fair enough, not to go off topic, but what the arosa like mate, and how long before you remap it??

After going to about 4 different Timpsons and getting the 'can't do it' response, I thought sod it and went to VW, and oly got charged a tenner

But now i can't get the damn Skoda sticker out

Not bad, think you got a good dealer there.

My SEAT dealer wanted £170 to get a key cut. (Apparently they can't do it in the UK )

I tried to set it to a zero but it wouldn't let me. I haven't done a channel 00 read and save as I'm a bit worried about what other settings that will wipe!

what version of vag com are you using?

what version of vag com are you using?

4.09 (or whatever it is) registered with a flebay cable.

Got my flip key today and they have supplied me with a cut blade and not the uncut blade as it said in the item description.

So an email has been fired off to them to see what they're going to do about it.

and you followed these instructions?

 

[IainW]

Is it simple enough to fit a new blank blade? The seller tells me to send the key back to them for a refund, but I'd rather just order a new blade from eBay instead of doing that, then looking for another key again.

 

[st10587]

yep easy to change the blade, just push out the small roll pin swap the blades then put the roll pin back in

 

[IainW]

Cheers. I'll just order a blade then.

 

[Chemical Al]

always get the blade cut when not joined to the rest of the fob

Anyone know where to get a spare roll pin?

 

[AwesomeAl]

As daft as this sounds, Does it matter what car the flip key comes off as I am hoping to get this sorted for my mum's Mk4 FR TDI.

 

[Dan-Alhambra]

Is it 433 or 434 for a 98 alhambra...

You'll need to pull your original key in bits to find out what is printed on the inside. On some keys its etched onto the inner body of the key, on others its on a slip of paper under the battery.

Although a few people on here have found that it doesn't matter what mhz you buy as they seem to be backward compatible!!
