Can you make a video on how to disable so that the doors don't unlock when you put your car in park so they would unlock after you take the key out. Thanks
@@vwguru question, I have a 2018 atlas but the convenience windows don’t work, I have it set to driver window. Does it need to be serviced? Or factory reset maybe?
@@nadeaheaven the convenience closing feature is supposed to only close the windows, not open them. To get them to roll down, you will need to change settings in OBD-Eleven.
I bought an Atlas on the 30th. It’s 2021. It’s right doors aren’t locking and rolling windows aren’t happening and right side mirror isn’t moving. Dealer told me to schedule an appointment with the Volkswagen Dealer. Before the sign up they told me they’ll have everything fixed.
My VW use to automatically lock when I walked away and now I have to manually do it when I walk away why ? And is there a setting I can change to go back to that, those days I for get to lock it. Would like to know it dose it anyway.
This video is so helpful. I was curious if you could show me how to change from a previous owners name to my name. When I turn off my car it says goodbye and it says the previous owners first and last name. How can I change that to mine.
Can you lock the vehicle while it’s running. I wanted to leave my dog inside with the AC running and can’t seem to figure anything out. 2021 atlas sel premium. Thanks in advance
Skipped “easy open” Also, do you know how to make pastiche unlock work? Changed the fob battery, no now passive unlock won’t work (placing hand inside door handle)
@@vwguru Reese does this car have the global locking/unlocking feature where a hold down on the unlock button unlocks all the doors and winds down the windows (useful when ventilating a locked car parked in the sun) and global locking which does the reverse?? Thanks.
@@vwguru oh yeah I've heard about those! One more question please please if I may. I have the 22 VW Atlas R-Line Black, thanks to your videos might i add😊, and it appears that fog lights could be an option to be added in the front. Do you think that is an aftermarket option? It seems like it has the cutout for it. Thanks so much for your time thanks for responding.
How am I able to use the controls on my door? They only work when the car is on and i am sitting inside. Example: If i need to grab something from my car quickly and unlock it before heading to it. Then when i grab the item and go to lock the door with the buttons on the inside, it wont let me. I have to use my fab for everything. And its absolutely annoying
I am used to hitting the lock button when I am getting out of my vehicle to lock all the doors. When I hit it in my new 2020 Atlas Cross Sport the lock button doesn't work or do anything. Is there any way to set it up so I can hit the lock button when exiting the vehicle to lock all the doors? Thank You
VW does not allow you to hit the lock button from inside the car to lock the doors. That is a safety design to keep you from locking your keys or an infant/toddler in the car. You can use an OBD Eleven tool to "unlock" a lot of features, and this may very well be one of them.
My 2022 taos unlocks automatically once I put car on Park. How do I turn this off? I’d feel safer if it didn’t unlock it automatically when I put on park.
This is a feature on ALL new VWs. I am in the habit of just touching the lock button ince I put it in park. There is not a way for you to disable that feature. I think it is a safety feature so that you cannot be locked in the car in the event of an emergency.
Is there a reason why I can't lock my doors while it's running? Example...car is running, I have my dogs in car but make a quick run inside the gas station or house. I take my keys with me..but when I hit the lock doors on fob key, it won't lock the doors? I've never had that happen on other vehicles.
It is designed that way so you cannot lock the keys in the car. When I get out of mine, I shut it off and just remote start it again. It will run for 10 minutes and it will cool or heat to 72° while running.
Make sure that you ARE NOT grabbing the handle as you try to unlock. That confuses the handle because touching the outside of the handle is the "lock" command, and your hand behind the handle is the unlock command. If you are touching BOTH at the same time, it will do nothing.
How do I get the atlas to lock all doors when I exit the vehicle without having the key fob in hand? I usually have it in my purse and don’t take it out when I’m unloading the kids. The button on the door is not working 🥺
So the lock button doesn’t do anything but light up?? Lol. Seems silly. I will try when I walk out to my car!! I went all out with the sel premium but it’s m definitely overwhelming coming from a basic dinosaur 4Runner 😅 thanks for all the videos Reese!! I’ve been using car-net to make sure my doors are locked after handling the kiddos 🙃
@@annahuynhfernandez make sure you are touching the dimple with just one finger or your thumb. If you grab the handle or stick a finger behind, it will confuse the sensor and it thinks you want it unlocked and does nothing.
So the remote locks every car door except for the driver side. And then when we unlock it obviously every door is unlocked including the driver side. Only way we can lock the driver side door is with the key fob. Why is that?
It sounds like you may be grabbing the handle to check for a locked door. Is that correct? If you are, DON'T grab the handle. The KESSY system is designed to unlock when you grab the handle. As for the settings for all of the doors unlocking, change the settings to "Driver's Door" or "Driver's Side Only" to unlock both driver's side doors. The only other setting is "All Doors".
I unlocked the back door, threw in my bag, then went to get into the passenger side but the entire vehicle was locked and would not let me in. My phone, keys, and wallet were inside the Atlas. A locksmith got the car opened. It shouldn't be that it can lock itself after you open it. Our Camry doesn't do thst. If you open it, it's unlocked. It doesn't lock itself again unless you lock it either with your fob or from inside.
Added safety feature!
Can you make a video on how to disable so that the doors don't unlock when you put your car in park so they would unlock after you take the key out.

Did you ever find out a way to stop this? Easy lawsuit if someone enters my vehicle when I put it in park and assaults me
The central locking acoustic part had me rolling 😂🤣😄😂😄🤣😄🤣🤣😂😂😂
Sometimes I try to be funny.
Ommg thanks for such informative instructions. I can't not find much video for this function!!!
Glad to help!
Sorry if you have answered this question already. My 2018 atlas mirrors are no longer folding when I lock the doors. It is checked to fold
Is it an SEL Premium?
That video was helpful! I would like to know if my Atlas Sport SEL mirrors fold in? If so, how to set it up?
They do fold in manually. Only SEL Premium units have power folding mirrors.

@@vwguru question, I have a 2018 atlas but the convenience windows don’t work, I have it set to driver window. Does it need to be serviced? Or factory reset maybe?
@@nadeaheaven my first question is what are you expecting the windows to do?
@@vwguru go down or up, depending on if I’m opening the car or locking the car.

I'd like to know how does window conv. opening work? Is it suposed to open all windows and sunroof with the remote control?
I believe that is correct. In the US, I think you have to use OBD-ELEVEN to program that.
This is helpful! Also as a lady I wish they didnt make you unlock doors to fill up gas tank!
When I fill mine, I open the gas door then lock the car. It's just a different sequence.
How can I get the lock configuration sound to turn on for my 2024 Atlas?
I think it's a box labeled "Acoustic Confirmation".

Go to the "Car/Vehicle" settings and touch "Personalization". There, you can select Driver 1, 2, or 3.
@@vwguru thanks ! It says it’s on me, but says goodbye to someone different . Should I erase snd start over so it deletes his info!
Do a factory reset and it dumps everything. It will dump your presets too but that clears it all out.
What does the “Easy Open” setting do?
Sets the easy open hatch so that you can open with your foot.
Great videos! Does the 2021 SEL premium Atlas come with wheel locks>>?
Some do. It is not a standard item. Wheel locks are random port decisions.
Hi. Volkswagen Atlas..model 2021, where do I put the flash of songs, where is it?
Can u lock doors befor u leave from inside
No. VWs are designed NOT to do that.
Can you lock the vehicle while it’s running. I wanted to leave my dog inside with the AC running and can’t seem to figure anything out. 2021 atlas sel premium. Thanks in advance
The only way to do that is to remote start the car. It will default to 72° but it will only run for 10 minutes.
How do you activate the dimple locking or unlocking on the 2021 atlas cross sport se w/ tech?
It should already be active.
It doesn't work anymore.
@@nertwigg Make sure battery in fob is good, and do you a "Key not found" error when you try to start the car?
Can I change the feature that unlocks all the doors when I put it in park? I don’t like that....
I don't think so. If you can, it will only be through OBD-11
Hi, can I turn off the settings to unlock the doors when I park?
No, not through the vehicle itself. I believe that function can be changed using an OBD Eleven tool, but a shop most likely will not do that for you.
I am having the same issue. Very annoying that driver can't disable that feature. I will be getting an Obd tool to see if it can be changed
Anyway to turn off the annoying door alarm “open” while the car is running?
How do i stop my 2021 Atlas SEL from automatically locking the doors when my key fob is inside the vehicle?
It is not supposed to do that? Are you by chance carryong BOTH keys with you when this happens?

How do you prevent the vehicle from unlocking the doors automatically when you place the vehicle in park?
It may be possible to change that with a programming tool like OBD-Eleven, but do so at your own risk.

If you have keyless entry, just touch the dimple on the door handle to lock. You won't even have to take the key out of your pocket or purse.

My 2018 atlas just started locking itself as I am driving. If I am at a red light and then accelerate it keeps locking itself about 3 times in a row
Get it into service and get that looked at ASAP. You have a 6 year/72,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and that will likely be covered.
