disconnecting battery

[BEOWULF]

Hi guys going to disconnect my battery to reset the ecu.
Just wondered will i lose my remote central locking i know the radio code will have to be put back in.
Will i need to reset anything else.?

 

[Big_daddy]

[BEOWULF]

You'll need to re-sync all one touch electric windows, reset the clock and put in radio codes if needed.
Plus your folding mirrors will need to be closed then opened. they will pause for a while then open when they are ready!
Otherwise, it will be fine.

how do i the one touch window thing ?

 

[Big_daddy]

well, ive never done window sync before, ive done disconnecting the battery loads of time and just done the tb reset. the folding mirrors are not effected, the same goes for my windows

can not get the radio code to go in now keeps coming up safe went go past that

Just leave the head unit on for 30 mins (depending h9ow many tries u had), till its ready to accepet the code

Hope you reading the code the right way round

Try this! disconnect the head unit, reconnect it, leave it on, lock the doors and come back to it!
the thing is, the more mistakes you make the longer the wait!

to do the windows all you need to do is press the button let tehm run all way down, let rest for a second or 2 then press the up direction and that should be all ok then.


took my battery off couple days ago, and the tb, didn't make any noise when i reconnected it... weird

i had this problem the staelers told me to leave the key in! i am lucky i have a garage but i dont know what i would have done if i din't have a garage, probs polish it while i waited i think, think me car is about a bottle of polish heavyer from when i got it now lol

 

[BEOWULF]

still no joy i am ready to smash it now

 

[daveyonthemove]

disconnect the battery again? if it lost the code memory first time around it should do it again,

 

[BEOWULF]

done that

 

[daveyonthemove]

Don't know then mate.
Did you follow the instructuions properly on how to enter the code and press and hold the "Prog" button when you were done? (assuming you have an Aura HU)

 

[BEOWULF]

yes m8
but a number wrong
i thought is was a 0 but it was a 8
been waiting over 2hours now

 

[Cupraloon]

ok this is what it says in the radio handbook in case you don't have one

There is waiting interval:
To prevent cancelling by trial and error,
there is waiting interval that increase after each try.
During this period you can switch radio on or off, but you
will not hear anything.

During the waiting interval, the radio should be left switched OFF,
but connected to the power supply through contact 30 (permenant positive)
As long as " 2 SAFE" is on the display the waiting interval is not over.

It has finished when the number of the next attempt appears for example "2 1000"

 

[BEOWULF]

yer i know that but it been like that since 12 o'clock
how long do i have to wait

 

[Cupraloon]

Sorry i have no idea, it doesn't specify how long,

The only additional info i have is this:

Switch on radio The display reads "SAFE" followed by "1000"
Introduce radio code, confirm bt pressing PROG key untill you hear a beep
and the display reads "SAFE" If you get the number wrong
the dispaly continues to read "SAFE" respect the waiting intervals btween attempts.

I know it's not very clear is it, but the handbook doesn't specify how long, presumably you just have to wait till the "2 SAFE" on the display goes away then go throught the sequence again,

Sorry if thats not clear enough blame the bloke who wrote the SEAT handbook...
