One touch window closure programming

efrancis · Jan 11, 2005

The body earthing strap failed last night, therefore i lost all electricity in the car. Got it sorted by the VW recovery (top job!) but have noticed that the one touch window operation is no longer working.

Only the other day i'm sure i saw something where you can reprogram it. Does anyone have a set of instructions or know how to do this please?

Im sure it resets itself after you turn the ignition on/off a few times ? Did for me anyway !

Nope thats been done quite a few times and it still not working.

I'm certain i read something that involved a combination of turns with the key in the lock. I tried searching, can't find it again.

You can close the windows by turning the key & holding it in place for a few seconds, but you cant close them from the remote, unless you've fitted an Autowindow module, cost about 60quid from Awesome.

But amazingly, I have one for sale, brand new & unused, with full instructions etc etc, yours for 45quid [

PM me If your interested

Jace,

Which autowindow module do you have?

PJ · Jan 11, 2005

Jace, he's talking about opening and closing the windows with one touch on the door/window switch which needs to be reset when the battery has been disconnected. I think the correct procedure does involve using the key though I'm not sure how. I've always just fully opened then fully closed the windows with the ignition on which works on mine.

The basic one, its 45quid plus 5 P&P plus vat from awesome, which is 58.75.

Agree with PJ, you just need to move the window all the way down and up a couple of times for it to relearn.

Yup thats what i mean - i'll give it a go. Thanks for the help.

On VX models (don't swear) you just hold the window shut with the control for a couple of seconds - is that not the case here?

Are you sure about that? My '00 GIT used to close all windows and sunroof when locking with the remote.

The functionality got disabled when the battery was disconnected and I haven't been able to get it to work again even after doing the key turn combination.

yeah mine does that to, it will go up at one touch but it has stopped going down??[

Is this available via VAG-COM?

AutoWindow is good bit of kit, though it probably doesn't get used much in the UK in winter. Was one of the early mods I did and I just could not live without it. Have had excellent support from Scott in Canada too.

Well I did what I could for you Jase! Seriously though, don't know anything about the other product but what I like about AutoWindow is that I have a direct line to the developer who's willing to answer questions, deal with any problems quickly and intelligently and offers assistance with one-off things like interfacing a rain sensor to his window controller. Top notch in my book.

I eat my words! Got in the car last night and it was working perfectly!

Seems it just "learns" after a while? Considering how complicated some things are with the Golf and Bora, this is just to easy! No complaining though [^]

byebyegti · Jan 16, 2005

with my old golf, to reset the one touch, I had to close the window fully, then attempt to close it even more ....ie push the switch as if the window was down. The window obviously didnt move any further as it was fully shut...however there was a clicking noise (best description i can think of!!) The one touch facility was then back... I know this method works for most other cars as I had done this on my Astra also...

tells you in the manual how to get it working again.says lock the car from the outside using the key in the door lock making sure that all the windows are up,unlock then lock again using the door lock making sure you hold the key in locked position for at least 1 second.also says if there is a fault the lights in the doors will flash for 15 seconds.tells you in the controls and equipment manual page 43.hope that helps
