Help,
my remote key has stopped working.The red light flashes when either the lock or unlock button is pressed.
I have changed the battery but it still does not work.
Is it worthwile getting a flip key as in the FAQ's or will I still have the same problem?
The car is an 05 reg.

Remote Locking and Unlocking

Thanks for the replies lads.
I have tried reprogramming using the 2nd non remote key and checked all of the fuses but no joy.
Any more ideas?

Ok,I have had a few replies.
Is that it then,it has to go to the stealers to have it sorted?
Anybody else got any ideas?

if the car was a second hand one it could have had extra keys paired to it and filled up all of the memory locations for keys, or you could have filled them up with 3 or 4 failed attempts with one key

if you get a problem like yours you need to delete all keys in the memory and start again

this will be a dealer job or you can do it yourself if you have the vag-com software and a lead to plug into the car

if you go to a dealer don't forget to give them your spare key too
