Yeah thanks matey, seen them, but I really want to get the fob working with the central locking so got one of the keys from Ebay as mentioned with the board inside it. Cheers though, good to know.

Thanks so much, I have managed to get some one to read the existing key and program the transponder with the car details, thanks so much, I'll go check ebay for one of them fobs as just been looking at them. This is the thing with the learning process nobody seems to know for the Fabia, I called the main dealer, the fist guy just said "it should work" and then I called the same dealer but in another part of the country and they were scratching there heads as well. I now have the lock mechanism fixed so it locks when turning the key anti-clock wise and also of course opening it, I have been trying a few suggestions but not the one that you just mentioned.. And also the nice man that came out and opened my car with my key then tried a few things....alas had to lock by manually pressing the buttons down and then closing the door! We did notice that when keeping it in the lock position that both passenger and driver side windows went down, he claimed that the car was wired up wrong....anyway, he charged me £20.00 for the fun of it even though when I called him he said he'd drop by and have a look for free as he was passing through. So then for ripping me off he then drove away and left me with his 4K key programming machine, I'm not a **** so even though he done that I called him and he said WOW thanks so much can I collect tomorrow, I said yeah, got drunk and then said on face****, I think you should do me a key since I was honest and returned your key reader, he agreed, came and picked up the machine and was about to do one when I said "whoa, I thought you was doing me a key" and he jumps out, reads the transponder, programs a new one and then claims he'll be back tomorrow to cut me the key.....that was like 4 days ago, So if you ever contact "Duncan" from Wallsend to fix your car keys, think again!

Hello, I've ended up here looking for info on a key fob for a Skoda Fabia, MK1, 08 May 2002, so this cracks me up, Before I bought the car the most important thing was "does it lock" yes it does with the key, but not the remote, and also on condition of the sale the windows didn't work, So drops it into a garage for the windows to be fixed and gets the car home and it won't lock using the key, The garage claims "haven't got a clue mate and drop it back of next week some time! (Scum bag) So take it to a new garage and they take the lock apart and say it's the little cast alloy thing that sites behind the lock, but in the mean time they said that they soldered the chip back on the board and they have the key fob working. GREAT! So I could use the remote to open and close the car, how ever today, there must have been a dry joint on the key fob remote as no lights working, so I re-soldered the chip and checked and it lights up. So I guy comes out today to help me and tries the key in the door! BOOM opened, I'm like "wtf" How can that be when the lock mechanism is missing? How ever we can't lock it, I've tried the couple of suggestions, the one where you turn on the ignition and the one, the guy that was out today tested that the key was transmitting a frequency which it is, So, question, how did the 2nd garage that soldered the chip get the key to pair? I can't seem to do it? Thanks again .
