Purpose: to activate the “Easy Entry” function for the driver’s seat. By default, vehicles equipped with the electric steering column option automatically lock the driver’s seat when the vehicle is switched off and the driver’s door is open, to allow easy exit from the vehicle. In addition, when the car is unlocked and the driver’s door opened, the driver’s seat moves back to allow easy entry, and when the car is started, the seat moves forward to its last position. If you have a convenient/advanced key and driver memory seats, when you start the car, the seat moves to the recall memory stored on the key used to unlock the car (linked to button 1 or 2 of the driver seat memory buttons in the door trim). This modification enables this functionality when the electric steering column is not installed.
Procedure:
1 – Engine off, ignition off, connect your official VAG-COM VCDS cable to the computer, then plug the other end into your vehicle’s diagnostics socket.
2 – Switch on the ignition and run the VCDS program.
