Auto-locking the doors when driving

Featured Replies

Hi there everyone. I´m a new one. Got a Octavia Scout 2.0D. Great car.

Would appreciate if you could help me. I´ve notest you know every single detail about the car.

The thing is: I know there is a way to program the car so that, when you reach a certain velocity (minimum, I believe), it locks the doors in a automatic way, with no need for you to press the button. This is a security measure that I believe important because there are many car roberys that are made while people are waiting in traffic, for example.

I´ve tried already to press continuously in the locking door but didn´t get anything. Any ideas?

Sorry the "bad english".

Thanks.

Using the Long Coding Helper select Byte 0 Bit 3 and tick Enable Auto Unlock When Key Removed From Ignition.

Using the Long Coding Helper select Byte 0 Bit 4 and tick Enable Auto Lock From 15kmph.

More information on how to code your car with VAGCOM can be found here Octavia-vRS.com - Octavia II Controller Coding

Or if you have Maxidot you can set it in there. Can't remember what the setting is tho.

If you have maxi-dot, it's under Convenience > Door Open (or similar)

Auto Close - Does as you ask, and locks the doors at about 5mph

Auto Open - Unlocks the door again when you switch off, and remove your key from the ignition. (As long as you haven't manually changed the locking state since you started off)

Or if you don't have maxidot your dealer can set it.

BTW you can only do it in Maxidot on 07models or later.

Thanks guys just been out in the cold and tried it. Didn't really understand what door open meant, and as such didn't touch it been for a drive and"!clunk" doors locked something else from America? Now we need the button on the key fob to sound the horn so you can find your car in the MSCP.

Best we get is a single beep on arming - again settable within Maxidot ;)

You can make the car chirp when locking/unlocking as well - 2 chirps for unlock and one for lock.

Usually a VAG-COM setup though.

Have a look at my post here, http://www.briskoda.net/forums/diagnostics-vag-com/vag-com-codes/55620/

Might be different on the newer versions ;)

Thanks everyone. I´ll try it latter.

Anti Hijack is an US thing but tbh I don't think it's really needed in the UK unless you guys drive through some REALLY rough areas, locking the car doors makes it a lot harder for someone to pull you out in the event of an accident.

(if you are in an area that makes you feel unsafe is it that hard to reach down and press the lock button????)

on impact the doors will un lock ,this is normaly done by the air bag controle ecu
