SHARKY 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi Guys...Whilst searching for solutions to me clocks problem - which I may have sorted... Watch this space - I came across people who have a flick key for their VR's. Has anyone on here got one working for a VR Golf. If so, how???I'm not concerned about the alarm buttons, just making the key / transponder work. I have two blades for AH type keys waiting to be cut, just trying to get my hands on a MK4 fob. My idea was to open the fob key and remove the transponder from it. Then having a locksmith copy my transponder onto one of theirs and putting that in the flick key.What do you reckon guys... In theory it'll work. If a locksmith can cut non-VW keys and code a transponder chip to work in the car, then in theory, instead of using their key, you use the mk4 fob.I've got two VW OE keys cut ready to be programmed, but I'm being told that ONLY VW can code VW keys???Been wondering this for ages, so I thought I'd ask you brainy guys..

dellert 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Depends on the age of the vehicle. Older transponders have a static code, which anyone can do for about £20. Newer ones have a dynamic code, that changes everytime you use it, which only VW can do. Link to post Share on other sites
SHARKY 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Mines a 1995/6 (n) OBD2 engine. So does anyone know if I can have the keys coded by a locksmith or is it a stealer job?Also, could a locksmith code a transponder by copying mine in my key?? I believe thats how they code them - by reading the original and copying to a new chip?As always, comments/ advice always welcome... Link to post Share on other sites
dellert 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yes it is how they do it. I dunno mate, take it to a key cutting place they will be able to tell you if they can do it. Mine was 95 N and it was fine, but mine was ODB1. Link to post Share on other sites
