When I unlock my 2002 Jetta GLS, about 20 seconds later it re-locks itself and arms the alarm. This happens even if I leave the driver's door open, or even if get in and put the key in the ignition.
Leaving one of the back doors open prevents it from doing this, as does starting the car. I haven't tested the passenger door to see if it would prevent this.
I've searched this forum with every combination of terms I can think of, going back 3 years. Help! Can I disable this incredibly irritating behavior using VAG-COM and if so, how?
If it is possible and I do it, what else (if anything) will be affected?
I have the Bentley "Service Manual" (which I've checked for the answer - no dice) but can't afford the subscription to the full "Repair Manual" CD.
