Title: Auto Windows using key fob
Post by: holepunch on April 20, 2010, 12:25:14 pm

During the recent hot/warm weather I have used the key remote to open the car and the windows, however it only works on the driverside window.

Do I nned to change a setting via highline comp to ensure it does both?

This happened to me the other day actually -- it stopped closing all but the drivers door window.  After connecting the car to a friend's VCDS cable we noticed that there were errors (DTCs) on the radio and randomly enough, clearing these made all the windows work again...  :confused:

When doing this from the key fob do you just hold the unlock button down?

Yep, or the lock button if you want to close them. :happy2:

It's definitely an option that needs to be enabled via the highline display or VCDS though.

On my MK2 Leon if you held the lock button for a few seconds the windws would close - any ideas if VCDS can programe the golf to do that?

Yeah mine does close the windows but you need to keep lock button pressed - on my leon you only had to press it once for a couple of seconds and it would fold the mirrors and close the windows.

Scotta, think ive seen another post on this somewhere and iirc then this isnt possible via a VCDS re-code, think it requires an alarm unit with global closure feature, so require a new module or after-market unit. Shame as it would be a good feature.

You mean where you hold down the unlock button and all the windows open right? On mine (57 reg MY08) there is definitely a setting in the highline comp to turn this feature on/off and I think an option for the drivers side only (tho I might getting this mixed up with the auto-lock feature!). I can't remember off-hand what it's called in the menu but it something pretty cryptic like "convenience mode" I think.

How/where do you access the HighLine computer then?

The highline display is a full sized display. The midline is a half-sized display. If you have highline you will have extra buttons to access the onscreen menu.
