The 4GD959565A power mirror switch is listed as an aftermarket replacement control for selected Audi A6, A7, RS6, RS7, and A8 applications. A matching model name alone does not confirm fitment because switches can vary by year, trim, market, mirror options, connector, and installation position. Before ordering, match reference number 4GD959565A and compare the plug, pin count, button layout, mounting clips, housing, and original switch photos.
This guide uses only details verified on the NexuParts product record. It explains how to make a careful buying decision without treating a model name, symptom, or similar-looking control as proof of compatibility.
What the 4GD959565A Power Mirror Switch Listing Confirms
The product is identified as a power mirror switch with reference part number 4GD959565A. The listing names Audi A6, A7, RS6, RS7, and A8 as reference applications. It contains one switch and is described as a new aftermarket replacement, not an official Audi-branded or genuine OEM product.
Review the current housing, buttons, connector, price, and inventory on the 4GD959565A Audi power mirror switch product page. Product images are especially important because the listing does not specify a universal year range or trim package.
Why Model Names Are Only a Starting Point
Audi vehicles carrying the same model badge can use different mirror controls across production dates, trims, markets, door positions, and mirror feature packages. Folding, heating, memory, adjustment direction, and other vehicle options can affect the control configuration. Do not assume that every A6, A7, RS6, RS7, or A8 uses the same switch.
Use the VIN and a reliable vehicle-specific catalog to confirm 4GD959565A for the exact vehicle and installation position. Then compare the original part with every product image. The OE reference and physical configuration should agree before purchase.
4GD959565A Power Mirror Switch Buying Checklist
1. Match the complete reference number
Look for 4GD959565A on the original control, packaging, repair record, or a trusted catalog. Compare every character. Do not treat a partial sequence or a longer search tag as an automatically valid interchange without vehicle-specific evidence.
2. Confirm the exact vehicle and position
Verify the model, year, trim, market, door location, and mirror equipment. The product record says placement should match the original position shown in the pictures, but it does not establish one universal front, rear, left, or right location for every application.
3. Compare the connector housing
Check the plug shape, keying, latch position, orientation, and how the harness approaches the switch. The connector should align and lock without cutting, filing, or forcing. Use several photo angles because a small keying difference may be hidden from one view.
4. Count the pins
Compare the visible pin count and terminal arrangement with the original switch. An outer connector housing can look correct while the terminal layout differs. If the pins are not clear in the listing photos, request fitment help before ordering.
5. Compare the control layout
Review the shape, markings, number, spacing, and movement of each control. Check the selector positions and any surrounding icons against the original part. A switch that fits the opening but has a different function layout is not a confirmed match.
6. Check clips and housing
Compare mounting clips, tabs, edges, curves, screw points, and overall housing proportions. The replacement should seat in the original trim without modification. A different clip position or housing shape is a reason to stop and recheck the reference.
7. Confirm package quantity
The listing includes one power mirror switch. Do not assume that trim panels, knobs, harnesses, screws, brackets, or other door controls are included unless the product record and images explicitly show them.
Diagnose Mirror-Control Problems Before Buying
The product record notes that a failing or incorrect mirror switch may be associated with intermittent control response, no response from the controlled function, or electrical control faults. Those symptoms do not prove the switch is faulty. Wiring, connectors, power supply, mirror mechanisms, motors, modules, or another component may require inspection.
Use vehicle-specific diagnostic and service information to determine the cause. Diagnosis establishes whether a replacement is needed; the OE number, connector, controls, and mounting configuration establish which replacement to consider.
Similar Mirror Switches Are Not Interchangeable by Function Alone
NexuParts also lists a 22883768 / 15261340 Chevrolet and GMC power mirror switch. It performs a related control function but has different references, vehicle applications, connector requirements, and physical details. It is linked for comparison only and is not an alternative to 4GD959565A.
Common Ordering Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering by Audi model name without confirming year, trim, market, and options
- Matching only part of the 4GD959565A reference
- Ignoring connector keying, pin count, controls, markings, or mounting clips
- Assuming every door or installation position uses the same control
- Treating an inoperative mirror as proof that the switch itself is faulty
- Assuming an aftermarket replacement is an OEM or genuine branded part
- Installing or modifying an electrical control before comparing it side by side
Browse more switches and electrical controls in the Lighting & Electrical collection. Collection placement helps with discovery, but each item still requires its own OE-number, vehicle, connector, control-layout, and mounting verification.
What to Check Before Installation
Use service information for the exact Audi application to confirm trim removal, switch location, connector release, electrical checks, fasteners, and any vehicle-specific initialization requirements. This guide does not establish a universal installation procedure.
Before connecting or installing the replacement, place it beside the original switch. Compare 4GD959565A, the plug, latch, pins, selector, buttons, icons, clips, housing, finish, and position. If any detail differs, pause and resolve the fitment question rather than modifying the switch or vehicle trim.

No. The product is listed as a new aftermarket replacement. Audi names are used to describe compatibility.
Can an inoperative mirror confirm the switch has failed?
No. The mirror-control system requires diagnosis. A symptom alone does not identify the failed component or correct replacement.

How many switches are included?
The package contains one power mirror switch.
Final Verification Before Ordering
Before adding the 4GD959565A Audi mirror adjustment switch to your cart, confirm the exact vehicle, options, position, and reference number.
