What changes

Unit 09, object 0A65: byte 0, bit 3 = 1. The key fob buttons lock and unlock the car even while the engine is running.

Details

Handy for leaving the car locked while it warms up. Setting of the newer MQB body control module; on the older module the same option is object 0D08, byte 0, bit 0, so a3c refuses there before writing. Unit 09 on MQB Evo is SFD-protected — a token for unit 09 is needed. Roll back by writing the object backup from history.

  2. Odyx scans the units, recognises the car and shows what is on and what can be enabled.
  3. Open the feature card: before / after / how to check, and the change plan.
  4. Confirm the write. A backup is made automatically; put it back from the logbook any time.
