Your method didn’t work at all but i found very similar way and that one did the trick for me. 'Cycle' (turn) the key clockwise and counter-clockwise. Doing this locked and unlocked the car and the sidelights flashed as they normally do as if I clicked the fob to lock the doors. • Keeping the key in the door, now use the keyfob, to lock & unlock the car. • The keyfob should now be working!
Nice! My car was unlocked so my issue wasn’t getting into the car but locking it. All I had to do was follow your steps and insert the key into door, lock the car then open with unlock button on fob. Legend!
I didn't have to put either of my fobs in the ignition. Car was already unlocked before I reprogrammed 1st fob. All I done was put the key in the doorlock and locked it, while the led was a solid red I pressed the unlock button on the fob and it unlocked the car 😊 2ND fob the door was locked so just used the key to unlock then lock again and as before while the door led was solid red I pressed the unlock button. ❤Brilliant both fobs working again took less than 30 seconds to do both... Great Video and plenty different methods in the comments to try if video method is not your exact method 😎 thanks 👍
@@darrennewell4 the key was in the door lock still. If I remember correctly I didn't take it out until both fobs were working. It wasn't a conscious thing it was just when 1 worked I just repeated what I done and got the second 1 working again... my car is a 2011 passat b7 1.6tdi maybe useless information but just in case lol 🤝
Thank you. It worked on a 2013 Passat that we were working on. The car was brought in so we could work on something else that was wrong with it, then the damn thing wouldn't turn on afterwards because of this stupid key crap. I hate these types of fucking keys with fobs and shit.
How do I reprogram the fob if I don’t have a key for the door? The thing you pulled from the fob doesn’t fit in my door but fits perfectly in the glove box where the air bags are… (that goes for both of the fobs)
Thank you so much!!! My battery on my key fob stopped working and I put a new battery but it still wouldn’t lock or unlock and I didn’t even know my car had a key unlock on the door! Stuck it in there and it reprogrammed the key fob and now everything works thanks!!
You just saved me like 500 bucks. I had to turn the key to unlock it, and while holding it to unlock, press the unlock button on my key. I can lock the car using the physical key, but I can't unlock it without using the button on the key. Everything works now! Thank you so much!
Now this comment saved me 500 bucks. I knew how to open the the latch but didn’t realise I had to press the unlock button. Just when I thought there was no hope. Thanks so much!
Thanks! Yes you have to unlock the car with the secret key hold it in the unlock position the press unlock on the fob 🎉 and the fob is magically working again ... saved me over £100 not having to send off to reprogram unnecessarily
yes, definitely worked on my 2007 vw passat. Put the plastic key fob in the door lock, turn to unlock and hold it there, at the same time press unlock button on the remote control key. Key worked just fine after this. Thank you very much everyone.
@@tonymorse4573 I’m pretty sure it won’t start the car because the transponder needs to be programmed but I’m curious if the remote works for unlocking and locking using this mode
For me worked like this : press middle button.. open trunk (it was raining) and there i have pull out battery or the remote key and wait 1 minutes.. then put it back and worked.. also i have changed the battery after that.. with the key plastic that u put inside in door.. was not worked to open the door..but after that operation that i did it worked the remote and the key plastic in the door .. sorry i hope i make myself understandable.. English it's not my primary language ! 🤭😂👍🍻
I have a 2013 passat tdi sel. I have somehow managed to lock my fob IN my car TWICE. Thought it wasn't suppose to be able to do that???? My real question is this: I had to get a new car battery and now my remote start won't work. I cam unlock and lock doots just not remote start. Can I reprogram that,?
I have the same problem. The light on the fob is blinking when i press the buttons but nothing happens. Have tried everything and still nothing. I scanned the key and it shows it's transmitting but no lock/unlock works. Battery is new.
This methode won't work until you add these tips and Inchaa ALLAH it will work. 1) Make sure the battery is working (to make sure you ll notice that the trunk button and the lock button are still working, meanwhile the unlock button doesn't, and this could happen to both remotes at the same time). 2) Use the key to lock the car for 5 seconds (keep the key in the same position of locking until the 5 seconds pass) and unlock the car using the same method for 5 seconds. 3) Pull off the key and put it back in the remote (very necessary otherwise nothing will change). Press the lock button, after that press the trunk button (only once or twice until you see the red light on the remote starts showing), finally press the unlock button and it will work inchaa ALLAH.
Just gave this a try anyway and when I take the key out the fob and put it in the door lock it dont unlock or lock my car but i still need to be right next to my car to use the fob to unlock it
Im having all sorts of issues with key fob boot will pop up once in a moon lock and unlock depends on the mood 🥴 so if l pull out the small key and follow your steps everything will reset and work as new?
Thanks brother. Great video. My keys car doesn’t locked the doors so after I watched the video and I tried the doors locked. Congratulations my friend. Thank you so much
A new fob needs to be programmed with your car protocols so it can open, lock etc and only authorized personnel can do that unfortunately like dealers and vw
@@Adnankhanchannel1 somebody stole my purse w my key. 2020 Passat. Only was given one set when bought. So I ordered a new key through them. But only they can reprogram it? Cause now I’ll have to get my car towed to the dealership
Sorry to hear that but it’s true only they can reprogram the fobs or dealerships. Look for any specialists as well, may be they could help in reducing the cost down.
If you keep holding the button for more than five seconds then it opens the windows. It’s a normal vw key fobs programming. Anything different could be malfunction or re-programmed that way
hello mr.adnan my car is volkswagen passat b8 2018 keyless entry as your car, i lost my first key now i use second key. how i can make copy second key ? i need find way, thank you so much greetings from turkey 🇹🇷🙏
Hi thanks for the video, I’ve tried what you suggested in the video but I’m still having the problem, basically my key will not lock,unlock or pop the boot. I can place the key in the ignition to start the car but when I remove the key the ignition stays on and doesn’t turn off. The problem only happened recently as it all worked perfectly before. I really need some help as it’s draining my car battery and leaving me stranded . Please 🙏 help
Have you got another key fob? It could be anything but by the sound of it, it could have been damaged and try taking out the cell and clean the connectors ends with rubbing alcohol or spirit.
Try very very hard to only if emergency use that plastic key for popping off door handle cover or fuse boxes. Flat head screw driver is best if available. One day your key may break off in car door like mine. Because mine broke. Those keys are plastic and very very fragile so don't use for all that. then it may break off in future when just trying to reprogram fob.
Hello Adnan,my remote key distance is only 1 meter,how can I increase that on my vw cc 2013,please give me a help!! I have also replaced the battery with a new one but it still opetates in 1 meter!!The second key works fine and responds at about 30 meters. If you know something give a solution, thank you.
There is a reason why they have restricted the range to 1 meter, otherwise someone at home can accidentally press the button and your car will unlock. Why do you need more than 1 meter anyway?
@@Adnankhanchannel1 hi, after I messing about for a bit, I lifted one of the connectors that the battery lies on a touch and it's worked fine since thankfully.

You can only reprogram an existing reprogrammed key from the dealer. For a brand new key you would need to get a technician or dealer’s help

Thank you! That helped me a lot!

I have the same problem, but the safety key (fob) doesn’t go all the way in nor does it twist properly. Any advice please?
I hope there is nothing catching up inside the key otherwise it should just fit straight.

You’re my hero🙏 worked perfectly👌

did you fix your key fob and how?

Tank you ! For my it working. 🎉🎉🎉
Can you also delete a key that is lost?
I think the best people to answer this is VW itself
Mine blink but it does'nt lock/unlock even boot. Does it need reprogramming?
Did you order new set of keys? If so they would need programming at the dealer or with some Indy!
Hi Adnan, does it work for new OEM key fob?
Only if it’s preprogrammed
@@Adnankhanchannel1 What preprogrammed means? How the key fob from other car with same type and frequency?
A new fob needs to be programmed with your car protocols so it can open, lock etc and only authorized personnel can do that unfortunately like dealers and vw
