daycartes Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi folks I'm new to this newsgroup. Can anyone tell me more about the anti jack setting on my 2003 A4. Can I reset it myself or does it have to be a garage job. Thanks in advance and - - happy 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daycartes Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 thanks for replying so quickly Allen. Forgive my ignorance but just what do I pull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhodgkinson Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Is this the one where the car autolocks the doors above 15 mph? If so it's either a dealer job, or a mod by a friendly TSN'r with VAGCOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I can think of 2 things you might be thinking about: 1) there's a switch on the drivers door that disables the tilt sensor (which senses when the car is being jacked up) next time (only) the car is locked. 2) the anti-hijacking locking of the doors whenever the car exceeds a few mph (I don't think it's as high as 15mph). That needs setting by either the dealer or someone with VAG-COM (I did my own). Which do you mean? - or even something different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 PetrolDave, i think your find that the 1) you mention is to disable the internal sensors. Ie so you can leave a window open, animals moving about inside the car whilst it is locked. The auto lock , or anti hijack is a dealer or vagcom enabled feature as mentioned. Ive done it on my S3, and on Danksy's A4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] There's 2 switches on the drivers door of my S4 (and the A4 and S4 before) - one disables the interior sensor (as you describe), and the other disables the tilt sensor (as I described). As I said I enabled the "lock when moving" feature using VAG-COM myself some months ago. So, in my experience of owning an A4 and 2 S4's, there is two features that could be what have been described in this thread ("anti-jack")- I was seeking clarification of which of the two is being asked about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sorry Dave!, I stand corrected! I dont have said feature or ever seen it Ive enabled everything within the locking options iirc. Locking confirmation Beep. (very handy wouldnt be without it) Autolock. Two button unlocking. Windows up/down with remote was already set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratty31 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 If anyone wants a trip to Swindon I'll enable the speed locking feature..it comes highly reccommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 daycartes - can you clarify what you meant by "anti jack" please (so we can be sure if we've answered your question or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Sorry Dave!, I stand corrected!

daycartes Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi Thanks to all who have answered this thread. To clarify then its the second option ie the anti hijacking mode where the car locks itself when you are doing 5mph. I have had this set by my local audi dealer for the princely sum of £38, which is quite steep I think, if it is just the flick of a switch. If it is more complicated then the cost is justified to some extent. I am curious as to how it is done and would like to know how, so that I can reverse the setting at some time in the future. Once again thanks for the replies and sorry for the delay in my response to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 It is set by connecting up the diagnostic computer and altering a single setting - takes less than five minutes. A number of people on here have VAG-COM, which emulates the dealer's diagnostic system. I have never charged anyone for use of VAG-COM. If you are in reach of one of the local meets, then you'll probably find someone there who has VAG-COM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
