A4 automatic locking function |
|
|
I have an A4 2.5 TDi year 2003. The handbook (p 58) says there is a
facility to automatically activate the central locking when the car goes
over 15Kph. "Should you wish to activate the automatic locking function on
your vehicle, a qualified workshop can do this for you".
Can anyone tell me please - is this something I can do myself and if so
how?

Hi Alistair, |
Well if it's like the TT, the autolock function that you speak of can be
enabled via the VAGCOM port. If you have any friends with a laptop/VAGCOM
software/cable it can be done very easily. If not, dealers will do it for
you, but some do charge. It's certainly a worthwhile function to have.

I've seen mention of a whole variety of these optional settings but Audi
themselves provide no information which surprises me.
Is it a case of they really don't want us to know and use them or is it just
that they can't be bothered documenting the options ?
They could provide a list ending with "consult dealer if you would like any
of these settings changed".

Can you identify the name of this laptop software or the manufacturer
so that I can search for it? |
