Title: Midline computer
Post by: Gti man on February 21, 2014, 05:58:29 pm: Hi everyone, hope you can help

Just got my golf gti with midline computer what option can you change for example:
Auto lock doors when moving
Radio station display
Windows auto close on lock
Single door unlocking

Can these options be turned on in midline or do they have to be done with vagcom or taking it to a vw dealer

Any ideas

I've got diesal mid lines and I have non of them options.

But I did get the doors to lock after 15km/h , just comes up as an option when connected to vagcom. There was also choices like horn sound when locked but this didn't work on mine ? Also there was other options about locking/unlocking certain doors but I can't quite remember what the options where. This was all on vag com though.

Post by: Adam-golf on February 21, 2014, 06:26:33 pm: I have 974M, what's the difference?

Post by: SI-R32 on February 21, 2014, 06:32:47 pm: The difference will me Max MPH and colour of dials etc as I have an R32 not gti, other than that, probably not much

Aha good! Was getting worried it wouldn't be much better than my midline
