Towing a 2016 VW GTI

I installed the RVi battery charger, wired to the MH via the cable. I push the start button once to activate the "acc" and leave the key fob in the car. I found that if I kept the key with me and and got out of range, the acc would eventually shut down automatically and relook the wheel. If I left them in the car, it stays on. I learned the hard way that you need to disable the "convinence auto lock" feature as my doors would automatically lock after the car starts rolling. And no, the extra key would not electronically open the door. I would like to be able to leave the car cold and tow it, but I'm a little uncomfotable takin my steering column apart.
