They never fitted a new control switch. It was booked in for that purpose but further investigation into the issue came up with this solution.

I have the car back from Stirling Audi. Here is the result of the investigation into the mirrors failing to operate except in low temperatures. The drive select mode “efficiency” only allows operation of mirror demist in low temperatures. The garage have reset the mode to “auto” and the mirrors now operate on demand by the driver! They say all modes except “efficiency” will allow the mirrors to operate as expected by using the switch on the door panel. I really hope this information is helpful to all owners of 2025 year model cars!

Hi Greg, my car did exactly the same this morning , the temperature here was 2.5 deg. I am booked into Stirling Audi tomorrow to see if there is a fix for this because last month after investigation they said I needed a new controller to be fitted. I am hoping they fit an older version of the controller to allow the mirrors to heat on demand by the driver but I will just have to wait and see what they come up with !

Hello Betty, you are experiencing exactly the same issue as I have. My gripe is that in rainy weather the mirrors should clear when switched on . Audi are trying to be too clever here and , in my opinion, this is dangerous as it leads to poor vision . My car actually cleared the mirrors on one day last week when the outside temperature was 1 deg. I am booked in to Stirling Audi in mid November so let’s see if they actually fit an older controller which will negate the temperature setting which looks like being a problem. I will keep you informed when they fit the new controller. They haven’t admitted anything so I’m only guessing that this is the plan to sort me out!

Car was in Dealer today. They say they cannot fix my problem and have ordered a new controller switch. I asked if this was an older version of the switch in order to bypass the temperature control but they were very deliberate in avoiding that situation only saying that a new switch is on order and that would fix the issue. The technician agreed with me at the start of the process that they were not working this morning in 12degrees and the rain droplets were visible even after a 20 min drive into the dealership.

Thanks Gareth, I will .

I have exactly the same problem. The dealer says they have never heard of this and the mirrors must be faulty. It’s booked in next Thursday but I think I’m going to be told it’s an ambient temperature issue which is stated in the handbook! Very poor visibility in wet weather if that’s the case though! Let’s see.
