Mk4 key Fob
« on: 03 February 2012, 22:18 »
Quick question. I have a blank mk4 golf key. I also have a aftermarket central locking system on the mk3 with remote.

Is it possible to swap the chip inside the mk3 fob into the mk4? I miss my mk4 key lol!

Cheers!

Sorry i miss read and meant the imobliser chip,but as for the fob it depends on the size of your fob internals as some will just not phisically fit inside the mk 4 fob,also where the button placment is ,best to open them both up and compare,a dremmel may be handy for  gutting the mk4 key,shaping it to accept the mk3 fob internals  :smiley:
