď
Je to napisane pod videom. Pre pripad ze nehovoris anglicky: Bola to kombinacia porucajuceho sa startera a vadnej baterie. Moj nazor je taky ze ten (indicky) starter sa casom opotreboval a pri startovani zatazoval bateriu natolko ze pri enormnej zatazi odisla aj ta. Takze, bateria vymena, starter repas a klop klop
Díky za rychlou odpověď, baterku mám půl roku starou. Zkusím teda repas startéru a uvidíme ;) tak ať ti slouží :)
Je to presne Ford Mondeo MK4. Bohuzial, je tam dost problematicke prehodit vyhrev, na fordclub.sk sa o tom docitate viac
