In the freezing weather, I used to start my Transit Connect, leave the engine running and lock it from outside with the spare key while it defrosted the ice.
Tried the same today with my Caddy but could not get it to lock with the spare key, either pressing the remote button or turning the key in the door lock. I thought it was maybe the spare key battery or it had lost sync, but swapping them over started the van but still would not lock with the second key.
Is there a setting that I need to make to allow me to lock the van from outside with the engine running or is it a VW quirk that prevents it?
Can I lock van with engine running?

Might have something to do with the auto lock timer on the mfd
