cardaft Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Needs to be turned on using vag-com or similar style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Lee.Really, that seems slightly complicated. I was kind of sure that i programmed mine to lock when i got it, but couldnt remember how to do it. I know with our renaults all you do is keep the lock button pressed for a few seconds, but that didnt work, so it seems you maybe right lol.

cardaft Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I enquired at my local vw specialist today and they said they could probably do it but i would need to get the code for it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> So anyway i think ill take it to the stealer tomorrow, surely they wont charge much, also want them to take out my radio.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardaft Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) Well i took my car to VW today to get it programmed to lock automatically. However they could not get into the electronics on the car with the computer, they said Seat must use different codes or there is a fault with my car (hope not style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> ). Anyway so i forced myself to book it into my local seat stealer (something i would rather not do). Well i think its going to be a 10 min job but ofcourse my local, ultra-unreliable, seat dealer cannot spare 10 mins for another 2 weeks style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> , just typical of them style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> .Ill let you know how it goes in two weeks then.Chris Edited September 22, 2006 by cardaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Well on the day its supposed to be going in for the programming its booked in somewhere else to have the cambelt changed and some other bits and pieces. So im cancelling the seat garage as thats the only day i can spare the car for a few weeks, anyway the garage im taking it to said they could program it but they would need the code to enter to set the locking. Dont suppose anyone would know it or knows how i could find it out style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petes 16V Sport Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 STOP STOP STOP I got mine done for free by "VWR lupo", using VAG COM software, I think its just the case of a check box on the software so they are ripping you off! It takes less than 2 minutesGo to a vw specialist, they'll no doubt have vag com somewhere, and be able to use it to do it very cheaply if not free. and yes... VW and seat can both use VAG com, as we found out at the leicester meet!Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petes 16V Sport Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 hmm I still think its a relatively simple check box on VAG COM rather than a code :| probably best to send a PM to "VWR Lupo" as he knows how to do it and so will advice you on what to do!

lunalupi Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Really, you don't have to take it to SEAT - Luke was doing it in a few minutes, and if you do need a code then he must know it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will he know the seat code, as it seems they are different coded.The VW dealer did say that either the codes are different for the seat or there is a fault with my car, but eveything seems fine, i might take it along to the VAG specialist to see if he can even get into the codes in my car. Do you think the SEAT dealer will charge even if there is a fault with my car and they carnt do it?Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I would seriouslay ask VWR, as it can't be a different code for each car if Luke was setting it up on several cars one after the other.Maybe its something to do with it being a TDI? Only thing I could think of, but can't imagine why it would make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes 16V Sport Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 mate I really think they've told you a load of crap, but speak to Luke (VWR Lupo) and see what he says. At the leicester meet he was going from car to car (lupo and arosa) just activating it using the central port under the ashtray. I didn't know you could get it on lupos until he did it for me. Looking at what he did on the computer i'm pretty sure he just checked a box on the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
