rain = auto close windows

[VW-TX]

VW Golf7 [mk7] rainclosing function: http://youtu.be/EPcmMas49gI

Didn't know this!

Doesn't this have to be enabled with VCDS?

 

[mcmaddy]

Yes

Yes

Are you sure? I'm certain I have activated this feature via the normal vehicle menus.

 

[DamianD]

For sure it must be activated via VCDS first. No option under vehicle menus for that.

That's strange, I have seen an auto close during rain but not that I have gone to check again, I cannot see it,

via VCDS

I have googled this topic. There isn’t any solution via VCDS yet for MK7 that works.

From the tread below:

http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2491

In the first posting, point 6:

6. Automatic rain closing
Go into [09] Central Electronics
Go into Secuity Access and enter 31347
Go to adaptation channels and set the following:
- (15) Access Control 2 - Regenschliessen_ein aus (Rain Closing on / off) - Select Active
- (16) Access Control 2 - Regenschliessen_art (Rain closing Type) set to Permanent
- (28) Access Control 2 - Menuesteuerung Regenschliessen (Menu Control Rain close) – Set to Active (enables the menu in the ifotainment screen)​

The RLFS setting is missing. VCDS 12.12.2 doesn’t support a change of this setting.
Have tried without any success !

If you go via the longcode helper it says something with value out of range or similar.
Please, post the solution if someone have it.

Got it enabled no problem on mine - is it a build date thing?

I came so far that I could see this tick box in the display. Never the less when ticked it on my “R” it didn’t close any windows or sunroof at all…..the car is built late Feb 2014. Therefore my googling….


Which BW do you have?

Ahhh - right Peter - cheers for that - must admit I'm yet to try it out - typically it's not raining here and it's a bank holiday! MY BW was 13/01.

Lack of Rain – No problem :

After locking the car wait about 30 seconds. Then just splash some water on the rain sensor placed at the rear mirror on the windscreen. After some delay the closing takes place (if you are lucky ).

I activated this successfully on my former GTI 6. Now I’m not so successful any more…

I believe the convenience window opening and closing refers to the ability to do so using the remote.

Hold down unlock for a few seconds for them to open, lock for them to close.

Not aware that it shuts them in the rain automatically.

Then I do not need to envy your perfect running rainclosing .

We have to await a solution...

Yes, the convenience opening / closing is something different.
