How to Disable the Safe Lock on a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Instrument cluster

The safe lock is an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the vehicle. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote after leaving the vehicle. To disable it permanently, you need to use a diagnostic program like VCDS, which connects to the vehicle via the OBDII port. Wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit, then select the locks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. The job will then be complete.
