Did my GTI and simply took the imobiliser chip out of my old keys and put them in the flip remote.........no recoding required this way

Trained the new remote to the car......5 min procedure....need door lock cyclinder if you have delocked your car.

Got new blades cut and fitted

Works and been working fine and you can have a max of four remotes to a car so have my original two and both flip keys.

nice thanks i hove rung a few people from the pages of the yellow veriaty but they say it is too new to do anything with them at the moment and that vdub has the only equipment to coad the keys for your imobiliser

on thing i did notice in the manual for the fox it tells you how to syncronise the keys i thing this is a good a time saving thing

O ye the fox has lots of other bits you don't know about until you get one like you can raise and lower the windows using the key in the drivers door and the sterio that gets lowder as you accelorate and the fact that when you pull the back seats forward all the way you can fit a full sized trolly golf bag and clubs in the boot (i don't see may other city cars dooing that) .

at my dealer recoding is £23.50 inc vat.

can be done while you wait.

can only be done at a dlr though.

Its the remote and key that are expensive.

Im looking into doing it on my GTI though. just gotta weigh up if its really worth it.

Good luck.

You have to press a button a number of times to record the code in one of the four slots
