Re-pairing remote key?

[clarkeg]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to repair a key?

I have just had the feature enable via vagcom to enable the windows to go up and down when you hold down the lock/unlock buttons via the remote. The feature now works if I physically lock/unlock the car via the doors lock but the guy who done it for me says he thinks you have to do something about repairing the remote key to the car to allow the feature via the remote.

Thanks
Clarke

You shoudn't need to. Mines works fine with both the remote and the key in.

Did you have to enable this feature with your car or did it come as standard?

Does anyone else have any ideas?

In DanGB's most excellent Leon mk2 VAGCOM Guide, it suggests that there are different bits that need setting to enable the automatic closing/opening via both key and remote:

Automatic Window Closing/Opening
This enables all the windows to close or open if you hold down the lock/unlock button on the keyfob, and or holding closed/open the keylock on the door
I have found on newer cars (MY07?) these features are already active, but on my MY0 I had to activate it.

Module 46 - Central Conv.
Coding
Byte 4
bit 0 - Comfort opening power windows via door lock active
bit 2 - Comfort opening power windows via remote control active
bit 3 - Comfort closing power windows via door lock active
bit 5 - Comfort closing power windows via remote control active

Perhaps your man just enabled the key method and not the remote control method? As far as I know, if the remote works to lock/unlock the car as usual, then no further 'pairing' is required, although I'm no expert.

Cheers for the reply but I specifically remember him going into that particular coding and ticking both closing and opening of windows via the remote and the door lock

Hi, my leon is a 2006 140 TDI reference sport, I spoke to my local seat dealership and they said it should work so its booked in on Tuesday to get it up and running

I'll let you know if they get it to work and what they needed to do.

O right nice one! Please do!

Well just an update, the total closure doesn't work on my car, my leon is an 06 model and according to my seat dealership this feature wasn't introduced until 07 models as they have electric windows both front and back and electric folding mirrors.
