Flip key

[Guinness]

Hi there sorry to post something that has been commented on so many times, but theres just 2 much information 2 read, Iv read most and just got a few questions u all may be to help with.

Im thinking of ordering a vw flip key as I only have 1 key for my seat and im told VW work fine with them, for the VW owning seat reason or whatever. Anyway I have a 433mhz key and I only have 1 transponder or whatever, so would the vw one be ok 2 program at the seat dealer to the car and in general would it work ok?

What I would suggets is - purchase a flip key from eBay, any frequency will do, my original key was a 433 and my flip key is a 434, get the blade cut, program it to your car, go to SEAT and get them to prog the immobiliser chip to your car. I bought my flip key from keyman99_uk (or similar) and it came as a brand new key, uncut blank with a new battery and transponder. Think its 30 - to quid for the chip programming.

Hope this answers your question.

Cheers.

chears mate thanks for that , the order to do things in was really helpfull, main problem I had was if the SEAT garage would program the transponder for a VW flip key as some people had said they had, had problems with SEAT saying it couldnt be done etc

 

[davels]

thats probably down to most SEAT dealers being G*TS

 

[Guinness]

yer lol

 

[gazjones]

so i take it yopu dont have a spare key to swap your transponers over with?

 

[Guinness]

nope I dont have a spare one, thus the reason for the question would seat program another one lol

 

[gazjones]

yea they should do that but might ask to code all your keys at once thats what i was told by vw

 

[Guinness]

al ring em up when a get some money and time. See what they say

As far as I know, you can't just register an additional transponder with the ECU, you have to zero the immobiliser memory and add all the keys again. This is a security feature, to stop someone being able to add a key while the car is out of your hands.

Correct...

All keys have to be coded together, not sure why but Muttley's theory makes total sense.

[Guinness]

great so this means If I need another key kut, I have 2 get both transponders coded, probably meaning I need 2 buy a new 1 for the other key 2 knowing seat, robbing tw***

 

[davels]

ah you know them too well

 

[tasty_kebab]

Arent the new Leon's using flip keys nowadays? Would prob be easier to get that one so you wouldnt have to put Seat badge on afterwards, no?

 

[gazjones]

still have to remove the badge and they are all 3 button so look a bit wrong and there are no used ones out there or new ones on ebay

 

[Guinness]

av set this back in my priorities now, the bloke who owned the car before me sent the spare down yay! still going 2 do it at a later date methinks
