Programable rear screen

atr42 · Mar 5th, 2008, 18:59

Evening All, I have to ask for help on this one! Seems the rear screen switch is programable and I now have it come on each time I start up. Any idea how I turn this off again?
Many Thanks

I didn't know it was programmable. Do you know how you got it on in the first place? I know the manual air circulation is programmable. you press the switch in for 10 seconds and it will flash.

Rear screen heater on mine (99T4) just stays on if the button is in not sure it's programmable

If your car has climate control air con, then depending on which setting its on, or if the screen heater was on previously, it will let it run for a bit on start up.

Does it go off after about 10 mins?

It could be linked to air temp?

There is something on this in the manual for the car - have you looked in there?

Thanks for the replies so far. I'll have to go and play with it a bit more. A few months ago I hit the button a bit quick when I was starting up and it stayed on afterwards. Somehow I managed to stop this.
However yesterday I turned it on quickly and again it comes on every time I start up now.
Sadly I didn't get a manual with it.
Will up date if I work it out!
Regards

Well problem solved. Turned the key but didn't start it. Screen heater light came on. Pushed button once to turn it off but didn't push and hold. Then started the car. Let it run for a minute and turned it off for a minute. When I started it again it was without the screen automatically coming on. Still don't fully understand how I came to get it in that state. If it happens again and I can give a better explanation I'll let you know.

might have been a wee gremlin turning it on just before you parked it up for the night. lol
