flip key info thread

[Wardy TDi]

Yeah, good isn't it - knew the score as my previous Fabia vRS had the same key and setup.

I keep playing with that as I haven't got my flip fully operational yet, due to still trying to get the transponder out of its very glued position in the spare key!!

Also having a lot of trouble getting the VW badge of the back. Doesn't want to budge at all. Any tips?

sharp pin or something like that wardy?

 

[Wardy TDi]

For getting the transponder out, or the badge, or both?

Bit worried about smashing the transponder to be honest. Can't see the glass being that thick on them.

graft knife to get the badge off took me a while as i did nother one yesterday for maxcars1 and used the craft knife to get the transponder out the old remote key. as he had two button keys and not a plastic key only key. took me a while but did a bit as a time and it came out

Yeah it took me about 1/2 an hour to get the transponder out. You really gotta take it slowly - have a break every 5 minutes because you'll get annoyed otherwise!!

Right then.....

Im changing keys.....

Ive got....

3 keys........2 that have transponders that have been used on other cars (VW's and Audi's) and 1 that's from my car...

I have my 4 digit SKC code...

am i presuming correctly i can reprogram the transponder chips in the keys with this method here:

http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/car...ng-4digit.html

and that will get me up and running?

Or do you have to use VIRGIN transponder chips? IE once matched to a car you can't use them again?

Is it really THAT easy to match the keys to the car??

Ordered my badge 23rd of december ("will take a week") phoned them up yesterday and they said "I will be completely honest with you, I don't think we have ordered it, I can get you one for tomorrow"

Picked it up today, black and crome, looks cool.

£39.15 in total for my key, I am happy with that.

 

[justlivyalife]

Excellent news . Somehow I prefer the VW badge though? It's brighter ya'know?

 

[daniel_owen_uk]

Well if anyone wants a VW one I have one for sale

(if I can find it that is)

 

[justlivyalife]

Lol. I scratched mine to buggery getting it off the key in the end!!!
