Tipex Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Every car I've had in the last ten years, Fords, Skoda's etc, has this function, after you turn the lights and engine off, flash the headlights, when you open the door, the lights come on for a minute or so. I would imagine an Audi would be the same, given the Skoda did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 The Audi's do this if its spec'ed with auto lights I think it is but not as default that would be far to generous. I don't think he has it included and wants to know how he can retro add it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy786 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yes sorry for confusion...would like a retro fit...this definetely isnt a existing feature already on the car and i dont have auto lights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 It must just be a VAG com setting I'd have thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No as the lights only switch on when its dark for which they need a sensor, so whilst you can turn it on the system would need both inputs to actually switch the lights on.

Tipex Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 My Skoda didn't have auto lights or a light sensor? You just gave the lights a flash and they'd come on for 30 seconds. Maybe i'm misunderstanding something here, but you just want the lights to come on for a short while whilst you get out of the car and walk to your front door or whatever? Surely if the Skoda did it without any hardware, the Audi should too if the coding is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy786 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yes thats what i want...and also for them to come on when i unlock the car untill the drivers door is opened or ignition turned etc...i really dont mind if they still come on in daylight aswell. If its just vagcom coding do you know anyone with one? I live in bedfordshire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity the sensor on my drivers door doesn't work, otherwise this would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful you don't lock the keys inside - the car relocks itself after two minutes if you don't open a door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magown3 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Only if you have remote locking... I, unfortunately, don't. It's a 97 B5 Quattro :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
