well that was my point in my previous post! i thought that you do not actually program the transponder at all. is it not merely that you tell the car to accept that specific transponder?
Will retry again tomorrow and hopefully this time it will program the remote. Wanted a new transponder for this flip key so had a local auto locksmith out but he claimed he could not get the retrieve the SKC from the car.
Would it be worth buying a VAG-Tacho cable and software off t'ebay along with a new virgin transponder in order to create myself a new transponder for this slip key or is it unlikely to work in view of what the local locksmith said?
having read through the entire thread there only appears to be the one procedure to program the remote, it's just the fact it's been repeated multiple times that makes it seem like there's 3 methods!
I've tried this method again and the remote still won't program to the car!
Right,got mine today but noticed red led does not flash when pressing lock/unlock button so guessing need new battery,how do you get to the battery on them ?
Can anyone confirm if buying a VAG-Tacho will definitely enable me to obtain the SKC and program a new blank transponder?

Bought a remote key from a Leon Cupra and it still will not program to the car! Is there a chance the remote locking aspect of my vehicle is affected in some way? is there a fuse maybe?
Couple of things i want to get right in my head before i go ahead:
1) Can the blade on the standard key be transferred into a flip headed fob?
2) Where can you pick up the circuit board by itself of the flip headed fob as the two buttoned fob's circuit is no use. Can't see any sold separately on fleabay.
3) Have two keys at present, 1 standard and 1 two buttoned (central locking buttons don't work). Does it matter which key is in Ignition when programming flip headed key?
Thanks
Bought this a VW flip key from ebay and had the blank key blade cut but on going to program it the remote will not program and operate the locking/unlocking of the doors. Am I doing something wrong or is it the wrong remote? It's a 2001 Leon Cupra.
Finally have got flip key working the central locking,learnt the hard way but got there in the end.
Right if you have a 2001 Leon or older it will only work with a 433mhz remote
Heres where i got mine http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1J0-959-7...CarParts_SM&hash=item27bfe8f54e#ht_3348wt_944
I only needed the fob as already had the blade bit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170802516...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2652wt_944
So happy days at last![]()
This is good news. So lets take my leon for instance, its a 54 plate (2005). What key would i need so it would work? Also would a 2 button one work? Cheers.
could you just swap the button section over instead of swapping the blade and chip?
Also i can get the button section cheap but it has already been programmed to another car, is there a way to code it to mine?
Cheers

U need to buy a flip key can get them on ebay,if ur seat is 2001 it needs to be 433mhz if 2002 onwards can be 433 or 434mhz,get the key cut that will enable you to program remote central locking then put transponder into flip key,if you want 2 working keys u'll need to buy a transponder & get it programmed using vag.com
