In this video, discover how to code the buttons of the remote key for an Audi A3 so that, contrary to the norm, they can operate the boot's opening and closing even with the key inserted in the ignition. This operation must be performed via VDCS on control unit No. 09. Enter the security code, which is 31347, then go to adaptation, search for the entry "ZV ALLGEMEIN", and select the third option, which is "furk bei klemme 15 ein". Change the functionality from "inactive" to "active". Confirm by holding for more than two seconds, and the adaptation is accepted.

Exit, and the coding is complete. Now, if you insert the key into the ignition and press the central button for the boot opening, it will open.
