Remote key jammers

Another good reason to turn on the audible chirp function- at least you'll hear it has locked properly

Thieves are using radio jammers to steal from cars parked at motorway service stations, police have warned.
Thames Valley Police said the transmitters could be used to "interrupt" signals from remote keys, preventing vehicles from being locked properly.
The force said 14 recent thefts from lorries, vans and cars with "no obvious sign of a break-in" had been reported.
It advised motorists to check vehicles before leaving them unattended.

Don't think there is an audible chirp setting on the Golf remote.
If there is, I can't find it in the settings :undecided:

Door mirrors fold in on all mk7's indicating its been locked...
The chirp will be via VCDS.

Wondering if the CSS has come with folding mirrors. Anyone know ?

Yeah, it's a VCDS tweak, then you can turn it on and off via the headunit afterwards

Pretty sure it's not too hard to see the mirrors folding in or the indicators bleeping when locking a car. You can even hear the mechanical locks on the doors clicking in place.

I always look for the indicators flashing when I lock the car. Helps combat the OCD!
