Remote Control/Key Question

Featured Replies

I've got the usual 2 remote control/keys for my nearly 3 year old Yeti.

 

One of the keys locks all the doors ok and unlocks ok with just one press of the 'unlock' button. The other key will lock all the doors ok but one press of the 'unlock' button just unlocks the drivers door and then another press unlocks the rest of the doors!

 

The handbook does refer to this function but I'm just a bit puzzled why the difference between the 2 keys.

 

 

The 2 keys are set up separately for different options on the Maxidot.
To change it put that key in the ignition and set it up to how you want.

One has the 'carjacking' prevention option set........not something the Japanese identify with though.

As said - each key needs the preference setting as you like it (or the person who the key is allocated to likes it if different).

Thanks Tankman. I found the same thing happened to me this week, again with a nearly three year old Yeti, and was going to ask the same question but hadn't yet got round to it. You've saved me the trouble.

Sorted!!!

 

I put the key needing a double click in the ignition, went to the Maxidot and low and behold there was the option for one or two clicks! I've never had a car with this sort of complexity! Soon need a computor degree to operate the latest cars on the market!

 

Thanks for your help Guys.

I identify with your situation and attitude.

Not something I've seen in my Maxidot but this only unlocking the drivers door drives me mad.

I'll have to investigate. Is it only on newer models?

No - All the same from day 1  :)

Blimey, how long does it take to press the fob button twice?

Twice as long as pressing it once? :S

You're not wrong there!

Suppose you could have a quick blink in the time saved :wait:

Change it in the Maxidot settings!

It's not so much the time factor, it's your passenger(s) trying to rip your door handle(s) off when they hear the car unlock. 

 

SWMBO used to have her Yeti on the anti-hijack setting and it used to really **** me off.

Once you start driving the doors lock automatically about 15KPH anyway so unless SWMBO is concerned about someone jumping in when she unlocks the setting can be left on one push for all doors can't it?

After my complaining about it on many occasions, she now lets the car unlock on all doors at once! 

 

Anyway, if someone did jump in, they'd last about 5 seconds with the screaming kids in the back, and jump straight back out again.

I think it's more about dodgy people loitering in car parks for an opportunity

On both my Yetis the door opening with one click or two, and the anti-hijacking locking at 15mph, are two separate unrelated functions which can either be on or off interdependently of each other.

Not long, do you have to press the TV remote control twice?  ;)

Ah, sometimes I can press the TV remote countless times when searching through the myriad of channels for something worth watching, so having to press the unlock button twice is absolutely nothing!  ;)  

The facility is there for when they are sold in the Southside of Chicago and LA.

Pity Skoda's aren't sold in the good old US of A, but it is a generic thing across the VAG platforms.

When you have a sky plus HD box you have to press it half a dozen times!

Its always raining when the Lioness try's to get in the car and I haven't unlocked her side  :D
