They are meant to write it in the manual - mine didn’t though! It will either be light touch of accelerator or OK button on steering wheel. Service indicator will be the ABS lamp. Tried my service mode in anger for the first time this week and it worked fine.
Nope - it just becomes second nature - usually I get my code in before the dial sweep is completed. Forgot a couple of times in the early days but had for 2 years now and never forget.
Totally agree which I why I don’t use the app.
No Way..... it's second nature..... I'm even a bit too quick on the buttons sometimes.
It's an awsome immobilizer.. it's had the VW techs stumped lol..... I does flag a immobilizer fault code in the ECM every time you forget to put the code in......
But my local dealers are starting to get it sussed now.
For a laugh I asked the VW master tech to steal my van in under 15mins with the keys and all his tools and kit and I would give him £50...... happy to say I walked off site with the cash still my pocket........it had him totaly stummped.
I dont use any of that . . . . . Buttons only for me.
Which is why your van prompts you to remember your phone!
More seriously though, the app has to be open and it has to be 'online' for it to remove the immobiliser. I Just take it 'offline' as soon as the Service indicator (ABS lamp) flashes twice, and before even starting the engine.
I also find that if I leave the app 'online' I can get interference, whereby after a varying period of time the Service indicator (ABS lamp) starts flashing and the van tells me 'Front assist is not available'. So l have to take the app 'offline' in any case. Does anyone else experience this interference?
Had it fitted to our Motorhome for 5 months now; its brilliant. We will get it fitted to the T6 soon.
I would use the phone app, if you had to use the pin/face recognition/finger print to enable starting; but the concept of the ghost watch app always running in the background needs re-thinking.

My guys wouldn't endorse the app at all, it's not enabled.
As above, the code is 2nd nature, I change mine every now and again because I don't use the valet mode and sometimes people need to move the bus etc.

Good luck with that - iOS 12 has screwed up WiFi to my dash cam and Bluetooth to my phones in my car grrrrr!!
Mine too, but Blackvue has just updated their app to address the issue (I haven’t tested it yet). Off-topic now though
