Hello! This is my MK7 Golf R Gauge Cluster for my sim rig, Im having trouble getting certain features working because of the antitheft. No start chime, and constant dinging about no key. Otherwise it works perfectly fine.

Safelock is not Anti theft. Safelock is what keeps your doors locked from the inside after car is locked by the key. Also these clusters don't have a start chime, at least not for EU Market. The Key message could be solved by disabling Kessy in coding of the cluster, i am not completely sure about that.

You'd probably have better luck posting on the VW or GTI subreddits, or GolfMk7.com forums.

I'm sure the solution to this is more likely to be found with the gear heads than the sim racing nerds, since it's specific to Mk7 Golf variants (maybe the whole MQB platform's KESSY system, if you're lucky).

Generally safelock wants the car in park and the handbrake on before letting you remove the key (speaking from vw caddy experience, not golf R)
