Enabling key fob window control on an Audi B8 S5 using VCDS is a popular modification. However, a common issue arises where the windows will only roll up after recoding, not down. This guide provides a solution to this problem, ensuring full functionality of your key fob window control. The information provided also applies to the A4, S4, and A5 models.
This fix involves accessing the newly enabled window control menu within your MMI system. After completing the VCDS coding process as outlined on the Ross-Tech website (http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/audiB8.html), your MMI will feature a dedicated menu for window and sunroof control via the key fob.
To restore the window roll-down functionality, navigate to the CAR menu within your MMI. Then, select the WINDOW Control menu. This menu allows you to configure the key fob control for the front windows, rear windows, and sunroof individually. You can enable or disable the feature for each component to suit your preferences. Once you’ve chosen your desired settings, exit the menu, and your key fob should control all windows and the sunroof as intended.
This added feature allows for convenient control of your windows and sunroof, especially useful for venting the car on hot days or ensuring they are closed if you’ve already exited the vehicle. By following these steps, you can avoid confusion stemming from the lack of explicit instructions on the Ross-Tech site and enjoy the full benefits of key fob controlled windows on your Audi B8 S5.
