Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212)
Power folding mirror (coding)

Hello everyone, I own W212 E-class 2011 and I want to install power folding mirrors. I have already found a shop that could do the installation but they don’t know the code car program.

i would like to know where I can get the code? Or is it possible to install without the code program? Or if any of you have some advices, don’t hesitate to tell me. Thanks.

... + DCU

beside the folding mirror you also need DCU modules capable of managing the new features.

Just wanted to mention that the folding feature on the W212 feels like a real afterthought compared to newer cars. The mirrors don't fold nearly as tightly, it's more like a half fold.

Very easy to do if you have the equipment.

Did it myself a few months ago following this video.


Although the mirrors do not fold flat against the door, they do fold enough to make a difference - at least in my garage.

Plus its cool to see them fold / unfold automatically when the doors lock / unlock.

Haven't seen any other 2010 W212 with this feature in person. Pretty rare.

Me when I park next to a newer E-class:

Did you get your mirrors from Canada, China or a US dealer (doubtful).
