Spare Key problems

[bigrichw]

Hello

I have just dug out my spare key, and put a new battery in it - however it wont open or close doors remotely. It will open them but will not dis-arm the alarm - so when you open the door the alarm sounds - but it will start the car - any ideas?

Thanks

I had this saved in a word document from when I had a MkIV, never used it though so can't say for definite it'll work.

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
