What are the effects of enabling hidden features on Volkswagen vehicles?
1 Answers
No impact. The hidden features that can be enabled are part of Volkswagen's tiered approach for vehicles with different configurations. Since the vehicle control systems across the same Volkswagen model series are identical, the content of the control units is also the same, which helps reduce development costs. Additional information is as follows: 1. Normal usage: Many manufacturers hide certain features in lower-end models to differentiate them from higher-end configurations. These hidden features can function normally after being enabled. If the corresponding hardware is not present, installing the hardware and then enabling the hidden features will allow these functions to work properly. 2. Specific features: The hidden features that can be enabled on Volkswagen vehicles typically include one-touch window roll-up, mirror folding upon locking, and automatic locking while driving. The one-touch window roll-up feature is not controlled via the button on the driver's door panel but rather by holding the lock button after locking the vehicle, which closes all windows and the sunroof. The mirror folding feature upon pressing the lock button is only available on vehicles equipped with power-folding mirrors. Some Volkswagen models lack the automatic locking feature while driving, which can also be enabled through hidden feature activation.
