remote boot closure

[RossDagley]

I read somewhere it's possible on the keyfob and drivers door switch in the C7 (I think?) via VCDS. Anyone done it on the B8? I don't have my VCDS handy to go trawling through it but want to research.

Ta!

I'd love this on my C6... there's a company (cant remember the name) that sell a module in order to do this but i too havent really seen much info so i'll watch this space for anything coming up!

[RossDagley]

Mike will know - just waiting for him to pop online and see the thread

[MikeFish]

Yes done it on my C7. Pretty sure it must be possible on the B8 too. I'll look up the details when I'm on a PC later.

So for the C7 this is what I did:

Close electric boot lid from key
[Select]
[46 - Cent Conv]
[Coding - 07]
Click on byte 2, bit 2
Tick Comfort operation: Remote control active
[Do It!]

[Select]
[4D - Trunk Elec]
[Security Access - 16]
Input 12345
[Adaption - 10]
Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key - Touch function for closing
Change to ACTIVE
[Do It!]

However, both of these functions were already in this state when I went in there so no changes actually made at this stage.


What actually made the difference was checking 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 resulted in:
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.


However, I notcied that if the engine is on (maybe even ignition) the keyfob will not start the boot to open. If part open, pressing the remote will stop it opening and another press will close it, or a long press will make it carry on opening for as long as you press the button (until it reaches the top position). I guess this is a safety feature to stop you long pressing the button in your pocket while driving and opening the boot (not sure if it would open anyway, even if you hit the switch, I imagine it is locked out whilst moving over a certain speed).
You also get the lorry reversing type beeps when closing the boot remotely.

Not sure if this works for the B8 (or similar codes). Remember the C7 has the facility to closie the booth from the remote if you have the advanced key so it was just a case of changing the code. Was there such an opotion with the B8? If so then it must be possible, if not then it could still be possible.

Cheers Mike.

My mate has my bloody laptop for VCDS at the moment so I'll need to wait a few days to check this. But I'll report back

[DeanoC]

Did this ever work guys? One of a few niggles i'm trying to work through with VCDS

[RossDagley]

I never tested it I'm afraid before selling the RS4.

[miatang]

My friend did his C7 bi turbo with VCDS but couldnt replicate it on my B8

[DeanoC]

Tried it. Security code 12345 does not work on 6D trunk elec [PENSIVE FACE]

[MikeFish]

I didn't think the security code would be the same but thought the process might be. Anyone tried to google for the security code for this module on the B8?

[miatang]

My friends seems to think the module is not present in the B8 hence why it wont work

[MikeFish]

Ah OK.
