Purpose and function in the vehicle

This solution is particularly useful when the vehicle is used by multiple drivers with different driving positions.

Construction and performance parameters

The Audi Q2 GA Wing Mirror Motor Drive Adjustment Memory Actuator Unit is an integrated drive assembly mounted inside the mirror housing. It consists of:

• an electric drive for adjusting the mirror glass position,
• a gear mechanism responsible for smooth movement in both axes,
• electronics that interface with the vehicle's memory system.

This solution allows for precise, repeatable mirror adjustment while maintaining full compatibility with the factory Audi electrical system. Using an original solution from the Exterior mirrors group minimizes the risk of communication errors with body modules and coding issues.

Benefits of using the original drive

Using a dedicated memory adjustment motor in the Audi Q2 GA provides a number of practical benefits:

• Full integration with the comfort system – works with seat and mirror memory without the need for wiring modifications.
• Stable mechanism operation – proper fitment to the mirror geometry reduces play and unwanted vibrations of the glass.
• Appropriate operating characteristics – speed and range of motion matched to factory Audi settings, facilitating precise adjustment of the field of view.
• Consistency with vehicle electronics – maintains correct communication with control modules and prevents diagnostic errors.

Condition, installation, and service application

The item is offered as a used original Audi component, which allows for an economical repair of the mirror adjustment system while maintaining factory build quality. This is a practical solution in the event of drive damage due to a collision, tampering with the mirror, or wear and tear.

The motor is designed for installation in the front right exterior mirror. Replacement involves removing the mirror glass, disconnecting the electrical connectors, and swapping the drive unit, following Audi service procedures. After installation, it is recommended to check the adjustment operation in both axes and the correct interaction with the memory function.
