Got the same problem with my spare key. So when the missus uses the car i get stuck with the spare. Not good when you've de-locked the drivers door. Climbing throw the boot isn't fun with 3 headrests. Haven't made it to the ignition without the alarm going off yet!  :grin: Let me know if you find someone to do yours, will have to try and get my sorted also

Depending on the year, it may need a new key. Newer cars are onece coded only.

Sounds like the chip is damaged. Mk4 chips are a sort of glass type and they are usually bonded in. May need a new key.

You cant code a key with vagcom unless you have an SKC

Sorry its an old thread but VW and Audi key, remote, and immobilizer FAQ and troubleshooting (http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/immobilizer-VW-Audi-FAQ.htm)

VAG-COM won't programme keys without the SKC you need VAG TACHO (http://www.agson.net/documentation/VagTaxo_User_Manual_Eng_by_www.agson.net.pdf) or VAG Commander 1.4.
