So FunkyFin, how did you finally get your SKC code ?

Did you have the heart stopping moment when you set the numbers of keys to zero (to clear it out) and then coding the first key failed ?

It happened to me, and I have read of it doing the same for others !
Worked when I repeated things though..

Alls well that ends well, all sorted now !

See for yourselves lads. There's nothing on the fob but for the CE mark


Just for anyone in the future, the new keys that arent marked on the outside there is a disc under the battery that has all the codes on it

Just got my 3 button Alhambra key cut at Timpsons(George Street Hove) for £6 I have been quoted between nothing much(charity tin) to £32 by a mobile dealer.

I need help though I have my original blippy key and it broke hence the need for a new key how do I recode the alarm part. The red light doesnt work I think the blipper part of the key is terminal.

I am getting vag-com to do the immobiliser part but I am not sure whether that can match the car to the alarm.

I am going to try a mates key by sticking the board in his key. If he willl allow me to take his key apart ;).

Apart from that any ideas most welcome and thanks to everyone for their contribution to the flip key thread.

I have been watching this thread for some time now but am still a little unsure, can i ask for some confirmation from the Gus / Girls that have acuatally done it.
My car is a Mk3 Ibiza Sport
My standard key is Siemens 433.97 MHZ

1:Can i use a VW/Seat 433 or 434 MHZ key ? or eather one ,does it matter ?

2: As i dont have VAGcom can i take the transponder from my spare key & use that in a flip key ?

3:Get new blade cut at local locksmiths ?

4:match to car with guide ?

Thanks for any info
