- key reprogramming transponder
well i've just ordered x2 transponder ships - should be here for weekend and will look at moving forward then
Have you read any of this thread or others?
You can get it done for £50 or less in some cases.

yep, so far my cost has been £18 for flip key and fob + £12 for 2 transponders + £3 for new blade + what should be £45 to program the transponder
total= £78
only reason its cost more, 1) i broke my old transponder and 2) the key cutter fudged my key!

costing me about same as volvic, plus like fact i'm learning something
j t hughes seat of oswestry quoted me 155 inc vat for key cut and code, no thankyou.
ships may be a bit overkill, bloody grammar checkers

Split the key with a small screwdriver using the little cut out in the middle of the key, then pop the little badge off (quite difficult to not damage it but i used a pen knife) and there is philips screw behind it. Remove screw and key will come apart. Find little glass transponder (its glued in the corner) and remove (carefully if you need it or not if you dont lol) and fit new transponder with a blob of glue. Reverse to rebuild key mate and i used a litle blue tac to stick the badge back so if i ever need to remove it again i wont damage it (had it in the key for 8 months now and has never fallen out).
cheers dainott2105, will have a go tonight when home and sort with garage after two weeks of sunshine in majorca - hopefully all will be good and x2 flip key for me

Can I just ask if anyone can confirm how it is re-programmed?
I lost my Central locking key and am just left with the key that you physically have to use in the lock to open the doors.
I'm gonna buy a new key, or even a flip key from ebay, and am gonna delve into VAG-Com to program it.
Do I need to program the physical key at the same time? (i.e. does the CCU remove all programmed keys when I program the new one)
Do I need a Code to put into VAG-Com before I can do anything?

You will need your SKC code before you can do anything key related on VAG-COM. The car will not "forget" your other key unless you tell it to.
If you don't have your SKC, you'll need VAG-Tacho to extract it from your immobiliser. If you're near North Yorkshire/Teeside, give me a shout and I'll do it for you.

I guess the SKC Is something that might have been on a litle tag on my original key... if so, can't find that.
Is this something that Seat can provide me with if I ask them?
Mines a 4 digit number, but the facelift are 7 digit iirc.
If you don't have it vag-tacho or the dealers are your only options.

The SKC is 4 digits regardless of whether its pre or post facelift. The dealer gets a 7 digit code sent over the VAG network direct to the car when coding keys.
If you pull the immo code using VAG tacho it is always 4 digits and this will allow you to program your immobiliser to accept new keys using either VAG-Com or VAG-Tacho. You will not find it on the sticker in the front of your service book.
