VW FLip Key
« on: 02 May 2005, 16:54 »
Hey guys, just a quick question.  Ive got a Mk2 with a Cobra CAt 1 alarm with C/L fitted.  Have always liked the VW Flip key and was wondering if there is anyway of using the key to open and close me car rather than the cobra fob. Is it possible to program the VW key or take it apart and put the cobra innards inside??? Dont want a load of bulk in me pocket!!

Cheers
Rhys

Cool, thanks Joe. Only other option I've got is to buy a car with one but its a bit pricey that way!!  :smiley:

Any idea how he did it? Was it just a case of swapping over the gubbins??

Yeah, he just took out all the vw stuff from the key, and whacked the autowatch gubbins in :grin:

Glad u like gubbins; Ive no idea where i got that word from mind!! Just a bit worried the 'gubbins' from my cobra key fob wont fit cos its round and the VW key is rectangle! Oh well, only one way to find out!! :smiley:
