New owner help
 

afternoon all,
just picked up my 1.5 r impreza 2010 model and im wondering if someone can give me some help here, it has a stupid door lock 'feature' whereby you have to press unlock 2 times to open all doors, i hate this option and am wonering if anyone know if it can be turned off at all

cheers

Hello mate and welcome.

This is a security feature, designed to ensure that you don't get an unwelcome passenger jumping in the car before you get it the driving seat.

I wouldn't mess about with it myself, due to possible insurance etc. issues if it gets nicked.

An aftermarket alarm etc. might sort it.

Our inventive Amercian friends apparently have found a way, tho' this advice is for a bugeye, as you'll see (they don't appear to have found a way around later models).

It does show how easy it is to do though......... :cuckoo: :lol1:

Most VW's have this as standard.

Good idea as far as I am concerned. You only have to press it twice!

I can guess where this is heading....... :D

As it happens the same way as the NASIOC threads. Quite amusing, some of the posts.

There's one which says "I've told the wife that it's one click for one door and 4 clicks for all 4. That way she'll give the fob enough time between the two clicks needed".
