I bought a replacement key fop off eBay as my original VW was broken. So I swapped the blade and the chip over and now I have a brand new key fob. How ever my issue is overtime I try and start my car it says immobiliser active. Anyway I can fix this? As I have put the chip in the new fob so there is no reason why it should not work.

Thanks

I did this and found there was a small bulb like device around 3mm long and 1.5mm in diameter that also needed to be transferred from the old fob for it to function correctly, I removed mine from the old fob and stuck it in place with silicone sealant within the new fob and all was well.
