Meanwhile the ******* behind you is honking, your kids giving you the WTF look and the traffic lady glaring at you like, ‘what are you, an idiot?’
We’d just rather avoid that whole scenario, and we don’t really live in the fear that so many perpetuate. We are pretty cognizant of our surroundings and do lock the doors when we go into questionable areas.

I would hope your kids would know better than to think WTF after 1 second. Or the traffic lady think you’re an idiot after 1 second. Sounds like your nice area has a lot of very impatient people.

that’s not what I’m here for, I’m here asking a question about a product that we have a mutual bond over, was hoping that’s what I would have found.
I bet this forum will be fun as we get closer to the US election!

See my post above. You need to set “automatic unlock NAR” to not active

if you don’t want to mess around with coding I would check with any local VW or Audi independent shop or Audi/VW tuner. They all have at the very least VCDS and can easily make this change for you(show them this post if needed).
in the past before I got my own scan tool I did it this way and they typically charged me 30 minutes of labor
