Ignition on alarm - Disable
Disable Ignition-on alarm when Driver's Door open
In looking over the list of VCDS tweaks on this thread, it stuck me that this is one that may be useful to many and that had been omitted. There are lot's of copies of this tweak on many forum sites, so it's difficult to acknowledge where it originated.
The other reason that I wanted to add this (simple) tweak here, was to demonstrate the niffy new "search" facility that has been included into the new Beta version of Ross-Tech's software (ver 15.6.0). This new feature is particularly useful when searching through the 2,000-ish adaptation channels in the BCM of MQB platform vehicles like the mk7. Well done Ross-Tech and their super code-cutter, Eric for this timely addition to an already awesome piece of software!
Anyhow, as suggested by the title of the post, this tweak disables the annoying alarm that occurs when the driver's door is opened whilst the ignition is turned-on. This is now a "mature" tweak and I can vouch that it works on my car.
Instructions
- From the Select Control Module screen, click 17-Instrument
- As shown in the top part of the picture below, select Adaptation-10 in the Open Controller screen (no need for a security code for this tweak)
- If you are running Ross-Tech's latest Beta version software, a new dialogue box appears in the familiar Adaptation channel selection screen (see the lower part of the picture below). Type-in the word "ignition" into the Search box
- Click the down-arrow at the RHS of the Channel box and the adaptation channel ignition active message: actuator should appear as the only entry - real neat huh? The default entry for this channel should be Driver's door as shown in the picture below
- Select No display in the New value box and click Do it!
- Exit the RT software and turn-off the ignition.
- With the driver's door closed, turn-on the ignition. Then open the driver's door - hear the deafening sound of silence!!

Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.
