Auto lock/unlock doors

[AEM]

Hi

Just had my new DAB delivered and the auto lock/unlock of the doors has not been turned on.

I seem to remember I read a few years ago when I had my last Ibiza that some kind of combination of pressing the central locking button on the drivers door can activate / deactivate this feature.

Anyone know if this is right and how to do it, or am I going to have to trail back to the dealers?

Cheers

I've not heard of a button pressing combination that does this....only ever changed it with vag-com.

I suspect a trip to the dealers is in order unless you have vag-com or know someone nearby who has.

It's a new car.
The only thing you have to do is put in fuel and wash it!
The dealer should offer a collection/delivery service.
Give them a ring and forget about doing the work your self.
You paid for a warranty, take advantage of it.

your dealer should be only too glad to do it for free mate

edit

be careful as some insurance company's won't pay out if you get car jacked as the auto lock should be on

Mine is the same.
I forgot to ask the dealer to turn it on.
On my Renault Clio you could turn it on yourself and also selsct at which speed it locked the doors.
On my Crossfire I was able to change the way the doors unlock by holding both buttons on the remote down for a couple of seconds.

yeah, it won't be long before you get a 12 inch lcd screen as your instrument cluster with a full desktop menu system on it

just imagine, screen savers, little digital pets crawling round your dials, silly little paperclips popping up and even more silly little error messages that go DONG!
