You need a module with the same code number and you need to recode your keys to it as I've just done mine

No two different things the convenience module is under the steering wheel and controls central locking and electric windows. The door module is in the door and basically is a door lock

Just to butt in here - when I bought my Mk4 a couple of months ago the central locking didn't work from the key fob. After a bit of reading, I discovered the following which worked for me:


Not necessarily going to work for everyone, but with mine I could lock and unlock the drivers door, but not any of the others (you obviously need to press the key fob twice to unlock all other doors, but even this didn't work). Now it works fine, simply after disconnecting the battery - I believe it resets the convenience module (or maybe something else, I'm not sure).

You need to take all the trim off from underneath the steering wheel. The bow sits on a bracket and is held on by two torque screws I think there a link some were how to strip the dash. It's a easier job to get to. You may be able to do it without stripping it but it much easier
