programming a new key

[mdm]

my s2 only has got one key, so before i go and lose it, how do you get the immobiliser to work with the new key.

There is a sequence you can do this with on VAG-COM... Its a protected routine on the immobiliser to adapt the new keys. The stealers shouldn't need to charge too much for this on their diag machines - takes but a few minutes.

Your info says the car is MY94, but the immo cars with key transponders are MY95 (unless some sneaked out late in MY95 - would need to hit the books).

wouldnt take to long if the old, key code is saved, if not. we the dealers, have to go online to germany, and that takes about, 15min if all goes well

she is december 94, the immobiliser light comes on and then goes out again once she has been started.

so i belive she as an immobiliser

DO you have the keycode though ??????

[mdm]

if you mean the key as in the one that is used to start and drive then yes i have, (sorry if i wasn't clear at the start)

[mdm]

i would like to get spare key so i can use it in the event of me lossing the original

fanilly got vag com working, and the car does indeed have a immobiliser. i was reading what ross tech have to say on the subject and they say you need either a 4 or 7 digit pin. were do i get this?

There is a contraption similar to vagcom called vagtacho that can read the pin codes,keep meaning to buy one myself.Don't think it is all that expensive.


this is it although i have seen it much cheaper elsewhere.
