How to enable VW Transporter T5 comfort windows (up/down with remote)

This is a guide to turning on comfort windows (Windows controlled by the key) on a T5 VW Transporter.

Tools you will need:

• A T5 van with factory remote central locking and factory electric windows.
• An old computer/laptop with ms-dos  – Basic skills in MS-DOS
• Serial lead to connect to your car (Search – KKL COM port cable)
• VDS pro
• Battery support unit (optional but recommended)  I use a Ring Smart Charge Pro 35

How to do it:
Remove battery cover and connect battery support unit.
Wait for the set voltage to be reached
Now connect the lead to the T5 van and to the computer
Boot the computer into ms-dos

Using dos commands like dir/w find VDS pro and load program by typing VDC_E.EXE

(If you unsure try

r: – Press enter

dir/w – press enter

VDC_E.EXE – press enter)

VDS pro will try to connect to your car, if successful great if not try changing the com port.

Once connected you need to select central convenience module (CCM) type number 46

Once connected to the CCM you need to login. Type 11 and then login 19283

Now you want to read EEPROM, type 26. Now choose your memory location, type 04361 – Make a note off all the readings

• You should have something along the lines off 0,10,10,176,176,176,100,100,100,255.  The first 3 are the important ones
• In binary code works like this   128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1
• So 0= 00000000      10=00001010  (because we have 1 in the 2 and 8 positions add them together =10)
• We need to change the 10 to 2 so it works like this 2=00000010

We now need to change the value so type 27 now enter 04362 and 02

We now need to change the value so type 27 now enter 04363 and 02

Now press ALT-X

Unplug the lead and now test your now comfort windows
