Does this just get glued onto the current mirror?

Although you should be able to apply it to the surface of the existing mirror, it will make a better seal within the rim of the mirror frame if you extract the old mirror first. Also note that this isn't the heated mirror mount, so if the Passat has that feature, then you really should buy that replacement part. If it's not a feature you use much, then just remove the mirror and apply.

the mirror is heated though the surface area that is heated is about two thirds of the size of the stock mirror. this does not seem to affect the functionality

It would be best if the mirror plastic was intact. Depending on how much was broken, this item could possibly be made to work, but I would repair the mirror before I installed this product. It's really just an accent accessory.

It will pop out with a prying effort with your hands(fingers) or a wood chisel or a flat blade screw driver. Just work around all the edges until it pulls free. Be careful of the electrical connections and how they are positioned with the old mirror so you will see how they connect on the new mirror. Also, be careful when seating the new mirror and do not apply force that will break it. The new mirror should seat with no problem.Be ready to catch any broken glass from the old mirror when it is pried out of the housing.Mine works like new.

Yes and no. Once you install this device it essentially covers your existing mirror with a mirror of its own.So you will no longer have the mirror you have now, but the new one that is essentially a part of this device, think of it as a rear-view mirror with cameras attached.

It just goes over your original mirror. The spring loaded clips grab the existing mirror.

You are right- You will want to remove it carefully. It takes some prying. There are clasps that also hold the mirror. But I didn't break anything removing the old one and this was my first time doing it.

If I remember right (been a while) - you get the mirror and on the back are 2 strips of double sided tape. I just peeled off the plastic and stuck it on.

Ive used it on the bathroom mirror only, there are screw-anchors included, for mounting elsewhere

I tried to find out the same thing, and couldn't get an answer. I ended up buying a mirror separately, and it looks fine.

It is supposed to snap over your existing mirror, but your mirror had better be very thin. I mounted mine over the mirror in my MDX. It popped off and the very thin, very dark mirror shattered. I it infield Amazon and was told that I had to deal with the seller who is in Asia. I had to pay $29 to mail this defective item to Asia. The post office cannot track packages overseas. It apparently never arrived so I lost the $169 I paid for the item, plus the $29 for mailing. Amazon would not back me up in any way, even though I have been an Amazon Prime member for years. Apparently you are not buying the item from Amazon, but from some random vendor in Asia. Save your money.

It would depend on where the button is on your mirror. If the button is on the face of your mirror, then no. It will be covered by the new mirror. If is across the top, back or bottom, it would depend on the location. There are two, i'll call them little arms, on the top and bottom each that hook over your existing mirror that could potentially cover the button. You could attach the Pikibu slightly to one side or the other to go around this issue. Depending on the size of your existing mirror, you may not be able to SEE the button, you may have to feel for it until muscle memory just automatically goes to the button. I wouldn't think that would be a huge deal since half the time pushing buttons like that is done without looking anyway.

The mirror attaches on top of the existing mirror with spring loaded clips.

Yes the cover comes off and you can use your painted cover. and heated mirrors have heat strips and a different wire harness. find out witch one you have, because the plugs are different, i had to splice my plug to my new mirror cause i orded the wrong one.

Yes it is safe, just try placing the mirror in a couple of spots to make sure it has the correct visibility before you remove the adhesive paper. Also this mirror rotates 360 degrees so finding a good view is very simple. Ps when removing it permanently for any reason simply spray some Goof Off behind the new mirror and use a plastic putty knife to seperate the two.

The mirror attaches with adhesive backed velcro. Thickness is of no concern.

Yes and it takes no time to take it off. Best bet is to use your cap from your original mirror I it's not damaged.
