Locked myself in the van!
- Thread starter Texxaco
- Start date
Of course it does
Control Units > Central Electrics (09) > Live data >
Channel 5 = Door contact switches,
Channel 6 = Bonnet, Tailgate/Barn Door switches, Lock/Unlock switch in driver door
Channel 7 = Door statuses (locked, unlocked, safe)
However, as usually you'd like to test these ignition off, the trick with OBDeleven is NOT to click Connect but instead to go directly (as above) to Control Units. It will take a while to establish the communication...Another note, locking the van with all doors closed shuts down the BCM after approx. 60 secs.

On mine all depends whether drivers door is open. When drivers door is open - indeed nothing happens neither immediately nor later by closing the door. (Mine is LHD)
That's interesting - what about having only passenger door open - can you lock the van also then? Just to eliminate LHD/RHD coding mismatch
Noted the below.
Mine will lock with a door open. Close the open door and that will lock and flash the indicators. Every VW I've had since 1999 has done that.
The other thing is when I just unlock the tailgate with the remote, nothing else unlocks. Close the tailgate and that relocks and flashes the indicators. Put the keys down in the 'boot' and that's a sure fire way of locking them in.

You can select this with Carista, worth having a keyless horn function is somebody is about to reverse into you when you‘re parked
Needs to active (ticked)
Go down to your local Timpsons & get a cheap £10 non-transponder key cut. This will open the doors & set the alarm off, but it get’s you back in the van. I’ve secreted mine in an external spot on the van.
And that's the reason why I wouldn't disable it. I'm always accidentally unlocking the van while my keys are in my pocket.
this is odd . . .
some people have different effects.? - wonder why?
whith your setup, you could leave the keys on the seat or in the rear of the van, close the last door - then keys locked in van!!!
mine wont let me do that?
wonder what the difference is?
my van is MY18 PV with the factory uprated metasat alarm (gives me additional USonic sensors(not used) + battery backed up siren + beeps at me when i set/unset alarm + additional red warning led for windscreen + will beep at me if i leave any door or window open) - i had the similar fitted on the T5.1
+++++++
looks like they do a version with microwave sensor now. - pics up all sensors via the CAN BUS.
This model of the Meta EasyCan alarm is a Thatcham 2-1 Upgrade alarm, when installed into a vehicle with a CAT2 Immobiliser, this will upgrade the current system to a CAT1 System. Comes complete with: Control Unit, M05 Battery Backup Siren, Volumetric Ultrasonic Interior Protection, Bonnet Switch, Window LED & Emergency Push Button.
- Thatcham insurance approved (When installed with a CAT2 Immobiliser)
- Boot, bonnet and door protection

- Audible/visual arming signals
- Secure override function
- Battery back-up siren
- Ignition hotwire protection
- Auto re-arm
- Diagnostic flashing LED
- This package includes the Microwave Sensor ABS0051
Do we get to see some pics?I did think this may be the case, SWMBO just thought I messing with my van as the alarm kept going off hence she ignored it
In the end by pure luck my parents visited and let me me out after they heard me banging on the back window to get their attention.
LOl the back window is also blacked out, that didn't help much either.
Well had some time today to play with alarm/locking etc.
Firstly, I use the carisita to set things. I found that I had switched off auto locking, so that works fine, but I can lock myself inside the van and open any door after alarm set!!!! No deadlock why?
Now the alarm via carisita I set to on and sound horn 10 ties. Not a sound from the horn, but the flashers work showing the door has been opened. Why no sound?
It is a 2016 van and the key fob only has 2 buttons lock/unlock. The side sliding door can be opened and the alarm does not notice. I think it might be that there is no step light so will pull the floor apart tomorrow and look for wires!!!!
I think in my case there is some sort of alarm, but no sounder. Any help/thoughts etc would be great.

What does your build sheet >here< tell about safelock/deadlock and alarm?
The locking setup is partially in BCM coding - please post "Detailed ECU info"-report (under Carista Service menu)
Fairly confident the above means no alarm installed because
4I2 - Central locking w/ radio remote control, interior control, without SAFELOCK - definitely does not have alarm installed
We need to take “window-licking” skills into account here. For all we know, @Texxaco may have thought he was back on the Sunshine Bus!!!
(JOG braces himself for the onslaught he will receive from @Texxaco and his better half! Both know me and could hand me my ass back on a plate quicker than anyone!)

Yes, it seems like you’ve found an odd sort of problem in a rather funny sort of way!In my defence licking the windows seems to get them cleaner that window cleaner
Not looked at the doors locking issue yet but it is clearly not an easy thing to solve based in what @Qnapper has stated.
