    Auto Closing Sunroof & Windows Tricks and Tips?

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if the following 'tricks' work for the Sunroof on the MK6 GTI, or if they need to be enabled by VCDS at the dealer or something?

    - Auto Closing when Rain is detected
    - Close Windows and Sunroof with the keyfob
    - Open the Windows and Sunroof with the keyfob

    I have done a search and found the following thread:

    VWvortex Forums: How to Enable Rain-Closing through VAG-COM

    But its geared towards the MK5 Golf GTI and not the MK6 GTI.

    Does anyone know if those features work from the factory? or if they can be enabled by the dealer? and if so, what the instructions are so I we can show the dealer?

    My sunroof will close if you hold down the lock button on the keyfob. This is how my car was configured on delivery. Have not tried the other functions but will test the opening function later today

    you can change settings on windows with build in comfort options (or somewhere in there) but there is nothing on the sunroof


    question on a topic, is there way to set up so sunroof closes automaticly when u lock the car?

    Here is a video of the MK5 Sunroof closing when water is detected:

    YouTube - MkV GTI auto sunroof close feature (vag.com)

    So if it was possible on the MK5, it must be possible with the MK6, but does anyone know the settings?

    It worked on the MK5 so reasonable to assume it should do on the MK6:

    Volkswagen Golf Auto Rain Closing Windows and Sunroof | my-gti.com

    You should be able to open/close the windows/sunroof with the stock car by holding down the keyfob, but recoding in VCDS enables you when closing to just hold the button for one second or so instead of the whole time they are closing.

    would be good news if it is auto rain closing. we used the sunroof yesterday for the 1st time on our mk6 gti and it is great yesterday evening driving around with it open. but yeah a bit of a worry if forget to close it and if it would start raining ! a lot of electronics inside the golf cabin that probably wont like it !

    was the rain closing on the mk5 a setting someplace that you had to turn on ? will try holding the key fob to shut all windows and the sun roof. that is handy in itself if works that way

    Doesn't work the same on the MkVI as the coding is completely different to the MkV. I have made inquiries with Ross Tech re the rain closing activation on Vortex VCDS forum http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4720956 but they are unable to help at the moment. The Golf TSI has it listed in the codes and I have enabled it but it still does not work. You also have to hold the keyfob button for the entire time to move the windows up or down.
