Folding Mirros
Hello,
I have a 2005 C180K with no folding mirrors. I am planning to buy the folding mirrors of ebay and i was wondering if the wiring is there and if it's just plug and play. I look on install the following:

Will this be ok? Do i need any additional wiring?
Thank you

MB Workshop Instructions (WIS) has 3 different articles for "Retrofit outside folding mirrors":
1. Cars with code 249 (automatically dimming rearview and outside mirror
2. Cars with code 275 memory package (seats, mirrors, steering column)
3. Rest of the cars
Step 1 requires 1 new door control module, step 3 requires 2 new modules according to WIS. Also coding with STAR is required in each of them!
Articles in WIS:
AN88.70-P-0001PA (option 1)
AN88.70-P-0001PB (option 2)
AN88.70-P-0001PC (option 3)
It is almost plug&play sort of stuff but you need STAR + the right part numbers for the modules. The code for this option is "500b"
Edit: Did a little digging and it seems you could buy modules for option 249+275+500 even you do not have the memory seats etc. I was looking at the car for sale with only folding mirrors, but no memory package, and EPC gives this as the control module information when I entered this cars VIN to EPC.
Good luck

Can you give me links to the articles and explain what the options 249+275+500 are?
Thank you!

You dont need. Assuming you have WIS, open the documents I gave and you will know why.
I know Americans dont have W203's with folding mirrors, but in here theres plenty of them without any memory seat -options. Can even give you VINs if you dont believe
The numbers are option codes. 500b is the code for folding mirror option which you want to retrofit. I described earlier what different option numbers means, and what measures have to be taken if your car has any of those.

On my 2005 C230 Sport Sedan, I retrofitted the folding mirrors and I do not have memory seats. You just need to get the door control modules (DCM) that go to memory seats
