How to program key fobs WITH ONLY ONE KEY for a MK4 VW GTI, Jetta, passat, or Beetle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- Tutorial on programming extra or spare key fobs for the MK4 generation VWs. This particular car is a 2002 VR6 GTI. It will likely work with others, you just have to try.
I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF IT WILL WORK WITH YOUR PARTICULAR YEAR OR MODEL. Please don't ask.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. The way I used a screwdriver as a key and got that place worked perfectly on my 2002 Jetta GLS. But the programming itself didn't work on the way you showed. I went VW's website and found an instruction to program the key fob. Instead of holding the key on the door for 10 seconds I locked and unlocked, then pressed the unlock key(the car honked) and that was it.
So guys! If it doesn't work on your vehicle try other methods. I'm super glad I fixed my key fob thanks to the author. It was way easy to remove that part from the door and fix it. Thanks!
Cool. Glad you got it figured out even though it was a little different.
man im here 7 years later and ts came in clutchh fuck the dealership 😭
Amazing tutorial. I got it right first try. Thank you, nice to do those main dealers out of loads of money for a simple operation.
Noel Ahearne glad it helped. :)
Unbelievable. I haven’t had a Volkswagen since high school in 1979. This is 1999 and what a delight to do the alarm
THIS WORKED! my other car was sat in the garage for months as my key barrels were all seized and screwed and the mechanic (my long time friend and neighbour) genuinely thought the only way to get it fixed was to change all the locks and keys and get them reprogrammed which would be £££s! this took all of 10 seconds!!!!
Raza THATS AWESOME! Glad it helped. I can’t believe how many people it’s helped.
Phatphatyo honestly dude - frisking unbelievable ... mechanic was gobsmacked

Wow! Did this on my 2000 Beetle and the key fob now works great. Thanks, I owe you a beer😆
Haha awesome! Glad it worked out.
Great tutorial! This also works with only one key fob in the ignition lock, ie. if you have no valet key and are replacing the fob part on your only key. Mine didn't honk when turning the screwdriver, it honked after I had pressed the new fob in the ignition lock a few seconds. I pressed one of the buttons a second time after it honked, and it works now.
Awesome. Glad it helped. A couple other people said the same thing- that it didn’t honk right away but did with the press of the button. Weird, but as long as it programs. 👍🏼
Excellent tutorial! My wife's 2k Beetle (UK) has only one key, so got a fob from ebay. My problem is the driver's door has a dodgy solder joint on lock, so I tried it passenger side and it works!! Mine chirped after pressing the new fob the 2nd time. Thanks again, very helpful
Awesome. Glad to hear it
I wouldn't have thought to try the passenger side. Awesome. Good to know for everyone else that tries.
This worked perfectly. Took two times to get it to go into program mode. But once it did it was very simple. Thank you.
Awesome!! Thanks for the good feedback. It makes making videos worth it. Subscribe if you want more Vw tips and tricks. Thanks again!
Good observation for me the way it works is the same but i just make the copy of the key put it without pull the cylinder key and i twisted to the left 5 or 10 seconds and 5 or 10 seconds to the right...until the car beeps ..also works on audi models when you change your battery got disable..so is easy to do it..i haven't done this way..great tip..
Thx! Glad it helped. Good to know it works on audis too.
I have a 2001 Passat that I've been sweating having only one key to it since buying the car 5 years ago. This video has made my day, EBay, here I come!
Haha awesome. That’s about how I felt til I figured it out. Good to hear.
Great video. Thank you for pointing out the difference between the beetle lock fix point and golf lock fix point and the importance of not dropping screw (neat trick btw) worked first time for me and perfect as I only have one key.. 💯 % kudos & many thanks
Thanks for the kudos. I don't do many tutorials so it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that it's helped so many people. I wish I didn't sell the car. :( I miss it and every comment reminds me that I do.
Duuuude!!! I was about to pay $500 for a dealer to order and program a FOB for me until I found this vid. All I had was the valet key. Ordered a $24.00 FOB on Amazon and with the help of your video programmed it myself. You are a VW hero!!! 🦸♂️
Best thing I’ve heard all day. That’s awesome and I’m glad to hear that it helped. I was in the same boat.

👍👍👍👍
Good tutorial! Note: you don't need to pry that lock with a screwdriver jusr use your key in the lock and gently wiggle it out then pry it to spare the paint on the door. And please remember folks not all key fobs teachable to the car. It depends what type of part number the key has. It has to match with the car's comfort module.
Geripappa true. Didn’t think of walking it out with the key. Good call. And you’re right about the fob. I’ve had a lot of people ask me about their fobs not working. Match that part number for sure.
@@Phatphatyo yeah I'm doing this a lot. There are 2 major group of CCMs (the fob receiver) the 1j0 kind and the 1C0 kind. Thanks for the video!
Geripappa you bet. Hope it helped. Thanks for the positive comments. It’s not everyday that you get something constructive on your wall. :)
@@Geripappa добрый день. Скажите пожалуйста а ауди а3 2004 года можно так же брелок привязать?
Thank you, i did the same thing as shown and i now have a new key :-)
Sinisa Sekulic glad to hear it helped!
Today I've finally tried to program a keyfob and I succeded thanks to your video so big shout-out to you my man
Glad it helped. Thanks for posting the fob info
Worked good! Only thing is my key fob won’t unlock the hatch but will unlock and lock the doors🤔 any ideas?
It'll unlock it but you still need to open it via the door or key. I called a dealer, that's what they told me *shrug*
Awesome, thanks man! I did this on an Audi A3 8L but you really have to take the door apart to get to the lock.
Would have I known it, I´d just make a new key but now it´s done and work perfectly!!!
Andre Petraudze right on. Glad it’s helpful!
Does this also work for programming the key to start the car? Or are additional steps needed? I have an 03 Jetta and I don't like just having one working key.
CrossoverKen no it only programs the fob portion for the locks and panic. You’d still need to program the immobilizer (the chip) at a dealer or use a vagcom or something.
Thanks guys was gonna ask same question. Thanks phat.
This worked on my 2003 VW Beetle but I had to turn the lock counter clockwise to get into program mode. Nice video, thanks.
Interesting. You’d think they were all the same. Glad it helped though.
@@Phatphatyo No, thank you buddy. I had no Idea how to do it without an extra key. You're the man.
What a fucking legend!

Glad it was helpful
On our 1998 Golf GL we had to turn the key to the Left not right, but worked like a charm
Did you remove the lock?
Dang, you are really good at this. Clear, concise, but thorough. Subscribing.
Dontwannagivemyname thanks! Glad it helped
Thanks man, that really helped me a lot...
Good. Glad it did. :)
VW Golf 4 1.9 TDI 1999 doors5. The way it WORKED for me is like this: I have 2 keys, for X reason both of them stopped working, i bought new batteries but didn't work , i tried many methods to reprogram but didn't work, and at the last moment i found out that My drivers side door didn't open all doors when i use the key, but the opposite door of driver whenever i try to unlock it activated my 6 car signals(and opened all doors) same like the key fobs, so i closed THAT door with key and kept the key turned closed, and i click the Open button on the other key and the door immediately tried to OPEN, than i did the same with other key by swapping them, try this it worked so easy for me and i thought this might help cause i waste whole day trying to find the solution.
I don't know if it works with just one key because i already made them work try but by keeping the key turn closed and by clicking the button on that same key might do the trick. Good luck :)
Nice. Thanks for the input. Hopefully that helps someone.
Thanks for the tutorial!
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH I did this to my a4 b6 and it worked!!! I’m so so happy I can’t thank you enough
*thecreator101* _ awesome! Glad it was helpful
Funny prank, connect like 10 keys to your friends car
I picked up a new key for $5 on eBay, had it cut for $40 & programed it per the video. Thanks for the video! 🐕🦺
Nice. Glad it helped
Nice!
Where can I get this keys cut? My local Ace hardware wasn't able to cut it.
Tank you.
Awesome and thanks. Also, great job explaining everything clearly and on point.
I’m glad it was helpful. I’m new to the tutorial world. I don’t claim to be good at making them. 😀
This video it really help me out. Thank you for doing this video. On my first try was perfect all thanks to you.
Awesome. It’s good to hear that it was helpful.
This is not working on my mk4 golf .. Idk if it is because my new fob is used and programmed to another car.. Or because the fob isn't compatable? Because there is 3 diffrent fobs there the one with the metal blue and white logo which is the old one.. There is the 2 newer ones that have the black and silver plastic logo.. But from those 2 the first version still comes apart easy like the old fob and the 2nd version is hard to take apart because it has locking pins and that's the one I have?????
Saved me money on having vw programming my new key thanks man for posting this video it worked great ..
Awesome. Super cool to hear positive feedback. Feel free to subscribe for more VW videos and tips.
Excellent. Local locksmith wanted £140 ($140) and the car for an hour to do this. Crafty rat. Thanks for sharing.
- IISUPERSAM glad it helped. :)
This video helped me alot, not in the way I hoped it would but it fixed another issue I didn't even knew until now it existed :D.
Both switches of the electric lock system on the driver's door are broken, they make the "click" sound but nothing happenes so ironically, I can't enter the programming mode.
Both keys needs to be Programmed, but before that I need to replace the switches (hopefully not the lock itself), I can still close all door on the back. But, yeah, TY for the tutorial tho
Awesome. Glad it was helpful.
Thank you veru much for a wonderful tutorial, i have just done it on a 2012 polo vivo and it was successful the first time.
Awesome!! I’m glad to hear that it was helpful. It’s certainly cheaper than paying a dealer.
worked! for me. honked when key was learned. Very happy!
Awesome! I'm super glad I made this video. I couldn't find a good tutorial so I thought I would make one so people wouldn't have to do as much homework as I did but I'm glad it helped you. Thanks for watching.
I have my original remote key but got missing little bulb and battery , so I brought it fob case with new battery and bulb so , I used the battery and bulb in my original fob key and is lighting but not opening or looking car apart from manually. please any idea help ! many thanks .
2002 WV Jetta 1.9 TDI...tried this procedure a few times....No luck, but, me and anything electronic never have gotten along very well to start off with !
Great video...Thanks. LIKED/SUBSCRIBED !
Well bummer. Sorry it didn’t work. Ive heard it has worked on some years and models that I was a little surprised to hear but I’ve also heard a few people say that it hasn’t worked on models awfully similar. Yours for example is the same year even. Both are mk4s and both 2002 to boot so that’s super weird. Oh well I guess. Thanks for the sub!! That helps me out a ton.
@@Phatphatyo
I just tried it again 9 months later...same results !
Happy Thanksgiving America !
Screww Googlle dang that’s super weird. It’s worked for so many people. Many were the same year. Sorry about the bad luck. Thanks for trying so we all know. Maybe it doesn’t work for all of them.
Thanks for posting this i just ordered another eboard for a key that got wet & this will help mucho!
Chris M T nice. Glad it helped.
Thanks pal for the upload. Will give it a try. Say this method does not work. Do you think that it is the central locking module that needs replacing?
Shoot I’m not sure if there’s a locking module or if it’s just the main ecu that recognizes the signal from the fob. Maybe a little research there would be good. Never thought of that.
did work, using your and another video and another comment below, so many ways and details how to do it uhh, 2hours work with searching, trying and did it
Wow. Well I’m glad you got it.
Are there any model years that this won't work on? We bought a replacement fob/key for a 2015 Jetta SE TSI when our son lost the spare, thinking we could just get an auto locksmith to program it for us (not a dealer as they charge too much and usually want you to buy a fob from them) but every locksmith we called said they could only program up to year 2014.
I don’t know he years. It works for about anything mk4, I’ve heard mk5 and 6, I don’t know about 7.
Not all heros wear capes. Thank you!
This worked perfectly. Saved me probably a hundred dollars.
That’s great to hear! I’ve got a couple other little vw tips and tricks videos if you wanna subscribe. No pressure though. Thanks again for the feedback.
Thanks a lot, works perfect!
Greatings from the Netherlands, Europe.
Guido Kessen Awesome. Glad it helped.
Awesome!! Worked first shot on my kids 2007 Jetta city. Thanks so much.
Awesome. Glad it helped. Someone was just saying yesterday that it didn’t work on a mk5. Glad it did on yours.
I’ve tried this on my 2002 1.6 SE on both locks and unlocking and locking and had no joy but I’ve only got a spare key so I don’t even know if it originally came with a fob, is there a way I could check ?
Josh T I’m not sure how to tell if it had a fob. I would think that 2002 would have. This car is a 2002 and it had them. For what it’s worth though I used the spare key in the video. The fob shown isn’t the original. It only had the spare when I bought it.
Awesome video; l notice you used a screwdriver as a key to lock the doors- l also noticed that the door was opened when you turned the screwdriver to lock the door. My question is couldn't you have simply pressed the power locks on the door panel to lock the door and get the same programming affect?
I don’t think so because you have to hold it there but shoot now that you mention it I wonder if you could hold the actuator there. It’s not good for it I’m sure but I wonder if you could. You have me curious now.
I have a problem with my car at the moment not driven it for 2 weeks and it now sounds like a racing car, not sure if it’s the exhaust or the fact I’ve not driven it, plus my alarm keeps going off same model golf mk4
Great video.. it worked on my 2010 Jetta mk4.5 (latinamerican version of Jetta mk4) the only issue i had is with the trunk button "doesn´t work" only locks and unlock the doors! do u have the same issue?
Oberto Cuadro no mine did the trunk too
thanks for this... I thought I had a bad battery out of package... put a volt meter on it and then became perplexed as it was over 3 volts... so on a lark I searched for programming keyfob for my TDI... Cheers!
Jake Robinson glad it helped.
I may have spoke too soon - I assumed it would work - gave it a try... followed directions exactly. No joy. Does this indicate that maybe the battery is not making a good connection? I tested the battery with a volt meter and it's 3+ volts. My car has never been able to lock the driver's door with the key fob. I used vag com to program my fob to roll all 4 windows up/down. I had to get out of car, roll windows down and hit the door lock rocker switch by reaching inside the car... then use my fob to roll up windows. I've lived with this for many years and has been fine. My key fob just stopped working yesterday and I bought new battery tonight... watched your video and thought I would solve my problem... any ideas?
Jake Robinson shoot I don’t know. If it was already programmed I would assume just a new battery wouldn’t unprogram the fob. Dumb as it sounds check the fob to see if it is lighting up when you hit the buttons. Maybe the battery didn’t go in quite right or make a good connection.
thanks for replying. i'll double check that...
I don't know if someone mentioned this already, but if you back out the screw exactly 12 turns the lock will easily come out.
jbrown7441 dude that’s a sweet way to do it. I don’t know that anyone did. Good call.
you are a life saver! thank you so much! I am eternally grateful for this tutorial.
TheGrimriftstalker AWESOME! I'm glad it helped. All I could find when I was in your situation was piss poor half tutorials and "this may work" sort of things so I had to make one for other people that were looking for one. I can't promise it was done well but it works. :)
You did enough of a good job for an idiot like me to follow from memory, lol.
Didn’t honk for me but if you follow his exact movements it worked perfectly. Trying again? Just remove the key and trace his steps! Thanks man
There’s been some that say it honks and some say it doesn’t. I don’t know what the difference is but mine honked. 🤷
Hey just wanted to say thank you this worked also on my 2001 Volkswagen Beetle
Awesome I’m glad it helped.
Nice and clear video, unfortunately I am in a situation where I lost my only one Key FOB for my VW 2000 MK4 GTI, all I have is the valet key, the car is locked and when I open with the valet key the and try to start the alarm goes off. Any suggestions. Thx in advance.
That’s a chip problem it sounds like. The valet key would need to be reprogrammed to the car if it has a chip and if it doesn’t it needs one.
@@Phatphatyo hello sorry I stay incorrected, tried the valet key to start the car started no issues, but it alarmed for 45 seconds and then the alarm went off, drove the car for 10-12 miles no issues. Its just that when I shut the car the alarm went off again and then stopped after 45 seconds or so. I guess I will order a key and program it. Many Thanks
@@aamirmoinuddin9904 oh okay. That’s just an alarm issue then. It doesn’t sound like the chip of it lets you drive it. The alarm is armed.
@@Phatphatyo thanks you. Well after all the trouble of figuring out the key remote issue my Key Fob that I lost was found and was turned into my local police department and I had Posed on FB on my town community page and a good citizen found it. But I ordered the 2 key fobs and I will program it based on you video tutorial. Thanks again.
@@aamirmoinuddin9904 wow that’s awesome that you got it back. Sometimes people are awesome.
I’m about to try this, this weekend. I’ll be back to comment again!!wish me luck😂!
I’ll try and check comments a couple of times this weekend in case you have trouble. Go get it. It’s not too bad of a process.
Excellent video dude!! You explain it well and to the point
Good to hear. Thanks.
hey great video, but i just wanted to ask, if you did order a new blade on the key fob you wanted to start using. would the blade work once the car has learned the new key fob. thanks
zvkeria yeah it would have. I didn’t, no. I left the key in the ignition. Ha. I looked into doing it. The fob would have still remembered the electronic part that does the locks. However, you would need to program the immobilizer chip in the key fob for the new key. That part you either need a vag-com device for or take it in.
Nice work well done!
My Issue is that I have lost orginal key and i need to buy new one. The driver door key stuck in drivers door lock so even with new key it is not going to turn left or right respectivly close or open. I just wonder what do i need to do to fix the door lock before programing a new key
Ahmed Alshehri good question. Can you grab it with tweezers or something?
Thanks so much for this video! I am in a similar situation, I bought a 2000 VR6 GTI on Craigslist and it only came with one fob key (the fob buttons don't actually work, probably dead battery lol) and no valet key. So if I order another fob key on eBay, will this fob programming process work for me using my original fob key in the ignition instead of the valet key, like you did? Thanks!
Yeah it will. The only thing that won't work is the key blade itself that you order. A good example is my video. The fob key I had didn't work in the ignition because it was to a different car but the fob did work. The one you'll want (I THINK- DOUBLE CHECK ME) is HLO 1J0 959 753
I literally have the fob with the blade . It unlocks but don't lock, any ideas how to do it with 1 key ?
Mr Rees yeah unless the button went bad- this video shows you how. Except you’ll want to program the same fob instead of a different one. I’d unlock works but lock doesn’t you may have a problem with the fob itself. Give it a shot. Only takes 5 min but if it doesn’t work then it will tell you that it’s the fob that’s bad. You can always buy another and just swap the blades out.
I got two different Keys one to start the engine and one to open the trunk and I just got a new remote I wanted to program it to my car what is work cuz both of my front doors are messed up I was trying to use the same method but with the trunk lock
Worked great, thank you! I did run into problems with the Trunk release button however. Lock/Unlock/Panic programmed but trunk does nothing. But the LED on the replacement fob flashes red for the Trunk button and the other fob original to the car can pop the trunk ok. It just... sends the command wrong somehow? Idk how Lock/Unlock could work but not trunk.
Oh weird. What year and model was it? My trunk release worked on my mk4 and my mk5
hi! I have a question that I would really love answered. The problem is my passat 2002 tdi came with a remote as a flip key, the problem is the battery have been changed as far as im aware of, the light on the remote blinks when I press the button, but the remote does nothing at all. But the physical key works fine. But here is the catch, I dont know if the remote already have been programmed. Is there any danger in doing your trick? Please let me know!
BlaZo Benz no it shouldn’t mess anything up. If a key that’s already been programmed is programmed again it won’t hurt it. The remote lighting up lets you know that the battery is probably good. It probably just came un-programmed.
this is really good for me. i changed over my key blade, transponder chip and the circuit board into a new housing and the remote locking hasnt worked since. im hoping this will fix it
Hope so. It should if its a new fob
Yo, i have to ask you! That fob key you got there, Is that a brand new, or is it bought from like the scrap yard. Cuz i have read some comments that's says you can't program an already programed fob key? Is this true or can you do it?
Yeah you can. Mine was used from eBay.
@@Phatphatyo Alright, thank you sir for the answer! :)
@@Beckeen_ you bet. Just check that big long fcc number on the remote if you buy used. There are a lot of them that look similar and I’ve heard that some don’t work. Mine did but it was the same number. It likely came from another gti or Jetta of the same year range.
@@Phatphatyo I'll go the scrap yard, they had 2 keys. 1 for "polo" but this was from 2008, and one from passat from 2004, and my car is from 2003, so i bet the passat fob will work. i hope! I can't see the FCC number on the fob key, cuz its so exhausted,
@@Beckeen_ it should be under the battery backing. Open that cover up and see if it’s behind it. Some keys have the number behind the key blade too on the flip out keys.
FANTASTIC! Thank you for posting this! I have a MK1 TT same as MK4 GTI and I have one key with broken fob and want to add a second fob. This programming would be exactly what I will be doing. I will let you know if it worked on the TT>
Yeah let me know. I’ve seen a lot of posts now from everybody with different rigs but I haven’t seen anyone say it worked on a TT. I bet it would though. A lot of Audi people say that it worked. Obviously mostly A and S series of course but never heard about a TT. Let us know.
Also thanks for the sub. You’re awesome.
I have vw polo plate 56 1.2 S 64 3dr and I have only 1 key which is the simple key dosent have any buttons and is it works to my car.
thanks
how did u do it won’t work for me
One more question! If i buy two keys with fobs, I use one to turn the lock and unlock on my car and my main key to switch the car to on. Will my 3rd key that i'm activating work and turn on the car?
★ Ally_Woo | CSGO & More no it doesn't program the chip (immobilizer) it only does the fob portion to lock and unlock
★ Ally_Woo | CSGO & More no it doesn't program the chip (immobilizer) it only does the fob portion to lock and unlock
Does this work on a 2012 Jetta...? Seems like at a certain year the process changes.. but I'm gonna give this a try. Thnx
Not sure on 2012. Report back and let me know for those mk6 people.
my key has the old blue and white logo but the new key design, Id say the new key design is easier I didn't even need a screwdriver.
thanks for the video
Yeah the new ones you just do sitting in the car I think don't ya?
Hey man could i do this on my 1.4L 2000 mk4? It has central locking etc but not remote locking, just normal keys.
Is there any way to add remote locking to it? Thanks.
I’m not sure. You’d have to try it. I would think that a 2000 was capable and someone at some point had lost the fob to do it but I’m only guessing. I have no idea if it would work. Sorry. I wonder if your dealer could look it up by vin and see if it is capable.
Tried this and it works! Thanks for the video very helpful!
Sam Bartonns glad it helped. Makes it worth doing the video ya know? If you want to subscribe I have some more tips and tricks I need to get posted. No hard feelings if you don’t but it helps me out if you do want some.
Does this work for 98 Golf MK4?
FASHIONBYANU I think the 98 would be a mark 3. I don’t know if it does for sure or not. I’ve heard it does but I haven’t tried it personally. Try it and let us know so that others know too.
Less than 5 minute job if you have T20. Thanks for this video
Jake Hamilton awesome. Glad it helped. And good for you for having the tool and not having to rig it like me. Ha
Hi, I only have one key, but without Remote Control, just like you do. I have Centralized Locking. (I open a door and it opens all of them)
I would like to add a Remote Control. How do I do this? Do I have to change any module inside the car or I have just to buy a Remote Control and add it?
Yeah just buy one and program it like the video shows. As long as the car was equipped to have a remote originally this will program it. You don’t need a working remote to do this programming. You just need one working key and the remote you’d like to program.
@@Phatphatyo I don't know if my car was originally equipped with a remote control. :)
@@Buciasda33 that’s hard to say. Maybe a dealer could tell you. Or your manual.
works for 2002 ibiza 6l, doesn't honk and you need to press open and than close button on new remote to program the keys.
I have golf mk 4 and i have remote from other car renault megane, will the same remote from other car work on golf mk4 ?
Psycho Rider if it’s the same style it would. In the video the fob is from a Jetta but I used it in a golf. I don’t know about the Renault. I don’t know a lot about them. They’re not a vw product are they?
@@Phatphatyo no they are not, so it must be a vw product remote to work ? if yes, where i can buy it ? and one more question, will it work if i do this in a passenger seat doors ?
Psycho Rider I would imagine so, yes. Under rare circumstance maybe an Audi fob or something would work but even then I doubt it. It’s got to emit the right frequencies. I got mine from an old car but you can buy them from people used or get one online or from a dealer. I got one for my mk6 gti on eBay.
My keyfob , the key itself works , immobiliser etc , but the actual remote portion doesnt? Ive tried so many ways of syncing it but i just cant get it to work, i only have the 1 key , any tips?
This should be for you then unless your fob doesn’t work. If it itself is broken of course this won’t help but this process should work to program the fob as long as you have one key
Hey I have the exact car, 2002 same interior and everything, but mine won’t work for some reason, I have realized that my clutch interlock doesn’t work so I only have accessory and start and I can start the car with my foot off the clutch do you think that’s why?
You should still have the “on” key stop in your ignition. When the key goes in it’s “off”. One click is accessory, the next is “on”, and the next is start. There should be 4 positions. You want the third.
As for starting without the clutch, I’m actually a little jealous of that. That’s cool. But I don’t think it should affect programming a fob, but I don’t know for sure. I just wouldn’t think it would stop it from doing it.
@@Phatphatyo yeah it’s weird I only have really two turns. The first turn is from initially when I put my key in which turns on all the power in the car, the next is starting the car. Which doesn’t make any sense because we literally have the exact same car same year same everything
@@misfit144 weird. Yeah newer cars are that way but back then it wasn’t the case.
Would this work if i only have the "valet" key. Bought the car used only came with valet key no fob
Andrew Cruz yeah it would. As long as you have a chipped key. Your valet key would have the chip in it. Then you can program a fob. That’s all I had to start with was the valet shown.
So, i have the right key but fob doesnt work, will this make it work? Like unlock and lock will work after that? I already changed the battery
Yeah it will. It programs the fob for lock/unlock/trunk/panic
I tried just using the other key in the keyhole and it doesn’t work, is really necessary use screw driver? I have two keys, i want to program a third one. Left one in the ignition and the other in the door
No it’s not necessary. The manual says to use a key. The point of the video was to show that you can use a screwdriver if you don’t have a second key. If it helps, what the screwdriver was doing was turning the actual piece that the key would have turned it it was the right key. Think of it like if a door was missing the knob, you can turn the guts of it with a screwdriver. That’s what I’m doing here essentially
My car doesn't honk, but new key paired perfectly!
Sweet action! Glad it worked!
Thank you for posting this useful info ...nicely presented!
Thanks. Glad it helped.
Do all vw golf mk 4 have immobiliser mine does not seem to work even though I have more than 2 keys
All I did was change the battery so do I do this the same way you’ve shown because I only have the one key fob and that’s it and all I did was change the battery please help me
Charles Corbin changing a battery usually doesn’t un-program it but I’ve heard of it happening. This should fix it though, yes, because it programs it again.
would this work with VW Polo 9n3 2008 UK? polo never came with remote keys intially, and my key looks like the one he put in the ignition in the video. any help would be appreciated thanks
I’m not sure. If it never had one it would be hard to tell if it had the capability or not.
@@Phatphatyo hi dont worry, i got this working, i had to change over my comfort control module for one with remote locking capabilities in the car and take out the immobilizer chip from my spare key and put it in the new remote key and then cut the key and it is all working now :D

thx bro ❤️❤️
When I tried to take the locking mechanism part out, only the plastic covering came off but not the actual key hole part. Any way to remove it?
@@9IP808 yeah. That screw that I show in the video. The plastic is just a cover. The screw holds the mechanism in.
@@Phatphatyo I took the screw out, the part I’m talking about is the actual part that the key goes into that unlocks and locks the door.
@@Phatphatyo nvm found out how to do it, thanks 🙏
@@9IP808 oh sorry I’m late to the party. I’m glad you got it figured out.
@@9IP808 glad you got it
That’s a fantastic tutorial buddy. But will it work if I have,.. 1x key cut to the car but isn’t a fob key. ,..1x fob key that isn’t cut to the cars lock set but is a full function fob key. I hope you can reply matey. Still a great tutorial. Blessings. 👍
Reasoning to oblivion yeah it should as long as you have one key that works in the ignition. That’s what I had. I had one key that wasn’t a fob and a fob that wasn’t the right key and the fob programmed. Best of luck.
Is there a way to reprogram my second key to be recognised by immobilizer? Key was working fine but i tried to take radio out by bit of force and the key stopped working. I have other key that only locks car manualy. And the button on starting key doesnt work.
That’s weird. Unfortunately the immobilizer can’t be programmed without a vagcom or having the dealer do it. Only the fob can be programmed by the car, not the chip. I can’t imagine what anything with the radio could have done to the key. You can pull battery cables and let the car sit for a month and it ought to recognize the key. I’m stumped on that one. I don’t have an answer for it. Sorry.
@@Phatphatyo then maybe it wasnt radio? Maybe just a coincidence and some conections got lose or smth. And i dont knoe if this have to do w anything but at the same time i cant turn off my blinker😂
@@lauris4887 haha wow. That’s got to be something else. I’m no mechanic though. I wouldn’t think they’re related.
Random thought- the 2002 in the video locked me out once. I totally forgot. I had the battery off and then couldn’t start it and thought it was a chip thing and it turned out to be APR tuned. APR usually has a passcode to unlock it if it ever loses power. If you don’t set a code (most don’t) it’s 1234 but each style of cruise control is different. That’s how you enter the code. There are so many tuned gtis out there and APR does most of them. Give that a shot?? Look up how to enter APR password into mk4 or whatever you have and find the instructions for your style of cruise control arm and see if it’s got a lock on it. Worst case is you just sit and turn cruise on and off in your driveway.
would this work without removing the lock if you had two keys for the car but no working fob?
Yeah it would. That’s the normal process actually. This was just a one-off situation where I didn’t so the screwdriver was my “key”. That would work perfect.
Big props son! Well done thank you 🙏🏻
Glad it helped 🙂
How did you know which fccid works on your car?
Or which remote model works?
You’d have to either have one to look at, google it and hope it’s right, or ask a dealer I would think.
Worked great for my 2005 Golf TDI, I used a old vw key I had.
AWESOME!
Hi, I have tried this on my car & it did not work, the turn signals did not flash either, what would you suggest i do next? Kind Regards Derek.
I’ve heard a couple of people say that they turned the key several times before it worked. Not sure how that helps but I don’t have any other solutions. It works for so many years and so many different models. It’s weird that it wouldn’t work. Be sure the key is on. Not running but on. (Turn 2 clicks. Past acc to “on”)
@@Phatphatyo Hi, Thanks very much for getting back to me & for the advice, i will let you know what happens. Best wishes Derek.
@@Phatphatyo Hi again, I have tried with no luck, but would you know where the sensor is that operates the red led light which flashes when you lock the door? Kind Regards Derek.
@@derekfinch488 that light is the security light. It flashes when it is armed and stops when disarmed. It doesn’t flash simply based on lock status. It’s the cars security system that flashes it
@@Phatphatyo Hi, So if i get that to work properly hopefully the key fob will work? Kind Regards Derek.
I have a big question for you please help and answer offcourse :D
I have central locking for my Golf 4 '00 and i have that small key that you had before. But i think i dont have an remote control lock/unlock. But i have central, does this mean if i do the coding with a regular that i have to the new one( just like yours that flips the key) i will have the remote control lock/unlock sistem?
i found out, you cant do that if you didnt have it installed before. for me in croatia it will cost about 700kn(approx-102$ or 94€)
Its a 3 step procedure for me,probably everyone else if you folow this.
1. by an keyles entery(remotecontrol) from ebay,aliexpress.( 150kn, 21$,20€) ( it will have 2 keys,those new ones with flip keys.)
2. give the module to someone to install it(possibly to someon who knows how to do that(how much money he will take for the install it depends, for me its 200kn(30$,27€)))
3. take the keys that you just installed to the key master and he will ingrave the markings for the key(steel part) to fit in the lock( how you turn the car) and also he will need to code the original key with this new one so you can turn on the car.(350kn,(51$,47€)
hope it helps :D
i think you have to have some box in the engine bay, probably which is the module for the keyless entery.but it is the best for you to go to the specialist he will tell you everything yo need to know
i dont know really
to the guy that owns the shop that does this kind of stuff, just ask around town, ask your friends do they know somebody that does thiss kind of stuff
nikolapeky you can't just have Central. You have to also have a car with the ability to have wireless key fob capability. A good rule of thumb is if the car came with it but someone lost it down the line, you should be good but if it didn't originally come with it you're not able to program it.
Do u know if this procedure works also for Seat Ibiza (6L)...?
I’m not sure. Unless someone else comments. It has surprisingly worked on many other years and models but I don’t know if it does or not. If you find the manual you can check the procedure to see if it requires a key in the ignition and a key in the door. If it does then this will work. If it is different then it won’t work. Sorry I’m not more helpful than that.
