Can anyone tell me if the below is possible?
I have activated the auto locking off the car once I set off but is there an option that will unlock the door when I turn off and take the key out?
At the moment you have to pull the handle, let go and pull it again. No major issue just that my MKIV used to unlock automatically when taking the key out the ignition.
The only problem I have with it is when I have a passenger who is too eager to get out the car they yank the handle and keep pulling and don't understand why its not opening.
Thanks in advance.

Can be set but dunno about highline. I used VCDS to unlock the doors when the key is taken out.
Pulling the handle - remember older cars used to come with a door lock to open before you could pull the handle. Pulling the handle once unlocks it and the second time opens the door.

I have this function activated, when i take my keys out the doors automatically unlock.

Same here but I did mine with VCDS.

You need to code this using VCDS :happy2:
-
how do you code it in VCDS to unlock when key removed please?
-
Sam,
Assuming you have, or have access to VCDS - select the convenience module - it is in there, obvious which one when you look at the Long coding helper :happy2:
-
Sorry I'm a bit new to this. Is VCDS just software like VAGCOM that you connect up to the car with a cable?
-
Vcds is vagcom. New name.

In the Convenience menu within Highline, I have 3 options. They are single door opening, auto lock & auto unlock (might say auto open & auto close, I can't remember). With them activated it locks as I pull away & unlocks when I remove the key.

Thanks, I had a look several times but must have missed it.
I'll see if I can get it working tomorrow.

I had a play with the settings today but with no luck.
Pretty sure auto close locks the doors when you drive off.
So I presumed Auto open would unlock the car when taking the key out the ignition but it doesn't.
I can't see what it does.
Can anyone shed any light on what auto open actually does?
-
Auto open should open the doors when the key is removed.
Just make sure if you use the option in the highline that the arrow either side moves. with Vag-com it is easy to see that you have enabled it

Not quite sure what you mean. To me it looks like the arrow on the right shows the selection you on on and the arrow on the left shows of you have enabled that option.
So I have scrolled down to auto.open, this shows an arrow on the right.
I then press ok which shows me an arrow on the left also.
To finish I press the down arrow to move to the back option. At this point the arrow on the right moves down from auto.open to show I have selected back.

Ok this is now driving me a little mad.
I'm definitely selecting the correct option (setting automatic opening to on)
I've read and double checked the booklet that came with the car 3.1 controls and Equipment for the Golf GTI so I know it should open the car when I take the key out the ignition.
It's refusing to work. Is there a chance something is broke? I can't think why else it wouldn't work but the menu appears to be saving my selection.
I've also noticed in the booklet it states there should be a lights and vision menu which wil let you chance the time your headlight stay on for with the leaving and coming home feature.
However this menu doesn't exist on my car.
Does anyone have any ideas why it wouldn't?
Or does anyone else have this option?

I've tried to set the auto locking thro my high line, it didn't work and I have no lights and vision but that's because I need a highline CECM have you had a code read with vcds if so what is the part number of your cecm? Could be that

My car is a late 2008 if that makes any difference.
The weird thing is auto close works, it's the auto open that refuses to work.
I always wanted Vag-con for my old car so I think it's now time I got vcds.
Where is the best place to get the cable? Fleabay?

Steer clear of the cheap ebay copies. If your going to treqt yourself I'd save the money and get a genuine one. At least you get tech support from Ross-tech then too. Fire a PM to NHN off here. I know he sells them or alternatively try http://www.mi-uk.com/products/accessories/vag-com-diagnostic/ (http://www.mi-uk.com/products/accessories/vag-com-diagnostic/)
That's where I had mine from.
