If your fob worked from 50' away to roll up the windows , then somebody deactivated it with VCDS.

The reg states in part:

S4. Operating requirements. Except as provided in S5, power operated window, partition, or roof panel systems may be closed only in the following circumstances:

(d) Upon continuous activation of a remote actuation device, provided that the remote actuation device shall be incapable of closing the power window, partition or roof panel from a distance of more than 6 meters from the vehicle;

That makes sense. I bought all of my VWs used so that could've been done by previous owners.

Now I'm coming from a Jeep Rubicon so it didn't have any tech, on road sucked and I had to spend $10K to get it to look the way I wanted to. Things I don't understand though.

1. After remote starting, why the hell does the 4R turn off when you unlock the doors?? Please tell me there is an actual reason.

2. And equally annoying is why can you unlock all four doors when opening the passenger side door, but not when opening the drivers??

Are there any ways to override the 2nd complaint??

I wish you could sort of double-tap the handle to unlock all the doors. Like if you grab the driver's door handle once and pull, it only unlocks the driver's door. But if you grab it and let go and grab it again or kinda tap it twice, it unlocks the driver's door and then the rest.

I understand why it's a safety feature though. The bigger gripe I have is them not putting a sensor in the handle of all 4 doors. On my Mercedes, you can grab any of the 4 door handles and they open and you can lock the car by touching any of the 4 handles. No idea why Toyota decided against that. I wouldn't have cost that more to include it.

You can configure it to open all doors at once and the instructions are earlier in this same thread.

Agreed. It's annoying to have to grab the front door handle to unlock the doors just to put something in the back seat.

IDK if it's already been mentioned, but the screen resolution is terrible.

Yeah I think I saw that already. I’d rather it not open all of them on the first pull. There is a legitimate safety feature there. I’d really like a second tap or pull, but can’t satisfy everyone haha

Have you found it to be? I’ve actually been quite pleased with the screen in mine so far. It’s easy to read and navigate, isn’t too bright at night, and doesn’t polarize under polarized glasses. I’ve never noticed he resolution being an issue

4runningyeti · 02-29-2020, 11:33 AM

Agree, screen has been awesome in my truck.

In the 20's you can set this on the screen also under settings

Back then, dealers were far more willing to make changes as well.

The problem is that we have to legislate to the dumbest amongst us. Some owner rolls up his beat up old car with a broken pinch protection and squishes his kid because he closed the windows from so far away (or around a corner) that he couldn't see what he was doing and we have a new regulation.

If you are referring to the backup camera, you're absolutely right. My 2009 Audi had a much better backup camera than my 2020. Pretty pathetic.

What safety feature?

Yep. My 2017 was much better.

Yeah, I just came from a '20 Wrangler Rubicon with the 8.4 UConnect and it was a fantastic display, great resolution. Kind of like watching HDTV when the backup cam was on. Even the display above the steering column was hi-def and had many programmable features.

The Rubicon had:

Remote start - both with the key and app
8.4 UConnect with all kinds of apps and Off-Road Pages
Alpine sound system
Real leather seats
Automatic seat heaters, heated steering wheel, climate control based on outside temp
Very easy to use infotainment, easy to navigate, beautiful album art, etc.

Again, the only thing I miss about the Rubicon was the modern tech, maybe a bit of the look-at-me factor, and the wonderful 8sp AT. Though I do like the ORP better overall, I feel like I stepped back about 10 yrs in technology. Toyota should realize they need to do better in this area.

I'll take the crappy screen over a Fiat reliability anytime
