Panic Button?

[Sinan]

I was checking for some stuff on aliexpress and saw a key case with 3 buttons + 1 panic button.

According to some comments on youtube videos, all cars imported to USA have that button. It triggers alarm (or horn?) when pressed and I thought it could be useful when you park your car at massive car parks.

Any other info about it, especially what to do to get it? I'd rather choose horn instead of alarm though.

I have a regular key and I have panic mode, not a separate button. Once the car is locked all you have to do is just press and hold the lock button, so it must be programmable.

I'm quite sure that action locks and closes sunroof and windows, nothing more if alarm option is not present

That will be what gets called "anti car jacking" function. I think that Jeep were the first to introduce that to UK and it took the form of "auto locking" the car at speeds above 5>10KMH.

For some reason, Seat and Volkswagen and maybe Skoda removed that option from their cars supplied into the UK, though it can still be enabled via VCDS, also all VAG cars that have central locking do get a "lock" and "unlock" button fitted as well as maybe selective unlocking of the doors when using the remote key fob.

I don't know what happens if you don't have an alarm. I have factory fitted alarm.
In order to close the windows (I don't have sunroof) you have to press and keep the lock button pressed AS you lock the car. For the panic mode to kick in you have to press the lock button and keep pressing it any time AFTER you have locked the car, be it 1 sec later or 1 hour later, not as you lock the car.

You can make VAG cars auto-lock when driving above 10mph without using VCDS - Simply hold down the lock button a few seconds after starting the engine and it should flash up on the dash, however sometimes it doesn't so just test it out a few times. There's more information on this on these forums, there's also a feature that if you hold down the unlock/lock button on the key fob it'll wind the windows up and down respectively remotely. - These both work on my 2015 Ibiza FR so!
