Keyfob 1998 a3 TDI
Discussion
I have just bought a 1998 a3 TDI as my daily runabout. Only problem is the car came with only one key and it doesnt remotely operate the door locks. The immobiliser chip is obviously working as it starts the car, but with the condition of the fob I would assume the other internals are done. Currently opening the car old school with the key in the door lock!
My question is what does the main key fob look like on a early a3 to start with? The one I have only has a single button push in the centre rather than a two or three button. I have the feeling it may be the spare rather than the main key.
If I can find a main key which there seem to be plenty of on ebay there is enough info on the net as to how to programme the new fob to open the doors, but not sure if the transponder chip from my key can be changed over to the new fob?
Ideally two keys would be great but dont really want to spend the money on getting a brand new key and coding at the dealer(especially after a £650 bill for getting the alarm control unit replaced and two new keys for my porsche last year!!) Will try and add pictures of my key so you can see what it looks like
