Default Locking my car while it is running

Is it possible to lock my car while it is running? I have tried an old Audi trick to no avail: start engine, and lock driver door with mechanical key. Anybody try locking the passenger door with the mechanical key?

If you have access to a tool like OBDEleven or VCDS, its possible to enable code to lock the car with your remote while engine is running.

You can enable this with coding using OBD 11 or similar such that the door handle buttons work with the engine on. Works fine on my car.

On a similar thread someone suggested unrolling the window, then pressing the lock button while outside the car, then rolling up the window. I haven't tried it.

I was playing around with the manual lock today and when the engine is started, I can use the manual key in the driver door to lock the car. There is no indication that the car is lock, the lock light inside is not on, I tried putting the keys in the house and came back out and indeed all the doors were lock.

You can code it. I believe the coding for it is in the OBD eleven thread.
