Close your Windows Using the key

If you have left your windows open you can close them using the key just lock the car using the key and hold it for a few secs - windows will close.

You can also open the windows using the key just hold it for few secs.

(You can buy a device - KVW100 to allow full closure from the remote fob - http://www.vagproducts.co.uk/kvw.html )

read the bottom line of what you quoted

you need to BUY that KWP100 module and plug it in

or have you bought one and it still don't work?  :undecided:

One touch window

The mk4 has one touch window roll up, If you disconnect the battery you need to teach the window where the upper and lower limits are to make it work again.

So:

Open the window by HOLDING the button until the window reaches opens fully.
Then Close the window by HOLDING the button until window closes fully.

This only works on the passenger window any ideas??? cheers
