Hi all

on the octavia remote central locking you have to press the open button twice for all the doors to unlock

Is there any way this can be changed so i only have to press once

ahah, glad you asked - I was just about to ask the same question, i found it was the same on a loan fabia as well - I presume there MUST be a way of changing it

I think it can be changed in the Maxidot menu if you have that , otherwise someone with VCDS diagnostics system can do it, or a dealer can re-program the system to open all doors with a single press

Yeah, can be easily changed using VAG.COM, just need a friendly dealer to sort it while you've got your car in, or find a friendly forum member with the software local to you: http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/74720-list-of-vag-com-diagnostic-system-vcds-owners/

thanks guys, I didn't go for the maxidot at the time die to the added cost - but then the dealer never explained what it was for really - ah well

It's amazing what you can do through the computer system with cars these days, I had anti-hijack enabled, seatbelt chime disabled, leaving home lights enabled and 2nd fog light activated after a recent visit to a v.nice forum chap.

I have this set to one zap on my main key - and this works, all the doors unlock on the first zap.. But when the battery failed in that key - I grabbed the spare from the safe and found that I need to zap it twice.

I don't have memory seats or anything like that - anyone know why this is or how to disable this? When I checked Vag Com it was set up fine and when I replaced the battery in my main key it's back to 1 zap.

Anyone know why this is?

I'm on single click for drivers door and double click for all doors. I prefer it this way.

I'd like the 2nd fog enabling though.

each key has its own setting.

so depending on which key u use while setting or configuring the options, it will always pick those settings associated to the key.

if u had electric seats for example, when u unlock with ur key, it will set the wing mirrors & seats according to ur preference.

ur other key (spare), could b used by ur partner/wife. so when they unlock, it will revert to default settings, presuming no personalisation was done.

hence ur experience there with 1 press vs 2 press unlock.

Well sure, but I don't have it.

Not a bloody chance - have you seen what she's done to her car since passing her test - reversed into a skip, collided with my gate post (and lost), gone through numerous sets of wheel hubs..
