Enabling remote window control on an Audi A4 B8 (and applicable models like the S4, A5/S5) using VCDS offers convenient control over your car’s windows and sunroof via the key fob. This modification allows you to open and close windows and the sunroof remotely, proving useful in various situations. This process involves using VCDS to recode a specific module.
After successfully recoding the module with VCDS, a new menu option related to window and sunroof control with the key fob will appear within your MMI system. Navigate to the CAR menu and select the WINDOW Control menu. This menu allows customization, enabling or disabling remote control for the front windows, rear windows, and the sunroof independently. Choose the settings that best suit your preferences.
This functionality provides a practical solution for circumstances like ventilating the car on a hot day before entering or ensuring all windows and the sunroof are securely closed after exiting the vehicle. It addresses the common issue of realizing you’ve left a window or the sunroof open after walking away from the car.
While the Ross-Tech website provides coding instructions (http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/audiB8.html), it lacks explicit details regarding the post-coding MMI configuration. This often leads to initial confusion as the windows might only roll up after the VCDS procedure, not down. Accessing the newly available WINDOW Control menu in the MMI and configuring the desired settings resolves this issue. This added feature enhances the usability and convenience of your Audi, providing an easy way to manage your car’s windows and sunroof remotely.
