Turning off interior alarm
- Thread starter Dt-spd
- Start date
Press key fob once to lock and immediately press and hold for 2 secs.
This should deactivate the interior alarm sensor (and the anti-tow/tilt sensing iirc). The alarm will return to normal monitoring the next time the car is locked.
Edit: Mine requires the long 2nd push, try the suggestion above as well and see which works for you. Whichever works, it's very easy and hopefully answers your Q.

Good point about the mirrors. I do the same to retract the mirrors but never realised I'd be disabling the internal sensors. Great design! I hope there are no opportunist car theives reading this.
Q1) If you press and hold the button to fold the mirrors, how many times have you pressed the button?
Q2) How many times do you need to press the button to disable the alarm?
Q3) Do you think pressing and holding the button to fold the mirrors, then pressing it again afterwards would disable the alarm?
Q4) Am I a sarcastic t**t?
Answers on a postcard to..........
some good comments BikerI tend to press lock once then press and hold again to fold mirrors, so my query is have I inadvertently been disabling the interior scanning.
I guess from your comment that I can just press and hold to lock and fold mirrors without disabling interior alarm. I didnt know that was the case, I've always pressed once then press and hold to fold mirrors
As for Q4 , you are sarcastic but I can see why, my post didnt really make sense
That is a good point mate, in that instance you probably have disabled the alarm.
You can just press the button to lock the car and keep it pressed, this will fold the mirrors.
you will have missed it due to the low level washer fluid light distracting you...... No......ah
Posts not making sense will fit in well here, any sense made is normally by accident.....

I actually have a warning for the washer fluid

Sure it's a Winter pack option like the Octavia and Golf.I actually have a warning for the washer fluid
Show off.....
I actually have a warning for the washer fluid
The golf GTD I had didn't have winter pack but had low washer fluid warning. I reckon they fit the low washer fluid light when headlight washers are installed?
It is a handy feature that imo should be standard as it's not easy to check washer fluid level manually.
I thought the Winter pack was headlight washers and heated jets?
The headlight washers use 5hit loads of washer fluid. Changed them via VCDS to only squirt when I've held the windscreen washer jets on for 2 seconds.
My previous golf had headlight washers as it had xenon lights (but no winter pack) so I think that's why it had the low fluid warning. I had a Ibiza with winter pack and that had headlight washers and the heated jets but no low fluid level warning
So press once and hold for mirror folding
That also closes the windows if still opened too.
I would like to know this. I can't find the button to disable it, how you found it?
What about folding the mirrors? The manual shows a physical button. If I push the button twice to deactivate the interior sensors are the doors still protected?
