A4 automatic locking function
I have an A4 2.5 TDi year 2003. The handbook (p 58) says there is a
facility to automatically activate the central locking when the car goes over 15Kph. "Should you wish to activate the automatic locking function on your vehicle, a qualified workshop can do this for you". Can anyone tell me please - is this something I can do myself and if so how? |

If you have any friends with a laptop/VAGCOM software/cable it can be done very easily. If not, dealers will do it for you, but some do charge. It's certainly a worthwhile function to have. Moley |

I've seen mention of a whole variety of these optional settings but Audi
themselves provide no information which surprises me. Is it a case of they really don't want us to know and use them or is it just that they can't be bothered documenting the options ? They could provide a list ending with "consult dealer if you would like any of these settings changed". "al1" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... >I have an A4 2.5 TDi year 2003.
