Have you contacted both VW & Cobra dealers for advice?

If you want a spare key then yes you will need one with a transponder in it. Your local Timpsons can programme keys. They can't programme the central locking fobs though, this can only be done with Vagcom.

Half right.... yes any key cutters can do you a spare key.


No mk3 alarm systems cannot be accessed though vagcom, you will need a Cobra dealer alarm specilist to code a fob.
