Galaxy Auto Locking

[paj]

Is there a way to program the central locking on a Galaxy to lock doors automatically when the vehicle starts moving? (as used to combat car-jacking). My Laguna has this function but my wife's Galaxy does not.

Afraid not ..... just get her into the habit of locking it from the inside before she drives off.

Someone did have a link for sorting this problem out, but it didn't work. Could someone please post it? Thanks.

[gregers]

yes it can be achieved ive read it on the net somewhere,i think you need to be an absolute whizz with a computer and the relative software,why dont you just get into the habit of pushing the handle in.

Dear Friends

 

Yes it is possibe to do it. After 1 years search for solution, I have now it from several months working perfectly.

 

See the link

Is this possible using Vag-Com? When I look at channel 3 & channel 4 in adaptation it shows channel not available?

 

I have seen some references to VDS-Pro but I would prefer not to buy another software package and I do not clearly understand the instructions in german or spanish.

 

Is there a simple guide on how to do this?

at least your vagcom talks to your central locking mine wont :lol:

[MrT]

It does not talk to controller "35-Centr Locks" as shown on the Vag-Com screen but through "09 Cent. Elec." where it can see the status of the doors etc. Maybe this is the problem, I should be talking to 35 which I cannot?

[lazyb5]

hmmm i will try tomorrow night on module 9. I was just wondering if the ford diaqgnostic system wds or ids would talk to the central locking module but i cant even find a shareware version. Does anybody know how to use vagcom properly and what all the things do? Edited February 5, 2008 by lazyb5

Dear Friends

 

In the Galaxy/Sharan/ Alhambra cars the 35 does not exist, it is replaced by the module 09.

 

All of this cars are recognized by Vag-com, if not I

[MrT]

Finally I have got this to work.

 

Adaptation in VAG-COM or any other program will not work on my car.

 

The only way I could do this was to directly write to the EPROM of the controller 09 Cent Elec using VDS-Pro (A DOS based program that does not work under Windows) and my VagCom lead

 

To access the EPROM you need a suitable program and need to login to the unit using code 21318

 

The address you need to write to is 61002 where the default code is 160.

 

BIT 0 (add 1 to default 160) enables some sort of automatic locking but I am not sure what.

BIT 1 (add 2) enables the automatic locking above a certain speed

BIT 2 (add 4) enables automatic unlocking when removing the key after the engine has been run

BIT 3 (add 8) does something with the alarm but I dont know what

BIT 4 (add 16) enables a brief horn beep when locking

BIT 5 (add 32) enables "intermittentes" closing but I am not sure what this is

BIT 6 (add 64) enables a brief horn beep when unlocking

BIT 7 (add 128) enables "intermittentes" opening but I am not sure what this is

 

The speed at which the door locks in Km/h is at address 60993 and the default value is 14.

 

If anyone can clarify the unknowns it would be of use to me.

Mr T

Is your Vag Com lead usb or serrial I D/L'd VDS Pro but the software will not see my VC USB lead.

Cheers.

[Beyond Help?]

VDS Pro does not work over USB, only serial.

[NikpV]

i didnt think that DOS (and so DOS programs) know anything about USB (not heard of any drivers)

[Justice]

Thanks you 2 that would explain things :o.

[Justice]

What if I were to get a USB to serrial cconverter do you think it would work ?. Edited March 10, 2008 by Justice

[MrT]

A USB to serial convertor would only work if there were DOS drivers for it and I do not think there are.
