Looking to purchase another 3 button key for 2011 model year Yeti....

I assume they are same for all variants of Yeti.

Lots of OEM one's available on E-bay but with slightly different part numbers for a good price.

Official version from dealer seems to be about £90 with I assume programming extra.

What is the correct part number and can they be Fully programmed as per original as DIY

job??.

I seem to recall you have to re-do the other two at the same time...Unless you know different.

Advice appreciated and part number if you know it???

Full price from Skoda dealer including programming is????

Unfortunately there is no way that the programming is DIY.

The cars use a rolling code that is supplied from Skoda and then only to a dealer.

There are plenty of the things on the likes of Fleabay - many promising that it's all DIY simplicity. This is just not the case and buying the hardware from these sources may be cheap but is not the solution.

I'd say that £90 from a dealer is quite good but they will need the car and probably charge extra to properly code the fob to the car.

First off you will need the SKC, then the remote and a new transponder and key blade, dealers normally charge around £160 for a replacement key/remote.

Yes you need all the keys together when you recode another key.

Had a look at the parts book and it gets a bit interesting as follows;

the key on it's own is given as - 1Z 837 246 C

The transmitter with 3 buttons on its own - 1K 959 753 N

However these appear only valid for vehicles built up to 01/11/2009

From then on it appears you order it as an assemble as follows;

3T 837 202

from 02/11/2009 to 09/01/20011

3T 837 202 C

from 10/01/2011 to date

However there's another option but without any dates or explanation as to how it relates to the above other than to say it has a modified transmission period :wonder:;

3T 837 202 D

Hope that's of some help,

TP

Is it worthwhile buying the key fob and getting it cut and programmed by dealer.

Would there be any worthwhile saving as a brand new SKODA 3 button fob, working with blank blade

appears to be going for £32-45 on E-bay or would dealer refuse to do the job if he didn't supply the part.

It appears the e-bay sourced programming instructions may only do part of the job (not the immoboliser??).

I have come across the instructions (free) by googling it but no idea if they will work.

Looking again e-bay part numbers are 1J0 959 753 with various 2 digit alphabetic suffix's or similar so

probably not the correct one for a Yeti.

......and you will bring up a warning light on the dash. I did this by mistake with my old Octavia when I tried starting it with our Roomster key

It's easy to get a dealer or someone with fault code reader to switch it off but I endured a 400 mile trip one weekend with the darn thing flashing at me. I haven't done it again... yet!
