Title: Battery in key fob
Post by: Granta Gti on 30 June 2012, 08:23

The mk4 I'm doing work on the key fob doesn't work so I thought it was the battery in the fob, I have opened the fob and can't see a battery, am I just being thick or do they not have replaceable batteries?

As in synced to the remote locking??  Changing the battery doesnt affect the immobiliser part of the key.  Well, it didnt on mine  :smug: and it shouldnt do on anyones

You can re-sync the key providing you have a second key or vagcom  :nerd:

The battery needed is a CR2032, like these (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-Lithium-Battery-Batteries-KCR2/dp/B003A5L83K/ref=pd_cp_ce_2). 25p a battery. Cheap as chips.

VW/AUDI/SEAT/SKODA

Remote Control Programming (1997 ON)
Procedure
1. Switch Ignition ON and leave the key in the ignition.

2. Mechanically lock the vehicle using the Drivers door using a second
key.

3. Using the remote control press the Unlock button once, and the horn
will sound once.

4. Wait 6 seconds and press the unlock button once to activate the coding
procedure. The remote control will now be programmed.

NOTE : When performing programming on additional remotes the procedure
is the same, except you press the unlock button 2, 3 or 4 times for the
different remote.

For example : If programming 2 remotes press the unlock button twice with
a 1 second interval between each press, repeat for 3 and 4 remotes.

5. Switch Ignition OFF.

6. Remove key from ignition and check for operation.

7. The coding procedure can be repeated up to 4 times for additional remotes.

8. The ignition must be switched OFF between programming each remote
control.
