Key Fob Hints & 'Tricks' .... eh?

[DrewB]

Morning forum people,

So last night I watched youtube with eager excitement. There were several videos regarding 'fun' & 'tricks' to be had via the key fob.

My car won't play ball, i tried everything atleast twice, but no, my car doesn't want to open and close all of the windows and sunroof, or any of the other fun stuff.

Whats going on here ?

Many TIA for any replies

You have to point it at the drivers side sensor. - I have them on my channel explaining how you do them

Excuse my ignorance, whereabouts on my door is the sensor ?

Nice channel BTW

Just on or around your doorhandle (drivers)

And you need to be fairly close.

I guess that I'm screwed for the boot closing trick then I was sitting in the car with my hand on the boot switch

So last night,with renewed vigour I went out to try again with my key fob and car. Several attempts,with the key fob on the door handle, with me leaning against the drivers door, with me standing back from the door by 50cm and …

Nothing, nowt, squat.

My CLA obviously wasn’t privy to these extras unless anyone else knows differently

Anyone think a factory reset of everything will help at all?

Just ignore this "feature"

It rarely if ever works reliably.
