Engine runlock

Volkswagen Caddy engine runlock, 2010 to 2019

Caddys built between 2010 and 2019 are a common sight with dog wardens, animal collection services and pet couriers. On a summer day an animal in the back of a parked van cannot be left without air moving. Someone still has to get out and do the job.

Heat builds fast in a small van

A compact load space heats fast under summer sun with the engine stopped. Air conditioning or ventilation keeps animals comfortable, and it needs the engine running. So does a fridge for samples or medicines on a vet's rounds.

The awkward choice at every stop

Turn the Caddy off and it gets warmer by the minute while you are inside. Leave it running, key left in, and a van with animals in the back sits open on a street. Neither is acceptable for a welfare service.

Caddy runlock, configured for your van

Our listing covers the Caddy from 2010 to 2019. CAN KONTROL RUNLOCK keeps a Caddy engine running after its key comes out, and you are able to lock the van. Its information comes from the Caddy's CAN bus. Back at the wheel, a pedal press or freeing the handbrake ends runlock and the van drives as usual.

Questions about the Volkswagen Caddy

Our newest Caddy is a 2021 van. Can you help?
Our Caddy entry runs from 2010 to 2019. For a later van, send its registration and we will check before you order.
Does it keep the air conditioning running?
The engine stays on, so the Caddy's own climate system can carry on working as it would with you at the wheel.
Can we fit one unit and move it between vans?
Every unit is set for one van at a time, but it can be shifted to another van and reprogrammed if the fleet changes, free of charge for the new setup.
