Passat (B6) :: Both Front Doors No Longer Can Be Unlocked From Outside
Question for the group. I've searched on this and found a few others had the issue but didn't see a definitive cause listed. Both front doors no longer can be unlocked from the outside of the car (interior handles still work). It started with the driver's side and then an hour later "spread" to the passenger side front door. What would seem to be specific cause. I don't know much about the mechanisms that control the electronic locks (or even where they are housed) so need to know the cause and remedy for this.
View 2 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Back Seat Doors Don't Open Unless Front Door Is Unlocked
I rarely drive with anyone else in my 2004 Prius. This week we've had out-of-town guests, with two people in the back seat. When the doors are locked, the front seat passenger can pull on the handle to open the door, but the back seat passengers can't open their doors with the handle until someone in one of the front seats pushes the door unlock button. The child safety locks are not set. I keep getting out of my car and forgetting to push the button to let the back seat passengers open their doors. Is there anything I can do to change this rear door behavior?
View 2 RepliesPrius V :: Two Beeps Means All Doors Are Unlocked
The manual lists a ton of personalized settings that either you or the dealer can set. Problem is, I can't find in the manual where it describes how to set these personalized settings.
I found that you can set the smart door unlock so that it unlocks all doors instead of just the drivers side. It's pretty easy. You just get close to the car and hold lock and unlock down for about 5 seconds on your key fob. After 5 seconds you will hear two beeps. Two beeps means that all the doors unlock now when you use the smart door. Three beeps means only the drivers side door opens.
Camry :: 2010 LE - Headlights On When Doors Are Unlocked With Fob
I have a 2010 Camry LE. I would like to make the headlights come on when I unlock the doors with the fob button. The interior lights come on now (briefly) but not the headlights. Is this customizable?
View 1 RepliesPrius C :: Doors Always Unlocked From Inside Handle?
I've just now noticed that even when my doors are locked, if I or a passenger pulls on the door handle from inside, the door will automatically unlock and open. On one hand, it seems convenient that we don't always have to be messing with unlocking it before getting out but on the other hand, it seems like it could be dangerous if we accidentally grab the handle thinking the door is locked while driving...

Just bought a 2013 ES300H. My question is there a setting that will keep the trunk unlocked when the car doors are unlocked when I do not have my key fob. I am all the time in the garage and will try to open the trunk and it is locked. My previous car an Acura RL was set liked this.

I have replaced the battery and determined that with the key turned off and doors unlocked the battery drain settles down to 130 milliamp after 60 seconds. If you lock the doors it settles down to the expected 20 milliamps after 60 seconds. Any description of what functions are turned off by locking the doors?

View 2 RepliesPhaeton :: Interior Lights Don't Come On When Car Is Unlocked / Door Opened
Car is a UK 2004 W12.
I've tried everything I can think of or find to get them working but the interior lights won't come on automatically. They work if I turn them on manually, or once I'm in if I press the 'door open' button on the lights they will work when the doors are open.
But surely they should come on when the car is unlocked like every other car? It's getting quite annoying getting into a car in total darkness!
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Front 4x4 Axle Still Turn When Unlocked
I am not up on the exact operation of the hub lock/unlock on superdutys but when following them, I can see the front axles still turning with the wheel. So even with them "disengaged" they still turn with the wheels?
If that is the way they are designed to do, why? Seems like efficiency could be gained by having them actually disengaged when not needed. And save wear on the inner housing seals.
Prius (Gen 2) :: All Doors Lock When Start Car And Front Doors Unlock When Turn It Off
After going through a car wash my Prius has started locking all doors when I start the car and unlocking driver's and passenger front doors when I turn it off. Kind of wondering how this could happen, but since I like it that way I don't really want to change it back. Is there a way to toggle this and can I change it so that rear doors and hatchback unlock also when I turn the car off?
View 7 RepliesFord Excursion :: 2005 - Front Doors Near Lower End With Cladding Not Match Up With Rear Doors
I currently have an 05 Limited X and I've also noticed this on other 05 X's as well. The front driver and passenger side doors near the lower end with the cladding doesn't seem to match up with the rear doors. This goes for both driver and passenger front doors. I at first thought maybe it was just on the X I have but this is something I've taken notice of on just about all of the 05 Limited's I've looked at. What I'm referring to with the front doors being popped out a small bit and not matching up or being perfectly aligned with the rear doors?
I've had an 01 Limited and the doors wasn't anywhere near how mis-aligned they seem to be on the 05 Limited's. I haven't checked years between or XLT's. But on almost or pretty much all 05 Limited's I'm noticing this. Some are not as bad as others or as noticeable as others. But for some reason they all seem to pop out a little towards the bottom. When I speak of doors I'm referring to the doors itself, not the cladding/molding sticking out.

View 4 RepliesPhaeton :: Doors Won't Lock Either By Switch Or By Fob
Had a CEL and went to Autozone to have them read the code. Guy cleared the code then the car wouldn't start and it locked the key in the ignition. After a minute, it started, but now the doors will not lock either by switch or by fob. They don't lock at speed. Also the soft-close system is failing to work on all four doors. Did this dude wipe out my lock programming or something? The alarm still works but the doors won't lock and the child lockout buttons don't work either. Maybe I should get a programming tool?
View 4 RepliesPhaeton :: Unlock All Doors When Turning Off Ignition
I have a busy family and often the kids are getting in the car with my wife and I. Perhaps I am just not used to the remote yet, but I am still struggling with the timing of the second button push and getting it to unlock the balance of the doors. I would prefer if the first button pressed unlocked ALL my doors and I didn't need the second press.
Is this a dealer only option to enable or can it be done with a via VAG COM? I have read the post about the "unlock all doors when turning off the ignition" and I am going to hopefully get the car coded to touching the door handle unlocks all four doors at once, but would also like this directly from the remote.

My Phaeton has been parked in my garage locked for about 10 days and the remote will not open the doors. Additionally the key will not go in the key slot in the door. Not sure why that would be an issue. I can open the trunk but the Alarm goes off when I do that!
What can I do to get in the car. The remote shows a green light so I know that battery is good but and the flashing door lights flash.
