It works with windows but not the mirrors

 

[H8T WP]

so what would you change steering weight to for instance? make it lighter or heavier and such? whats the advantages

 

[DanGB]

The advantage is if its too heavy or light to you. I cant remember which way is which though.

No thats wrong, well on mine, you dont need the lights to be left on, they come on for 10 seconds (or whatever is set) regardless of the light switch.

 

[Blade]

i,m confused now. So what should happen is - i stop the car, lock it and the lights come/stay on for so many seconds. Alternatively, i go to open the car and the lights turn on, regardless of whether iv,e left the switch on or not

 

[craigG]

No!! I do not have the Auto lights so I have to leave the lights ON for the feature to work!!

 

[DanGB]

No!! I do not have the Auto lights so I have to leave the lights ON for the feature to work!!

Well have you enabled the Leaving home feature in VAG-COM?

Yes if Coming home and leaving home are enabled. It does it this way in my car, but cant guarantee it would be the same in your, but possibly.

"Beep when locking/unlocking car (My favourite feature)
This adds a beep when locking the car, and two beeps when unlocknig the car.
Below; horn refers to the beep, and blink refers to the indicators blinking"

I am interested to do with my car but with the equipment I need to pay for the cable and the software?, would it be cheaper if i got a vag dealer to it in wales instead or would there not touch it at all?

VCDS License with Micro-CAN Interface $249.00 In Stock < that comes with the license and cable so thats all i need i fi were to purchase it ?

thanks*

That $249 Micro-CAN is everything you need to get going, and its worth it

Your dealer should be able to do it for a fee, go in and ask

I was reading your guide over and over I still wasn't sure how to do the beep unlock well I understood as far with the coding but confused with Bytes when I get the car very soon that is. I will most likley get the kit myself and try it. I can always screenshot where i went if it happens lol....oh bit of a stupid question when it beeps whats it actually sound like? got a sound clip? thanks Dan!
