they should work think people have said it does

 

[Funkyfin2000]

yeah 3 buttoin does...

confirmed 434mhz hella worked with mates mk1 leon 04 plate today when it had a 433mhz key as standard!

I just won another one for a mate for only £5.50 + £5.00 P&P..

It is a used key, so does show the usual signs of wear and tear though.

Bargain, works to, and came complete with new fitted uncut blade.

Couple of questions for you guys though..

1) What do you use to stick Transponders in the keys, if anything ?
2) What do you use to stick new SEAT badges on with ?

Thanks.

transponder just goes in the slot... however i just added a bit of glue, fron glue gun so can be easily peeled out if needed...... As for the badge i belive they come with a sticky back so just peel the back off and press on.........

 

[davels]

ah i used clear nail varnish (not mine) it's enough to hold in normal conditions but easy enough to flick off if needed

 

[gazjones]

nail varnish!!! doubly sided sticky can be broken to get access to the screw!

 

[davels]

it acts as a very weak glue trust me, it took a day to dry and i've already had to take it off once to stick down the transponder, with no damage to badge,

 

[SuperSimonJones]

I might be being really dense but I have a standard key and there is nothing on it which indicates the frequency! I've checked both the main key (with remote) and the spare (without remote). Am I missing something here?!?!

 

[Chemical Al]

its in the side of the bit with the buttons on

 

[SuperSimonJones]

Right - I've read through this thread quite a lot and there are a few bits I don't understand.

Will a key with part number HLO 1JO 959 753 AG FREQUENCY (434MHZ) work with my new Ibiza? The current key doesn't have a frequency on the outside??

Nope, nowt there. T'wud appear that justlivyalife had the same prob. There's nothing on the new ibiza key fobs but for the CE mark!

 

[SuperSimonJones]

See for yourselves lads. There's nothing on the fob but for the CE mark

 

[gazjones]

as said before i belive all the cars are 433.92mhz vw have just put that actual figure, 434 and 433, on the keys over different time periods. people with 433 on there original keys have got working flip keys with 434mhz on them

 

[BJM]

Simon, my original key says 433 on the side - my flip key is a 434MHZ - so it doesnt matter - go for it, it's a great mod!

 

[justlivyalife]

Won one last night so hopefully it'll be here and sorted before the end of the week . Just need to order my SEAT badge... lols.

 

[gazjones]

cool you will start playing with it when bored flipping it out and back in lol

 

[justlivyalife]

Hehe yeah! A colleague has an Alhambra and she's broken hers 'cos she kept playing with it! .

Edit:

I only really wanted one because it's much nicer

 

[gazjones]

and you dont stab yourself in the leg!!!! kept anoying me loads

 

[justlivyalife]

Paid £20 for it so was quite a good deal Never had a flip key before so hope I won't become a victim of that! .

Have you found the key to be too 'big' compared to standard? A friend's dad has a Passat and he said he found the key pretty bulky?

 

[gazjones]

its heavier but sits better in your pocket and nice and neat

 

[justlivyalife]

Cool I'm not worried then . Can't wait for it to arrive lol (how sad do I sound...)

It's the only mod my car is getting between now and next Christmas I think... .
