The 1Y0857511G mirror was introduced from approximately September 2002 and VW catalogue information shows this specific version through approximately July 2005.
Later applications may use a superseding version, so the original part number and electrical specification should always be checked.
Important Body Style Information:
This 1Y0 mirror is associated with the New Beetle Convertible / Cabriolet.
It should NOT automatically be listed as compatible with the New Beetle hatchback, as hatchback models use different 1C0-series interior mirror part numbers.

• Automatic anti-dazzle / auto-dimming function
• Integrated interior lighting
• Integrated digital clock
• Electrical connection to the vehicle wiring

The automatic anti-dazzle function is designed to reduce glare from headlights behind the vehicle during night driving.
Equipment / PR-Code Information:
VW catalogue information associates 1Y0857511G with:
PR Code: 9W0 – Without car phone preparation / installation
Vehicles equipped with factory telephone preparation can use a different interior mirror version despite appearing very similar.
Colour Variants:
The base OE number 1Y0857511G was produced with different interior colour suffixes, including:
• 1Y0857511G 3PT – Cream Beige
• 1Y0857511G Y20 – Pearl Grey
Please use the listing photographs to confirm the exact colour of the mirror supplied.
Interior Mirror System Information:
The New Beetle Convertible was offered with several interior mirror configurations.
Differences can include:
• Manual or automatic anti-dazzle function
• Digital clock
• Integrated interior lighting
• Telephone preparation
• Interior trim colour
• Electrical connector configuration
For this reason, visual similarity alone does not guarantee compatibility.
Common Reasons for Replacement:
• Auto-dimming function no longer operating
• Damaged or discoloured mirror glass
• Digital clock failure
• Interior light malfunction
• Damaged mirror housing
• Broken windscreen mounting mechanism
• Electrical connector or internal electronics failure
• Cosmetic damage or excessive wear
Important Diagnostic Information:
If the automatic dimming, clock or lighting functions are not operating, check the vehicle wiring, electrical connector and relevant fuses before replacing the complete mirror.
This is an electrically equipped mirror and should not be confused with a basic non-powered rear-view mirror.
Installation:
Designed to mount in the original factory windscreen mirror position.
Check that the windscreen mounting point and electrical connector correspond with your existing mirror before installation.
Care should be taken when removing or installing the mirror to avoid damaging the windscreen mounting point or surrounding trim.
Programming / Coding:
Normally no separate programming or coding is required when replacing the mirror with the correct matching specification.
The electrical connector and vehicle equipment specification must still correspond.
IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE:
Please compare your original mirror with:
1Y0857511G / 1Y0 857 511 G
Check the complete OE number, electrical connector, mounting arrangement, functions and interior colour before purchasing.
This part is intended for the VW New Beetle Convertible / Cabriolet (1Y) and should not automatically be assumed to fit the New Beetle hatchback.
Condition:
