Auto boot locking

[herishi]

Anyone know how to disable the automatic locking for the boot?

Really annoying if you unlock boot from keyfob then put your keys in your boot and close it! hey presto your cold and wet without a ride home!

I know it's natural selection if you lock your key in the boot you deserve to walk home etc but still annoying

Try adding a 1 to the coding...

46 - Central Covenience: -- 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 odd number. To make all doors unlock, add 1 to the coding.

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 Unlock, turn signals flash

The problem is not that it only unlocks the boot it's that when you close the boot again it locks it's self. I have a 3 button remote if it makes any odds.

I know what you mean, there is nothing listed to turn it off, but maybe it would come with a more basic central locking setting.

I agree it is a stupid feature, probably put on to satisfy the American market.

I quite like the feature although most of the time I unlock the whole car even if just going into the boot. You could still end up in trouble if you lock the car with the boot open - as soon as the lid shuts, it will be locked. I guess the best thing is to always put the keys in you pocket or in the ignition. You can't go wrong unless you forget which pocket you put the key in! I did that once and I thought I'd lost the key some where - stupid

Hi. locked keys in boot while unpacking on holiday far from home. Had to call an AA technician - specialist locksmith - who found it was a hard job to get in vis unpicking driver's door (up to 10 "wafers" inside with one problematic one( - took 2 hours. Definately do not like this feature with Skoda Superb
