Keys are typically on the counter one floor directly above the car. So I'd estimate 20-25 feet away. If my wife drives home the car is locked. If I drive it the car is unlocked. I've definitely left a key close to the car in the garage before without issue. Lightflyer I agree on charging...

I believe our car was unlocked when this happened.

Did you disable the feature with VCDs or in the DIS menu in the car? Thanks everyone for the ideas/responses.

I guess I could have accidentally hit the switch getting out of the car Saturday night. But wouldn't the fact that the key was removed shut off all lights regardless? I know I left the headlight switch in the auto position. EDIT: I was thinking about the fog light switch in the other car when I...

I did set this feature to be on but the car was inside a garage and not exposed to rain. Wouldn't that stop the sensor from doing anything? This has been enabled for at least 6 months with no issues. Weird.

Went to start the car this morning for the wife and it was dead. Measured 3 volts on the battery. Nothing lit up inside the cabin. It took about 15 mins or so to get it to start off our other car. I tried it every 5 minutes or so and the car finally turned over. The starter could barely crank...

I are you looking for an oem equivalent or something that flows more? For the second the real issue is going to be a shop that can handle sourcing the hardware and who can tune and provide options for various ecu's.

Thank you

How does one check which versions are loaded on their car?

I wonder if the fact that it pulls more current than some other ballasts helps it not need cancelers. I might try one too. Thanks.

I got the DVD today as well. Will installing it change my vim? Will this make the touchscreen any more responsive? What does it do exactly?

On second thought, this is worth a couple hundred for the dealer to install http://www.parts.vw.com/media/images/ecatalog/itemdocuments/1000/561%20054%20630.pdf

Bio, the link you posted isn't working for me but this place seems to have the same kit. Which dealership did the install for you? I might pick one of these up but I'm not sure if I want to try the install or not...

The bub life extender won't change the light output for the xenon. It raises the voltage to the ballast but the ballast controls the output to the bulb.

Thanks. Maybe down the road. Pretty sure you can enable this with vcds in the s4 DSG. Too bad.

Still waiting for the replacement ballast so I took some numbers. Measured current on my xenon setup and stock halogen setup. Just sharing numbers in case people are interested. Halogen Motor off ignition on. Light turned from off to auto. Voltage at battery 12.6 volts. Current 4.1 amps...

The normal day for this car is 100 miles of commuting with very little stop and go. The car sees much more stop and go city driving on the weekends. We'll see if this problems clears up by the 10k mile service I guess.

What year is your car. I'm curious how you make out with the USP kit. My car is a 2013 SEL and so far I'm having issues. For the record I believe the ballasts are the same ones used in the XE kit. The ballast housing looks identical minus the stickers to me.

Yes that could be the case. We'll drive it until the first service and have the dealer look at it.

Thanks guys. I did turn off the bulb life extender feature a while ago and that didn't solve my issue. My lights always light up before shutting off so it seems that the issue may just be a defect in the can bus resistor box. I suppose the other issue may be if the ballast is drawing too much...
