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...


Well after reading the handbook today to see how to synch the remote and the car (its just unlock with the blade then start the car within 15 seconds - thats it) I discovered the problem with the boot unlocking.....I was doing it wrong!  :ashamed: Apparantly you have to hold the boot button for 2 seconds before the boot unlocks.  Previously I was just bliping the button!  Still have to sort the windows.

Do you hold down the button to open your window? You have to press it for aaaaaaaaages before the windows go down.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Lol. You have to hold the unlock button for about four seconds. Then they go down. Mike

I do know about holding it down for the windows, I have held it down for quite a while and nothing happened but I am impatient so my 'quite a while' maybe isn't long enough.  I'll investigate this later.

Somehow, probably with pressing all the keys on the fob when bored, I've managed to bugger a few things up. Only happened in the last month.

1. Windows no longer wind up and down once the car's turned off. Really annoying because it used to be so useful.

2. Can't open the boot without using the boot button, even when I'm in the car and all the doors are open (double-press door open button on door).

Any ideas on how to correct it all?

Stealthwolf is right on this isn't he, as in when parked, there's no other button in the car for opening the boot and you must use the key fob button, even if it's in the ignition?

Ta,
Pete.

Lol this was from ages ago.

Anyway, what I've found is that if I'm driving, doors locked, then I park and open the door locks (double pressing the door open button on the car door), the boot won't open until the driver's door has been opened (can be closed straight away). Haven't tested it for other doors (have 5dr).

Guess maybe it's some kind of security feature?
Does it happen to anyone else?

Can you program the car yourself to make the windows go up soon as you lock the car... ?


i know about holding the lock/unlock button down for a few seconds does it... but it would be nice for them to go up on their own  :smiley:



Anyone know ?

Indeed, sorry to being back from the dead. Didn't think it warranted a new thread  :laugh:

That's cool, cheers for the tip. Mine's three door anyhow.
I just found it a little mystifying as to why there wasn't an open boot button in the car itself, but you can press and hold the boot button even if it's in the ignition... (just about).

i normally hit the unlock button on the key fob twice and then open my boot or press the unlock button inside the car and that unlocks mine no problem (3 door)  :happy2:

but yeah ive had issues with the middle button tbh i thought it didnt work  :signIWS: will try the 4 second thing but its easier to just press top button twice quickly i reckon
