Right bit of a update, Got new CCM and fitted it, still didnt work spoke to ARD over on ukmiv's and he sussed it out, i fitted the immob 2 clocks and my car is immob 3  :sad: so got ARD to recode my immob 3 clocks to work with the immobilser, This guy is a legend he put auto windows on and miles to empty on the clocks he knows the MK4's electrical systems so well so big cheers ARD :afro:  and big cheers to rhyso and his vagcom for coding it all in so i can now disable my alarm open my windows start the car and adjust my mirrors all with one key  :smug:


also fitted the tip today bit dissappointed  that it has a extra hole thats not needed (so much for engine specific) so looks a bit pants with a bolt in it, i did put a shiny cap bolt in it to make it look a bit better, but the tip hasnt solved the running prob  :cry: :cry:
