Resetting VW Key

[Wildfire]

My VW remote key stopped working yesterday evening. LED still blinks, I thought the battery had gone. So I replaced it. Its still not working, ive looked in the VW manual and I dont understand the lingo to reset the key.

Can anyone explain to me in laymans terms how to reset the key please?

Re: Resetting VW Key

The chip is in the remote part of your key, not the blade.

To program the remote functions on a new key, get in your car with the car off and the driver side window rolled down.

insert the new key into the ignition

insert your vallet key in the driver side door lock (outside the car)

turn the vallet key towards lock and hold it there

while it is held towards lock, press the unlock button on your new remote for
2 seconds.

let go

press it again for 2 seconds

let go and you should hear an alarm honk or something like that.

Try that one!

If not that one then this one for sure!

1. Fly your cougar to England and pick up the Queen.
2. Leave the cougar behind and drive your Postage stamp to the moon for tea time.
3. Whilst holding your nose, cup your left testicle and hold the trunk release button for three seconds.
4. Your trunk will open.
5. Double tap the lock button and wait to hear the alarm sound.

Re: Resetting VW Key

I did this but no joy. I can resent my second key though. I asked VW at South Centre. They said its shot and would have to get a new one.
