VCDS Hack: Parking with AC or Heating on!
So I feel like a ad-hoc "cool/heat now" button is missing from the e-Golf and programming the climate control via the menu every time you just want it to run for a few minutes is a pain. Also the feature via App exists, but either costs money or no longer works due to that generation of cell service no longer being supported.
But I found a hack! Using VCDS (or I guess OBDeleven could also work) you can code the car to be lockable even when on. So park, leave the car running (or restart if it switches off when you open the door), and lock the car from the outside. This is with keyless start, so the key does not remain in the car.
The following needs coding:
STG 09-Cent. Elect.
IDE05142-ENG115754-Access control-Funk bei Klemme 15 ein -> active
Optionally also if you want the lights off:
IDE06864-ENG122184-Daytime running lights-Tagfahrlicht Dauerfahrlicht bei Handbremse abschalten -> active
IDE06864-ENG115734-Daytime running lights-Tagfahrlicht nur in Schalterstellung AUTO -> active
Very useful, e.g. keep AC running in the summer heat during a trip to the store.
