I'm sure there is a procedure for re-synchronising the central locking, something like what Billy was saying, you lock the car with the key and hold it in the locked position for so many seconds or something like that , I'm sure there is a method. Maybe Vrstu or somebody else equally as switched on can help :smiley:

Id be interested in hearing how this is resolved, since I've picked up my car the remote open/close windows doesn't work and the boot opening button doesn't seem to work at all.  Not really bothered but it would be nice to have these features...

Hi there guys

The cars have not been in for a service recently have they?

We had a similar issue. The car went in to have the CCM computer's software updated. The reason it did it was because (You prob wont belive me) but the software for the CCM computer is American. But the computer itself is German. So they conflict with each other. It can happen any time.

CCM- CEntral convenience module. It controls power steering, central locking, windows etc.

Solution:

1. Take her in to be reset and if a reset does not help they may change the controllers software.
2. The car may have been in for a service recently and had the software upgrade. By having the software upgrade both boot opening and operation of windows via the key fob are disabled. Simply access the options via the highline computer and set them as you want them.
3. The coding may be out. Check the manual. There is a way to recode the key by putting it into the drivers door and turning it whilst pushing a button or something. I cant fully remember how.
4. If you dont have the highline... Pop into VW and they can change it via VAG COM. OR ask a forum member to help  :signLOL:

Midline  :sad:

But mine most likely had the updates before I took ownership 6 months ago (2005 model).  Usefull information, I'll see how much VW want to rob me for this and then most likely tell them to naff off.

Cheers though.

Midline too. But funnily enough, the car boot now opens normally.

Still can't get the windows to open without the keys in the ignition (the hold-down-open-button trick still works though).
