    When you stay in your car for a long period of time (turned off and locked) that ding is a spring/sensor I believe, that triggers the lights to go on when you open the door. Happens to me all the time when I am chilling with the gf.

What if you put a monitoring system? (like...

    Anyone hit 1000 kms/ tank yet?

    Mine was 1176kms 90% highway going 130km/h with 15-30min traffic (traffic speed 20-40km/h) I still believe that our Jettas can beat the record of the Passat but as soon as I go to Quebec again will drive to achieve that goal ;D

    Remote starter for a 2012 Jetta TDI

    Any updates on this matter? Recently moved and have no access to an electric plug because parking on public street, plus the part that sucks is that my commute starts (after 3 kms) on highway. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
