This is the response i had from the guy on ebay i bought my 'N' key from:
Hello,
This key is perfectly compatible with both serial numbers.
The reason why the forum says it is not is because other keys with serial number ending with N have a frequency of 434Mhz. However this key is 433Mhz which is the same as the A.
All you need to do is take the key to a VW dealer and they will do the programming for between 30-40 pounds.
The instructions I have provided will only let you program the remote to the central locking, you will still need to program the transponder to the imobiliser which can only be done by the dealer as they have the leads and machines required.
They will do all the programming for the same price therefore best thing to do is take the key there for programming. Only tell them that the key needs programming and they will do the rest.
Be assured this key is compatible because I have sold more than 200 of these within the last year and had no problems.
Regards,
Any suggestions on what i should go back to him with would be helpful as i had told him i have tried numerous ways to synch the remote to the car without success and that i have been told the N is not compatible with my car and would like to swap it for the A he also sells.
