It's no easier to code really. If you did have a two button one, which is about £120 for the key alone from VW, it would need coding to the immob then a further coding to the remote system which isn't any trouble. And just a beer will do matey.

Yeah, expensive those keys are, I don't know how much the blank ones are. I don't know if anyone else is any good at cutting one of those, I've only ever bought the key complete, from VW.
