Auto-locking unlocked
« on: July 19, 2010, 12:05:09 am »
A few weeks back, I enabled the auto-lock feature so as you drive off, the doors automatically lock themselves. Which is all well and good except that sometimes I like to lock the doors anyway.

This has caused a problem - if I lock the doors first, then when I put the keys into the ignition, the doors unlock (leaving me vulnerable) and then auto-lock when I drive off.

What gives?

My old mini used to lock the doors its self, was thinking about getting my golf set so it does the same thing, did you get it done at VW?

Tara, anyone with VCDS locally to you will be able to do this, it's a 20 second job - dealers have been known to charge £30 for this! A shame you are not going to Castle Coombe tomorrow as someone will have been able to do this for you.

Bit odd that one, mine never does that. If I lock the doors myself before I put the key in the doors won't unlock when I put the key in. But when I take the key out they won't unlock either as it probably thinks that I don't want them to unlock.  Normally they lock at 5 mph (all doors) and unlock when I take the key out (only the doors unlocked initially).

Tara if your VW dealer is friendly they'll do it for free  :happy2:

No, I have VCDS. As above, can also be done with highline.

....@ Dom and Tara: PM your mobile # to Tara so she can find you if she goes to The Combe. [I shan't be there, btw].

My dealer did it for me for free.. Of course!
