Activate VW ID.4/ID.Buzz Exit Warning System
Activates VW's Exit Warning system on the 2021–2023 ID.4. When you're parked and about to open a door, the rear radar sensors watch for cars and cyclists approaching from behind and warn the occupants – front and rear doors – before the door swings into their path. The hardware is already in the car; we enable it remotely in about 30 minutes. Reversible on request.

How the remote session works
- Order the activation and, if you don't already have one, the DoIP cable and USB-Ethernet adapter ($39.95, yours to keep).
- Book a session time. You receive a confirmation email with the preparation steps.
- At the session, plug the cable into the car's OBD port and your laptop, and run FlexiHub so our technician can connect.
- We do the programming remotely – usually about 30 minutes; a slow internet connection can make it longer.
What you need
- A laptop (or Android phone with USB-C) next to the car: Windows 7/8/10/11, an Apple-silicon Mac on macOS 10.15+, Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+) or Android 5.0+.
- A stable internet connection and the free FlexiHub app.
- An ENET DoIP cable with USB-Ethernet adapter, a VAS5054 or a VAS6154. Ross-Tech/VAGCOM, Tactrix, J2534, Unitronic UniCONNECT+, APR Ultralink/Cheetah, 034Motorsport R4, COBB Accessport and VCP cables do not work.
- SFD unlock: 2022–2024 MK8 cars need the SFD security unlocked for the session – we do it remotely for a $20 surcharge, or you can use your own OBDeleven Pro/Ultimate plan.
