It happens on every 197/200. Common issue.
You get used to it in the end.
If it bothers you, get it remapped or let your car warm up for a couple of minutes before leaving.
Have you tried to resync the keys? As above, I don’t have much knowledge with the MK4’s but if the 197 keys mess up slightly, I think you press the unlock button five times in a row?
To unlock? You shouldn’t need to press anything to unlock it? (If it’s like the 197 etc). You press the button on the door handle once to lock it when walking away.
Im sure the “passcode options” link where you can change between 4/6/alphanumerical is in the settings when you go to set a passcode, not when you’re locked out.
@Pistachio - sorry, not overly sure what else would trigger it. I’m only aware of remote locking causing it to have 6 on occasion
The 197 does require deep pockets, both for maintenance and fuel. (I average 19mpg at the mo.)
Test drive both and see what you prefer. The 197 is definitely more “luxurious” but in the same breath it’s also a lot lot heavier.
