A4 automatic locking function
I have an A4 2.5 TDi year 2003. The handbook (p 5 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?

Hi Alistair,
Well if it's like the TT, the autolock function that you speak of can be
enabled via the VAGCOM port. 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.

Re: A4 automatic locking function
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".
