Key Programming

Re: Key Programming
There isn't a limit except for the fact that every wrong try increases the lockout time (if you enter the wrong pincode more than once or twice you have to leave the ignition on for a period of time - displayed in one of the measuring blocks)

Shop eBay Canada Store - THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY STORE:: Parts Accessories, Car Electronics is the store where I purchased mine. Gotta make sure the numbers are matching to the one you already have from all that I have read though.

Re: Key Programming
Thanks for the post. Just bought a used Avant with two key fobs that didn't work remotely. Followed the instructions and both are functioning as they should. I can't help but think that the PO was probably pissed off every time he had to open the car by putting the key into the door when he had these key fob's that didn't work...especially when the fix was pretty simple.

Re: Key Programming
Okay I need to replace the battery for my key (switchblade) and I'm wondering if I need to reprogram my key? If I need to reprogram, do I need to reprogram both keys? I'm asking because I've read that a few people are having issues with one of the keys not working. Another question is, is the battery I need a lithium CR2032? 5 pc SONY CR2032 CR 2032 3v Lithium Battery NEW Exp2019 on eBay.ca (item 250499808432 end time 09-May-11 15:08:14 EDT)
I drive a 2004 A4 1.8TQ and the key looks like this

Re: Key Programming
the CR2032 is the right battery. If it's opened for more than a min or so it will require re-synching but not reprogramming. Turn the key on in the ignition and when it is on push the lock or unlock button. Remove the key and try it - should work (unlock only if the door is open, the lock button may not work)

God damn eBay!!! I guess I was due to be burned.
I bought one on these keys for $40 and had it cut for another $40 and then took it to the dealer to have it programmed. The dealer determined that the remote could not be programmed making it effectively worthless.

Re: Key Programming
I am seriously curious about this, as I had the exact same issue. Now realistically what are the chances that we both got bad key fobs? Hmmmm. Gotta find someone with a vagcom who can figure out the pin code and see ifmthey can do anything.
