programmable automatic locking

[Treza360]

And Jimmy (Jmac) did the auto door lock at 15kmh at my 30,000 service - which, for other S.E Qld owners, was done beautifully and for a fraction of what VW would charge.

What Peter said in regards to Jimmy.
I did the auto lock/beep thing myself with my V-Checker. A nice little aftermarket handheld VAG scanning tool.
Just be careful though. It's all very easy if you have instructions but then you start poking around looking at the descriptions for the different channels. Then you select channel 0 and it just says erased! No menu or description no nothing, just erased. Had to reprogram my remote central locking again. At least I didn't wipe the transponder in the key as well!
So yes be careful.

With my auto lock feature my passenger side door doesn't unlock when I take the key out like the drivers door does. Is this the same of everyone else?

[VW GTI]

Do both doors unlock when you press unlock once on the key?

I think it's the same setting.

[Flaps]

I have to press unlock twice for both doors to unlock. At my next service I'll have it changed to both doors unlock on one button to see if both unlock when removing the key from the ignition.

Either one press or removing the key unlocks both doors on mine.

Only the driver's side unlocks with the remote on mine have to unlock the passangers side with the lock button on the door.

Is it worth buying VAG-COM?

Yep - same here - the double click thing drove me nuts.

I think unlocks boot as well.

Before trip to dealer

Loud BEEP BEEP on unlocking

No Auto Lock on take off

Only driver door unlocked with one click

After trip to dealer

No beep beep ever again (Thank god)

Auto Locks at 15kph

All doors unlock with one click

Cost - Nothing.


TIP :- Watch your spare key, it ceases to work once the car is tweaked, make sure you do both at the same time....

and as for putting the key in the door ? Sorry ??? You have lost me Do what???

Thanks! That explains why my 2nd key doesn't work.
