Hello, I have two questions about my wife's Polo 6R (BEB-00114), which has a 66kW gasoline engine.
Is it possible to program "Coming Home" and "Leaving Home" functions using a suitable software program?
Is it possible to program the car so that the doors automatically lock when it starts moving? I'm not sure what this feature is called.

The workshop says it's not possible.


I would appreciate it if someone could answer this for me.

Thank you very much. Best regards, Pit.

Hello Pit,

The automatic door locking feature at speeds above 15 km/h should not be a problem. Regarding the rest, it's difficult to say much, as this requires support from the relevant control units. At least a system scan would be necessary.
Perhaps someone will come forward with a vehicle like that.

Best regards, Rainer.

CH/LH only works if the vehicle has the rain/light sensor. This is indicated by the "Auto" setting on the light switch.
If that's not present, it won't work because, in the 6R, the lighting is "hardwired," meaning it doesn't go through a control unit. At least, that was the case with my old 6R Highline.

It supports secure locking/unlocking, and depending on the configuration, it may also offer a few other features.

Hi Turbinchen, it has a rain sensor, but it doesn't have an "auto" setting on the headlight switch, so it probably won't work.
"Safe Lock/Unlock would be a good start, but what other features would be beneficial?"
Thank you and best regards.
Pit.

Here's the translation:

Volume of the parking assistance system, seatbelt warning, windshield wiper activation, enable MFA (Multi-Function Display) if the conditions are met, and with the rain sensor, it's likely that the windshield wipers can also be automatically activated.

It all depends on the equipment and the control units installed.

Greetings.

Hello Rainer,
Here's the Auto-Scan file for the Polo. I'll try to enable the Auto Lock/Auto Unlock function in the next few days.
Has anyone had any experience with Polo or tried that before?
Best regards,
Pit

Yes, it's mine.

- Auto-lock enabled.
- Using the NSW (New South Wales) light as a turn signal doesn't offer much benefit in terms of visibility.
- Turning light active up to approximately 70 km/h.
- Hazard lights activate upon full braking.
- Flashing brake lights are activated during emergency braking.
and also unlocked a few other features on the navigation system (Bluetooth, hands-free system, DAB).

Hello Bloesch,
Thanks for the information. I've now tried to enable the auto-lock/unlock feature and disabled the headlight washer function, let's see if it works.
I also find the feature about the hazard lights activating during hard braking interesting. I once tried to activate the signaling function when opening and closing the car, but it sounded awful because it used the regular car horn. I deactivated it again.
Thank you very much, and best regards.
Pit.

For LH and CH, there are modules available from various providers, including those from China. This allows it to function. Alternatively, you can convert to a BNS system with a LIN bus, as is used in vehicles with start-stop systems or GTI models.

Best regards,
Uwe.

Hello Uwe,
Thank you for the information, but modifications or accessories seem too complicated for me; the CH/LH functionality isn't that important to me.
The automatic lock/unlock feature is working, thank you.
Best regards,
Pit
