i have just tried method on google which is get in car put new key in ignition turn it on press close button key fob turn off do it again and again still not working still dont know how to do it ive tried what manual says put key in lock now when i tried this with new key cut it did not turn either left or right but i lubricated the lock and can turn it to the right which unlocks it but have no joy in turning it to the right when i tried to take lock out to see what aes wrong with it but got screw half way out and screw jammed sold does it come out completely or not  i think some one has tried to fix it but could not  so please tell me another way not complicated to programme new key i bought new key fob from ebay and went to my local locksmith to programme the immobaliser chip which he did and that starts the car but i cant get the remote to open the doors 

I used VCDS to program 2nd hand remotes to my Superb. I'm too far away to it for you. I think there is a list of people of people on here who have it?

 

there

hi there I did not buy secondhand fob it was brand new had blade cut and locksmith programmed immobiliser chip so I can get invite key manually and start car but I don't seem to have any luck sync the key to lock and unlock I also have bought shell for  original key fob but do not want to take battery out which I would change but I do not want to lose sync on that until can programme second key so I don't have any key that won't remote open doors

So why didn't you get the lock smith to programe the fob when he cloned the transponder chip?  VCDS will assign a new or second hand fob to your car. It can also assign a new transponder chip if you know the PIN code.

i asked him that he said he did not know how to do it is there a simple method to do it yourself without all this faff

Yes use VCDS only takes a few minutes. Find someone local to you who is here o the forum and got VCDS (there is a list of people) and ask them to do it for you. Both fobs will need to be done at the same time. Or buy  VCDS though not going to be a cheap solution if that's the only reason you're buying it.

that video does not seem to apply to 3T chassis?

I only attached that link to show how it's done with VCDS. The procedure is pretty much the same for all the VAG group cars. I've used it to program fobs for my Superb my old Toledo and sons Ibiza.

 

The area you need to access through VCDS to program fobs does vary from car to car and it's either "46- Cent. Conv" or  "35 -Cent.Locking"

 

You can also use VCDS to program the key transponder chip if you know the key PIN. VCDS will not read the PIN.

why does this problem i have have to be tech based i tried the skoda manual  solution but i cant turn lock in door to left to complete action or there is tuition in youtube by putting in ignition turning on press button on remote repeat three times should be done but i could not get it to work skoda is based on vw there does seem to be a problem with that range so why cant someone supply solution without getting a laptop out or buying expensive software that im never going to use again i am 69 years old an electrical engineer retired and so far ive done stuff on cars that people said you cant do it that way unless you buy tools but i have point in question i have just bought a beautiful 2012 skoda superb elegance 4x4 diesel which was stored for five years and only done 18000 miles so i was pleased to find it  there was a few things to do it was delivered from  scotland bought it from a garage over internet when it was delivered looked fine apart from left head light xenon was not working but to be fair the garage they gave me some  money back to fix this i soon found out i new it was a category n which i already knew wing and bumper damaged  repaired very well so found out the headlight damaged plastic so repaired found ballast unit 35 pound fitted fixed then drivers door mirror would not fold tuned out mirror must have been damaged on investigation found someone fitted non folding mirror so bought second hand one ebay 50 pounds fitted with original colour coded shell fixed  then there was alarm did not work original was damaged pcb inside also batterys inside alarm only have life about six years so you either have to replace onboard batterys but i could find them so bought secondhand one from scrapyard  20 pounds fitted did not work then found fuse belong to towbar system blown fuse replaced success and now with such a low mileage car its fantastic with no faults ps.i just checked the brakes and the calipers and did not realise when i got my wife to press brakes that to retract pistons i could not do only to check on youtube there is a tool  where you place it on the piston apply pressure to piston  while turning piston clockwise well i did not have this tool but within 10 minutes i had rigged something to do job and reassembled caliper so you see im resourceful and i like to solve problems but needless to say i cant get an extra key to open the doors crazy really sorry for monologue just thought i would give history of my experience

It's not possible to pair a new remote fob without using some kind of diagnostic equipment including VCDS. Any guide that claims otherwise, is for a different, older vehicle - I'm afraid you're wasting your time by following them.

 

Your car is basically a bunch of computers all linked together so it's not surprising you need a computer to make changes. It's designed to make the dealers life easier, not the drivers 

 

I'm around Cambridge most weeks so I should be able to take a look. Drop me a PM and I'll see when we're both free, it should only be a 10-15 minute job to do an autoscan and pair the fobs.

Not on a 2012 Superb.

 

VAG changed the immobiliser so it needs a PIN and SKC to complete the pairing. Dealers and other authorised ODIS/Fazit users can request a SKC but it's never actually shown to the technician so can't be shared. There are other 3rd party tools can perform immobiliser pairing - but not VCDS in this instance.

I understand the OP's frustration but it's a security device so would you want it to be easy to overcome?

On pre 2009 cars I've used VCDS to assign a new key knowing the transponder PIN. But as you say on later cars it's a trip to the main dealers or you get the transponder cloned.

As a matter of interest what did the locksmith charge for programming / cloning the transponder chip?

Edited 13 April, 20224 yr by Derbyshirebod

He charged 57 pounds Inc vat for programming new immob chip and cutting new  blade and key was 15 pounds from ebay

That's not a bad price a Local locksmith wanted £80 just to clone the transponder chip for my Superb and Timpsons wanted £175 to supply a new key fob.

On my daughter's Fabia from 2009 I had to put the new key into the driver door lock and turn and lock/hold and the n press and hold the lock or unlock button. Programming was not possible, so the locksmith cloned the old immobilizer.

The chip is a ID48 I think.

You managed to program the fob to the car with the method you describe above?

 

Programming the fob to to open & lock the car and programming  immobiliser/cloning the key transducer chip are 2 separate things.
