Erasing Key Memory.

Featured Replies

One of my 2 keys when used to unlock the car, sets the seat, mirror, mfd. and that’s not what i want.

 

is there any way the memory can be erased ?

Probably something that can be done using VCDS? I've used VCDS to assign different fobs to my 2012 Superb. Though I've not tried to see what functions I can active on the fobs.

 

If I've understood correctly, #Derbyshirebod, you don't want seat settings etc "changed" when using the key in question. You might find it easier to simply program it to match the other key. That way, there won't be any changes to notice.

 

I'd be interested to hear if this achieves what you want.

AmitShindore was asking the question.

 

Using VCDS you don't "match" or  just add a new fob as and when you want. The fobs have to be erased from memory so that you can reassign all the fobs you have at the same time, IIRC you can have up to 4 fobs assigned. I have assigned 3 fobs to my Superb.

 

Earlier in the year my son bought a 2002 MK4 VW Golf with only one working Key & Fob. Using VCDS I assigned 2 fobs and also cloned the key transponder chip but you need to know the transponder PIN to do that. The original fob wasn't activating the indicator lights when locking or unlocking the car. Using VCDS I set the indicators to activate as well as turning on the the audible chirp when I re-assigned the 2 fobs to the car.

 

You can't use VCDS to assign a new key transponder chip to VAG group cars after 2009. It's either get a locksmith clone an existing key transponder chip or a trip to the main dealers to have a new key transponder chip assigned.

My apologies - I should have addressed my comments to the OP. My role in life is to make things more complicated than necessary!
