Initialising new key
Discussion
Hi,
My MkI's spare key circuit board went up the creek with no paddle yesterday. The input button which takes the button depressing data just upped and flipped off the board. I still have the button, but I understand that you can't get it resoldered back on.
So, I've ordered a new key. I still have the keycode number on the little red tag, so it's ready to be initialised.
So, the question is, how do you initialise a new key? My dealer reckons you press both keys at the same time - ala Superman III. The dealer reckons you have to activate the immobiliser 12 times with the original key before using the new key. (Or is that activate it 6 times, and deactivate it 6 times...)
Anyway, I was hoping one of you guys might have been there done that, and be prepared to clue me in.
Cheers.

It's a Meta Alarm. I'm not sure which one. Here are programming instructions for various meta alarm keys:
