I have a 2001 B5.5 1.6 Petrol. I was reading the manual and it said that vehicles with central locking can control the windows when being outside the car (rotating the key to the lock/unlock position and the wi does will close/open). My Passat has central locking but this feature doesn't work...

Hi, I have not been able to find the VCDS hack to disable the feature in which the folding mirrors fold each time the car is locked and unfold each time it is unlocked. I have no need to fold my mirrors except during rare situations so would like to avoid the inevitable premature failure of...

Help? Do all B5.5s have "auto-roll up/down all windows with key in lock" feature? Hello, I am new to VWs, new here, and have no VAG-COM gear yet so I'm hoping for some help with getting this feature to work, if my car is even equipped with it. I just picked up an '05 Passat GLS (mfg late '04)...

I've found several threads about disabling the annoying auto lock feature on the VW Passat. Apperantly I need some software from VAG-COM to program this setting. I have a VW Passat v6 model 2003 My question is, how should I connect my laptop to the car? I apologize if this is a silly question...

Is there a way I can change the automatics lockinffeature without taking it to the dealer? It locks fine (10mph) but they don't automatically unlock when put into park or the key is taken out. The door handles need to be pulled or I need to press the unlock button. To open the doors without the...

Good evening every one. I'd like to know how difficult it would be to add keyless / remote locking feature to my 98/99 AEB Passat. All Passats sold here untill 1999 did not have keyless remote feature, except for the V6s. I've checked that my CCM part number is 1J0 959 799 H and that it looks...

i was driving into work today like i do everyday, but today was a balmy 30 degrees. i had my coat on, useful until the engine warms up enough to give out precious heat. i dropped my cell phone (not using it, i keep it in the door handle) and reached down to retrieve it. pulled my arm up, theres...

Well folks, Over here in Iowa we don't have many parking spots that aren't in lots. The other day I found myself having to parallel park for the first time since driving school. I think it would have been a total train wreck if I didnt have my side view mirror looking at the curb... Pretty...

This has been in the B6 for a year. OEM all black (no brushed metal), works like a charm, no scratches or dings. Asking $25 plus shipping anywhere. PM me here John

For those who haven't seen this, here's some photos I took of my buddy's car that landed him this FEATURE.... Enjoy! :thumbup:

So maybe I'm dumb, but I never noticed this in the 1+ year I've had my B6. When it rains, I almost never use the wipers fully 'on'. Always on intermittent mostly 'cuz I Aquapel my wind screen. No need for fully on wipers. So tonight I pull out of my office parking garage into a deluge. I...

Hey everybody, I've been searching this forum, tdiclub and the great google but couldn't find much relevant information on this. Our 05 passat tdi has one old and one new key. The new key works with the car perfeclty fine. Opens doors, trunk and locks them all. The old key only opens/closes...

I just purchased a 2008 passat and still learning all the idiosyncrasies of the VW. I discovered that when the door are locked, you can pull on the handle once, then pull again and the door opens! This really worries me as I have a daughter that rides in the back! Yes, I know I can place the...

Bangin’ B5: Branden Lugabihl’s B5 Passat

I have vag-com for my Passat Wagon and am wondering if there's a way to recode the car so that once I unlock and open the rear hatch, it doesn't automatically re-lock when I close it. I don't know how many times I've unlocked it from the door button, put something in, closed it, realized I...

Just saw his feature on juststance.com. Congrats to Mike Dominguez! :thumbup: Full feature: http://www.juststance.com/exclusive/miami-nice/

on my past cars, the recirculate function of the AC is usually on because of the bad air around here. however, on this car, the recirculate function seems to always turn off when i go to start the car in the morning. it doesn't do it everytime i start but it does do it sometimes. is there a...

this morning on my way to work I had to make an evasive stop. So as I slam on the brakes, and the ABS kicks in I also notice that my horn is honking on and off. When I come to a stop (pretty quickly I might add) that the horn stopped. Pretty cool feature so you don't have to worry about...

So i was very excited to install LED light bulbs into my car today when they came in the mail, After some trouble i installed all 5 bulbs in (3 driver passenger bulbs, and the 2 rear courtesy light bulbs) As soon as i got done the 4th bulb, they all turned off, then i noticed the windows werent...
