Default Can I program my car to lock automatically?
Wondering if someone with a VAG-COM can somehow program my computer to lock the car a couple minutes after I close the door. I'm now on my 3rd GPS; somebody's watching my house and stealing them the first night I forget to lock the car. Any ideas?

Default I'd never leave anything valuable and portable in the car. Locked or not. Even if you...
could do what you're proposing, I can see it being a pain in the end.

Default Or you could just remember to lock it everytime.
My car gets locked every time I leave it, even when I go into a station for 2 seconds to pay for gas. It's a good habit to get into. The worst thing that can happen is you lock yourself out at some point, but that's why you keep a spare key in your wallet/under the car.

Default Where do you live?
I'd like a new GPS too.

at some point, the empty wallet from replacing stuff might force one to learn new "tricks".
