Disabling boot release button on remote fob
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2016 11:25 pm
Is there any way of disabling the boot release button on the remote fob?
Yes, it's just another way of accessing the car's built in options. VCDS does it via a laptop and USB cable (typically), whereas as this app does it via your phone / tablet and a £3 bluetooth OBD adapter. Much cheaper and (seemingly) easier way of doing it, but probably not all options available. I've never used it but I intend on giving it a go with the new car (doesn't list the B7 as a supported vehicle).HPsauce wrote:That just looks like the normal stuff you can turn on and off with VCDS.
Parked mine in Cheltenham about 3 weeks ago, on a friends drive while we had lunch with them. Keys in my pocket, nothing unusual. Came out a few hours later to find the boot wide open.....geoffdunk wrote:Yes, it can be disabled by using the Carista app, but why?
There is probably a similar set of codes for the B8. If so, look for the 2 commands that say:MikeFish wrote:
Check that both tap and touch are not activated at the same time:
6D – Trunk electronics
Security access – 16 = 12345
Address 6D:4G9 959 107 A recoded (ADP-(4)-Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key-Tap function for closing) from not active to active
Address 6D:4G9 959 107 A recoded (ADP-(3)-Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key-Touch function for closing) from active to not active
Address 6D:4G9 959 107 A recoded (ADP-(4)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch-Tap function for closing) from not active to active
Address 6D:4G9 959 107 A recoded (ADP-(3)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch-Touch function for closing) from active to not active
This will result:
remote opening – long press - touch
remote closing – short press - tap
door closing – short press – tap
Touch = long press is set for opening to prevent accidentally opening the hatch.
Exactly this! Il have to ask audi when it's in for service.mikeyw wrote:Parked mine in Cheltenham about 3 weeks ago, on a friends drive while we had lunch with them.

Can only assume something in my pocket pressed the boot open, but I'll certainly be looking to disable this function !!! I can see why you might!
That had nothing to do with the key fob. Your car just hates the smell of you!bam_bam wrote:While you're at it disable the roll windows down when holding the unlock button. I hated coming outside to the car with all windows down.
