flip key info thread

[RichieRich]

the one that works - HL0 1J0 959 753 A (the rounder type buttons)
the one that doesnt work HL0 1J0 959 753 AH (the squarer type buttons)
its a year 2000 so means the earlyer control module i guess?

In this thread it says that inside the spare key (non button key) there should be a transponder chip. is anyone able to explain to me what the chip should look like?
i have a picture of the key taken apart and am unsure wether the transponder is the little cylinder in the corner of the key?
as i say i have the photo but dont know how to upload it to the forum.

hi dave its a little glass cylinder tube thing about a cm long its a buggar to get out without breaking it mind so be careful unless ur replaceing it with a new one but then u will need vag-com to cync a new transponder to the car

to me it looks like you need the "n" one but i could be wrong

Sorry for my ignorance in refusing to read all 53 pages of this thread, but have we established whether its possible to just reprogram the car to accept the immobiliser transponder in the new flip key fob, rather than messing around swapping the transponders across from the old spare key... im a bit worried about breaking it!!

if you cant be arsed to read it why should we be arsed to reply?


if you have your skc then you can program new ones easily, you could also use a reader to get the skc, or you can just swap the "spare" transponder

 

[dave_chandler]

don't mean to be dumb but what is a skc?
do you think either of the keys i have listed will work?
cheers

 

[WildChild88]

SKC = "Secret Key Code", comes with the car when bought new on a black tag, and allows you to use VAG-COM to reprogram transponders to your car. Unless like me, one of the previous owners never passed it on!!


And because I'd read enough to learn what I needed to, and was just wondering if it was possible to get around the whole transponder-breaking business . Its ok now though, I ripped my spare key apart and realised it wasnt even glued in! Result...

 

[dave_chandler]

Does that mean I can basically use any vw flip key as long as it is rould 434 mhz? On the condition I use my transponder obviously,
I have a seat ibiza mk4 2.0 sport by the way

 

[dave_chandler]

Yeah, 433, 433.92 and 434 all appear to be the same

Hit and miss here, will the boot button on a 3 button remote work with a Mk4 2002 Ibiza Sport TDI?

If so, will any 3 button VW/Audi remote work?

 

[Chemical Al]

yeah, should do.

press and hold will unlock the boot and un set the alarm, then when boot is shut it will relock and rearm the alarm

 

[pow]

Excelent, will get bidding on a 3 button key then!

 

[Chemical Al]

i used a 1J0 959 753 AH with mine

 

[WildChild88]

i used a 1J0 959 753 AH with mine

Same here, and works fine on 55 Ibiza SX (Mk4 obviously), including the boot button.

Got my flipkey working today I bought the flipkey, key cutting and Seat badge from ebay. I just had to take a photo of my key, email it to them and they cut a blank key and it arrived today, less than 24 hours after ordering it on ebay! All works fine apart from the boot unlock button.

 

[Chemical Al]

with the car locked, you press and hold the boot button for 2 or 3 seconds, not just a "dab" of the button
