F.A.Q about KVW100

(Back to KVW 100 Page)

1. Can you give me more information on the details of the automatic window roll up feature?

When the car is turned off, you press the “lock” button on the  keyless remote, the system will check the windows and sunroof. If the system finds the windows and sunroof are open, the ccm (Comfort Control Module) will give an order to the window and sunroof motors and the windows and sunroof will close automatically. Addressing  the problem of forgetting to close the windows when exiting the car.

2. Will KVW100 affect the original functions?

After the update with KVW100, it will not affect any of the original functions of the car.

3. After updating, if the battery has no power, will the auto roll up function be lost?

Absolutely not, the feature is a permanent feature.

4. If I buy the KVW100 and the update failed, what should I do?

Do not attempt to do it again. First verify if your  vehicle and/or comfort module are on the applications list. Then check the KVW100 whether it has been plugged in tightly and if you have followed the instructions correctly.

If you have any problems you can use a VAG-COM cable to check whether you can enter the 46 module. If all of these are ok it maybe that your vehicle is unable to be updated or possibly you may have done something wrong. Please feel free to contact us in order to help you resolve the problem.

5. After updating one car can I use the KVW 100 on another car?

Unfortunately the KVW 100 can only flash one car, this is a one time use  device.

6. Would this affect the warranty on my car or can it be found by the local dealership where I bought my car from?

Luckily no, it will NOT affect your Warranty, and your dealership will not get any notification about it being there. As far as dealerships are aware it’s ‘probably just a feature’. It doesn’t modify or change anything that would affect it, as it’s a hidden manufacturer feature anyhow!

7. if my car does not have the original remote system, can I use KVW100?

Unfortunately if your car doesn’t have the original remote, you must first install a HELLA Remote System in your car. Then you can use the kvw100. if not you can't use the KVW100.

8. Can I use the vag-com cable to enable the "one touch" function?

No! This is an EPROM flash so you cannot use the vag-com cable to enable this function. But for the OEM "hold on" there are special ways to enable it, such as by VDS. But different cars have different values and if you get wrong value it will damage your car's ECU, and even if you get the correct value it is still almost impossible for the average person, or even knowledgeable vagcom user/vag hobbyist to enable the function.

9. My VW/Audi/Seat’s is chipped / modified, would this affect it?

If you have an Oettinger, GIAC, REVO or APR chip (or other) it will not affect your chip, erase the program or modify it in anyway. You are SAFE to use this and your car will be exactly the same as it was before.  And if you were planning to get a Chip in the future,  the window flash will not affect it either.

10. On hot days i do not want to use the "auto up" function , how can I do this?

You can prevent it from auto closing simply by pressing "lock" +"trunk". You can also open the windows using the "unlock" button on your remote.
