Key Fob Battery

[ChrisUK]

Hi All,

After doing the fuse 38 re-location & de-lock, I'll now have to keep some speare key fob batteries in the boot of the car incase they run out.

Anyone know what type to get ?

Thanks

I want a flippy key too, but dont want to spend £80 on it lol

You can get one sorted for about £35-40 mate. I paid about £40 for the lot.

where did you get your key coded at? or did u take out the transponder and all that?? cos my seat dealer said that the transponder in the key carnt b re coded or some bollocks!!

If you get a flip key with blank blade off ebay you just need to get it cut for about Five quid and then swap transponders over, OR recode a blank transponder using vag-com (i don't know how to do this) but there is a catch.....
You will have to refit the lock in the drivers door in order to code the key, but it can be set back to delocked once it's coded.

Cheers Adi.

Do you need to reinsert the barrel if you just swap transponders from my current key ?

ps - can i get any VAG flip key (VW Audi etc), or does it specifically have to be a SEAT one

You need to put the locking barrel in so you can pair the key to the car. You have to have one key in the ignition and one in the door to lock/unlock the car in sequence.
The transponder just comes straight out of one key and into the other without any problems.
The "S" badge to replce the VW badge is only about £2 or something.

i belive you do cos you have 2 code the key using the barrell and ignition.

the key your looking for in a 433Mhz or 434Mhz. it will say it on the side of your key now. both work ie if u have 433, 434 will work and visa versa.

So long as it is either 433 or 434MHZ it will work. VW round the figure up or down but the frequency is the same on all of them, just its something daft like 433.234 (for EG) so it gets rounded off.
My "old fashioned" key was 433 but my flip key is 434. no probs swapping them.

Excellent guys - another few quid spent........... lol

How do I programme the new key then with the barrel in the door again ? Is there a certain sequence to this ?

I'll dig it out and send it you mate. Its peice of cake to do but annoying that you have to refit the lock first.

Here is the guide. Its easy enough to follow if you remember that you leave the original key in the ignition, and use the new flip key (or any other key) to do the rest.

Key Fob Programming
VW/ Audi/ Seat/ Skoda

Remote Control Programming (1997 ON)
Procedure
Switch Ignition ON and leave key in the ignition.
Mechanically lock the vehicle using the Drivers door using a second key
Using the remote control press the Unlock button once, and the horn will sound once.
Wait 6 seconds and press the unlock button once to activate the coding procedure. The remote control will now be programmed.
Note: When performing programming on additional remotes the procedure is exactly the same, except you press the unlock button 2, 3 or 4 times for different remote.
For example: If programming 2 remotes press the unlock button twice with a 1 second interval between each press, repeat for 3 and 4 remotes.
Switch ignition OFF.
Remove key from ignition and check for operation.
The coding procedure can be repeated up to 4 times for additional remotes.
The ignition must be switched OFF between programming each remote control.

Remote Control Erasing (1997 ON)
Procedure
Switch ignition ON and leave key in the ignition.
Mechanically lock the vehicle using the Drivers door using a second key.
Press the remote control unlock button 5 times in 1-second intervals.
A short horn will sound.
Wait 6 seconds and press the unlock button once to activate memory erase.
Switch ignition OFF, all remotes are now tuned in..

Refitting the lock. What does this involve exactly, is it a tricky procedure?
