Using VAGCOM to turn off Anti-Hijack

Caz84 · Post by **Caz84** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 8:15 pm

Hi there, this is my first post.
I have a W reg 1.4 16V Polo and I have an annoying problem!!

My bf has tried to correct the fault using VAGCOM software but cannot access the correct controller.
My problem is that as soon as I start to drive the car it locks itself and I cannot unlock it unless I turn the ignition off. I have taken it to the garage twice now and both times the mechanic has no clue on how to turn it off.
Anyone got any ideas?

PS Hi by the way

Oh no!! It's driving me totally mad! Apparantly there is a code from VAGCOM but we can't unlock it. We were thinking of taking it to a VW garage to ask them

I know you can do it if you have the "Central Convenience Controller". If so, go into adaptations, there are many options that can be set in there including the one you are after!

If its any help, I have included the Golf/Jetta/New Beetle (98-04) VAG-COM Procedure:

46 - Central Convenience: -- KWP1281
Only on vehicles with power windows. VAG-COM fine. There are numerous options/ features that can be set.

Selective Unlocking:

[Select]
[46 - Cent. Conv.] (35 - Cent. Locking for manual window cars)
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Enter 5-digit code from below
[Do It!]

Look at the existing Soft. Coding. If you have selective unlocking (press the unlock button on the remote once to open the driver's door, twice to open all the doors) the last digit of your coding should be an even number. To make all doors unlock, add 1 to the coding.

So, if you have a 2-door 2002 GTI that is coded for selective unlocking (00064) add one to make it 00065 so that all doors unlock with one press of the unlock button.

Lock/Unlock Horn/Flash:

[Select]
[46 - Cent. Conv.] (35 - Cent. Locking for manual window cars)
[Adaptation - 10]
Channel (03..08)
Adaptation Value (1 = on, 0 = off)
[Save]

Channel 03 Auto Lock
Channel 04 Auto Unlock
Channel 05 Unlock, horn sounds
Channel 06 Lock, horn sounds
Channel 07 Unlock, turn signals flash
Channel 08 Lock, turn signals flash

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks for that Alex, but unfortunately as far as I know we haven't got the "Central Convenience Controller".

Any body else got any ideas?
I've really had enough of it now. I have only had my Polo for 2 months and it has already been in the garage 3 times!! Both my window mechanisms have gone so not only am I locked in my car whilst driving both my windows are bust as well! Just fantastic hey?!

I am almost certain its an aftermarket alarm. What alarm is fitted? Window stickers?

It's got a toad 360 alarm on it I think? I'm taking it into the garage on Thursday (to get the window fixed) do you reckon they could have the code for it? They arent the best garage in the world but it could be worth an ask couldn't it??

Well there's your problem....

You can usually turn on and off these features using the remote and the keys somehow.

There is a guy on here that helps with Toad alarms, he will know exactly what to do. I'm pretty certain that you will not need any equipment or anything, just the manual.

I have a metasystem alarm and it can be configured to lock etc.
