Default Can someone help me with the options on my 2004 VDP

There are a few buttons I don't know what they do yet.

There is a button up top near the sunroof switch with a P on it. What is that lol.

How do I program the garage door code to my garage?

How does the valet button work?

What is the settings past the on position for the lights, something about a delay?

I have the nav system, I assunme there is no mp3 input anywhere...

What does the "s" button do that's next to the traction control button?

Sorry I don't have a manuel and am having a hard time finding a good one. Any other tips or tricks that would be helpful.


Thanks for your help.

P - believe it is the ability to turn on/off the parking sensors. This is only available to those with the front and rear sensors.

The valet button locks the glovebox and trunk (boot). It can then only be open using the normal key. The green valet key won't work.

Lights - delays the time the lights stay on after removing the key and exiting the car. Believe it is 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 2 minutes.

I don't have the nav system in mine

S button - puts the transmission in "sport" mode which prolongs the time the car stays in certain gears to maximize acceleration.

I'll have to check the manual for the garage door programming. Key needs to be in the ignition in a certain position. Button on the opener needs to be pressed and button in car needs to be pressed but not sure of order or durations.

Welcome!

There's a link to the manual around here somewhere. I think I downloaded page by page and put it back together in viewer on a Mac.

This should answer your parking sensor button question.

Parking Assist
When both front and rear parking assist
are fitted, a switch is located in the
overhead console.
Pressing the switch turns front and rear
parking assist on or off together. The
switch integral warning lamp will come on
when the system is turned off or if a fault
is detected in the system. A switch is not
provided when only rear parking assist is
fitted.
Note:
The front parking assist will also
operate when reverse gear is selected.

Front parking assist provides an audible
proximity warning when driving forwards
if objects are detected within the
operating range, shown in the illustration
below in the approximate range:
The front sensors only operate within a
fixed speed range in forward gears and
are not effective when moving forwards
above 15 km/h (9 mph) or when slowing
down until below 7 km/h (4½ mph).
If an obstacle is detected at the front or
rear of the vehicle, a beep tone will be
heard from the front or rear speaker
respectively, which increases in rate as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The front or rear parking assist beep will
become continuous when the obstacle is
detected at or within 300 mm (12 inches)
from the rear or approximate 250 mm (10
inches) from the front of the vehicle.
If the system has a fault when engaging
reverse gear or turning on the ignition,
then a single, three second tone will be
heard (only once per ignition cycle) and, if
fitted, the switch lamp will come on. The
system is automatically disabled when a
fault is detected.

Regarding the programming of the garage door opener.

BEFORE PROGRAMMING
Caution: When programming a garage
door opener or entry gate that may
require you to press and re-press the
hand-held transmitter (cycle), unplug
the device during the cycling process
to prevent possible motor failure.
It is recommended that for best results, fit
a new battery to the hand-held transmitter
of the garage door opener (or other
device) before programming. If your
garage door opener receiver (located in
the garage) is equipped with an antenna,
ensure that the antenna is hanging
straight down.
TO ERASE ALL
PROGRAMMING
For first time programming, ensure that
the engine is switched off:
1.
Turn the ignition switch to position I.

2.
Press and hold the two outer buttons
on the garage door opener in the
overhead console. Keep the buttons
pressed, the indicator light will
illuminate. The indicator light is part of
the middle button in the garage door
opener in the overhead console.

3.
Release the buttons when the lights
begin to flash (this will take
approximately 20 seconds).
All memories in the garage door opener
have now been cleared.

Note:
Do not perform this procedure
when programming the additional garage
door opener buttons.

PROGRAMMING THE VEHICLE
Ensuring that the engine is switched off:
1.
Turn the ignition switch to position I.

2.
Hold the end of the original garage
door opener hand-held transmitter
approximately 50 mm to 150 mm (2 to
6 inches) away from the transceiver in
the overhead console, keeping the
indicator light in view.

3.
Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold both the desired
garage door opener button on the
overhead console and the hand-held
transmitter button. Keep both buttons
pressed. The light will flash, slowly at
first and then change to a fast flash.
When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, release both buttons. The
rapid flashing light indicates
successful programming.

Garage Door Opener
4.
If, after 60 seconds, the indicator light
does not flash rapidly, release both
the transceiver and the hand-held
transmitter buttons and repeat the
procedure starting with Step 2.
However, position the hand-held
transmitter at a different angle and/or
distance.

5.
Press and hold the programmed
overhead console garage door opener
button and observe the indicator light:

If the indicator light is solid/
continuous, programming is
complete. Your device should
activate when the garage door opener
button is pressed and held for one to
two seconds and then released.

If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns a
solid/continuous light, proceed with
the following programming
instructions for rolling code device
equipment.

Note:
To programme additional garage
door opener buttons, begin at Step 2.

Rolling code device equipment
programming
Note:
A second person may make the
following steps quicker and easier as once
the button has been pressed there are 30
seconds only in which to complete Step 3.

1.
At the garage door opener receiver
(motor head unit) in the garage, locate
the
learn or smart button/switch. The
name of the button/switch may vary
between manufacturers.

2.
Press and release the learn or smart
button.

3.
Return to the vehicle and firmly press
and hold the programmed garage
door opener button for two seconds
and release.

4.
Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence three times to complete the
learning/training process.
The garage door opener in the overhead
console should now activate the rolling
code device.

Reprogramming a single garage door
opener button
To programme a device to a previously
trained button:
1.
Press and hold the desired
pre-programmed garage door opener
button for at least 20 seconds, but no
longer than 30 seconds, until the
indicator light begins to flash.

2.
Without releasing the overhead
console button, position the
hand-held transmitter approximately
50 mm to 150 mm (2 to 6 inches) away
from the transceiver in the overhead
console, keeping the indicator light in
view.

3.
Carry out Step 3 of programming the
vehicle, see page 34.

Entry gate programming
The technology of some entry gates
requires you to press and re-press (cycle)
the hand-held transmitter every two
seconds during programming.
Continue to press and hold the desired
overhead console button while you cycle
your hand-held transmitter until the
indicator light flashes rapidly.

When you press the P button, a red light should illuminate from the button. That's your sign that the parking sensor is turned off (quick tip- if you go thru a drive-thru like McDonalds, turn it off before pulling up to the window).
As for the Garage Door opener, I took this from my owners manual:
first you want to erase all programming:
- turn ignition switch to position I
- press and hold the two outer buttons in the overhead console...the indicator light will illuminate (on the middle button)
-keep the two buttons pressed and release when the light begins to flash (about 20seconds or so)
That clears all memory in the garage door opener.

To program your garage door opener, follow these steps:
- turn ignition switch to position I
- hold the end of your current GDO hand held transmitter between 2-6 inches away from the transceiver in the overhead console
- using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired gdo button on the overhead console and the hand held transmitter button. Keep both buttons pressed The light will flash, slowly at first and then change to a fast flash. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons (rapid flashing means a successful programming)
- if it doesn't take after 60 seconds, release the buttons and start over
- once successful, press and hold the programmed overhead console button and observe the indicator light. If the light is solid/continuous, programming is complete. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid light, you'll need to continue the programming for the rolling code device in your gdo.

You'll need to know if you have one with rolling security codes. If so, you'll need to locate the "smart" button on the garage door opener head (should be a little red button...check your gdo manual)
-press and release the "smart" button on the gdo
- return to the car and firmly press and hold the programmed button for 2 seconds and release
- repeat the press/hold/release sequence 3 times to complete the training process.
Should be good to go.

As far as the Nav and MP3, it doesn't have one. You should have a ACM unit that can be used to play music off your iPod or MP3...do some searches on this Site for ACM help.

Hope that helps.

Jag's are notoriously difficult to get the garage door programmed correctly.
