Method
Long coding + Adaptation
1 · Before you start
Run a full Auto-Scan and save it. Copy the whole long coding string of each module you change, and write down or screenshot each adaptation value before you change it.
2 · VCDS
Write down the current 46 long coding.
Open 46 Central Conv. > Coding - 07 > Long Coding Helper.
Untick 'Comfort function power windows/sunroof via remote control inactive'.
Tick 'Comfort opening power windows via remote control active' and 'Comfort closing power windows via remote control active'.
If the car has a sunroof, tick 'Closing sunroof via remote control active'.
Optional: tick 'Comfort Function automatic Closing' so a short hold of lock finishes closing the windows. vag-coding.net places it at Byte 6 Bit 6 (Golf 5 only).
Save the coding. Then open Adaptation - 10, channel 017 'Comfort Function', and make sure it is 1 (ON).
Test: hold unlock to open the windows, hold lock to close them.
Notes
Ross-Tech warns that not every module, firmware or equipment level supports every tweak. Use the option labels rather than byte numbers, because the byte positions come from only one source.
