Chris,

Short answer-you can't.  Ewe isn't well known for detailed explanations
of how to use the VAG-COM, although there is a lot more detailed
instructions on the web site now.  I believe the coding of the central
locking system only applies to KWP-2000 cars (about '99 and OBD-2
compliant).   Most of the capability of the VAG-COM is not used on the
URS4-6.   Plug it into an '03 A4 and it reads 4 times the modules.
Incidentally, the ShadeTree PDA ProDiag automatically lists the modules
your car communicates with.  That keeps you from searching for
something that isn't available, and perhaps accessing an area you don't
want to be in -like basic settings instead of measuring blocks.
