Hi All,

Pretty much the title of this thread says it all.

Can I turn off the drive away locking feature or is it a trip to the main dealer?

Cheers Pete.

 

Hey Pete:

You can do it with VCDS. I haven't actually done it to verify. This youtube is a VW, but should be the same VAG system.


You might also reach out to member nguyennhatquang. He just had a thread where the topic of auto locks came up.

 

Yes you can definitely turn it off I did mine with my mates vcds

 

Hi Sir!
So I know that VCDS is some type of software for (I thought) detecting faults.

Apologies for my ignorance, where do I purchase it from, does it come with whatever lead I need?

Thanks in advance!

 

Excellent, just need to get hold of the software then!

 

No such thing as ignorance here Mr. Pete!

Thanks, yet again for your much needed assistance Mr BWings!
Is this what I need? https://store.ross-tech.com/shop/vchv2_ent/

 

Yes, that's what I have. Before purchase, make sure you review the computer needs. I have several devices like these for different cars and some won't work with Apple, some need windows 7. I can't remember about this one. Also, they sell these by the "hookups". The basic unit comes with 3 licenses. In other words 3 different cars. The unit picks up and stores the car VIN and that becomes a count. If you wanted to scan yet a 4th car, you'd need to purchase additional licenses.

I've not used up my 3 from the initial purchase.

It is a full access VAG tool BTW. You can do a whole bunch with it besides just reading fault codes in all categories.

 

Perfect, I'm going to check computer spec & then purchase from there.
Cant wait to play with my car!

 

I'm using ODIS to change the setup but it actually just a guide funcion of Coding..
if u want I can share my coding then u just enter it to kessey by VCDS..
I have setting turn off the Door Lock and Chip when u lock or unlock car

 

Many thanks for your input.
I have just ordered the VCDS so any assistance on how to input would be very well received!

 

Here is my sw coding
0405741

enter that then u will have same as me

 

Many thanks nguyennhatquang.

Once the kit arrives I'll get this done!

 

So played with my new VCDS yesterday & successfully modified the following:

One press of fob, unlock all doors
Disabled drive away auto locking
Alarm beep & flash when comfort locking
Alarm beep & flash when using key fob:
Also cleared a couple of fault codes as I've just resolved the soft close door function on the passenger side

I was surprised how easy the software was to use, but the forum members here helped a lot so I could understand how to use it before trying it.
I'm one happy chappy

 

Thats great news you sorted a few things, can I ask why you have disabled the auto locking when driving away ...
