I swap all the interior lights with tunerdomes' LED kit and when I get down to the last one which is the visor light on the driver side. But it does not lit up, I tried to reverse the bulb and even put back the original bulb it still won't lit. I see no code on the console.
New finding: It did work --- but it only lit when the visor is tilt down like 45 degree and it will stop when it is almost 90 degree. I check the passenger side that seems to be lit with a wider range. I am think may be I clipped some wire in the console area as there are quite a few cables there. Again, I am not a mechanic/Auto savvy guy but trying to have some fun and sometimes I am not sure if I had it correctly installed or not.
Another thing that bother me a little bit is the first time I drove the car off the garage the MMI did not come up for a good 20 seconds but then it seems to be back to norm again... should I be worry about that?
The issue is the light only turn on at a very narrow tilt angle. I am a short guy so I have to sit straight up to look into the lighted visor mirror, if I swing the visor down a little the light will goes off.
Funny you should bring this up because I may be having the same issue. Here is my scenario:
With the visor all the way up the light is off. (As it should be)
As I tilt it slightly downward, the light will turn on. As I tilt it further, the light will go back off even before I am able to see myself in the mirror. The arc that the light stays on is very small, and I would almost have to be looking in from the sunroof to see myself in the mirror. (with light on)
I have had my 2013 since October of 2012 and it took me almost 2 years to discover this so obviously its not a big issue with me, but if there is a switch on a pendulum (?) inside there it is definitely out of adjustment.
The passenger side is working in a much wider range.
Markmo, that is exactly my problem. So did you replaced all the interior lights? Anyway, I am not the type of guy that keep checking my ugly face all the time so the visor light does not bother me so much and I will leave it the way it is....
No, I hadn't done anything to the car. I just happened to be sitting in there one day and playing with some of the controls. When I noticed the "quirk" with the drivers side visor I immediately checked the passenger side and found it working more like normal. It took me 22 months to discover this so obviously its not that important to me, but I may mention it at my next oil change. I drive the Q5 approx. 5000 miles a year so the next oil change may not be until October 2015.
