You forgot Xenon Plus's :rolleyes: +++

Thanks Ian, I will nick it out of my sisters MK4 Golf when she gets home from work this evening, hopefully its the same. Can someone get a pic of it installed. I couldn't see it. Was looking above the CD changer, my car doesn't have one of them gay aerials :D

You have to remove the side trims behind the Cd changer ??

Singh 6th May 2010 03:25 PM

Of course, *goes out to check* :o

This is all I could find and it looks nothing like what Ian posted.

That would be the central locking pump... Look up higher into the very top of the wing.....

^^^ Wot Clive said. Its a vagcom setting. There was some EU directive around 1999 that said chirping of alarms when arming / disarming wasnt a good idea I believe so whilst Pre face cars up to 1998 chirped by default, late pre face and all facelift cars dont.....

Simple enough vagcom setting, you can also set whether the indicators flash etc etc if you're really bored +++
