hi all,

 

I now only have one working keyfob for my vehicle as one has completely failed and does not function, no red led, It's not a dead battery, that's all confirmed. The key will still unlock the vehicle manually and start it. Skoda told me its £200 upwards, talk about the cost of car parts.

 

I've found plenty of used fobs for my vehicle often from scrapped cars. On my key there's a retaining pin to allow you to transfer the key blade to a new fob and the owners manual tells you how to sync the remote locking. The issue is the immobiliser chip, how to get the replacement key programmed to the car, does it require specialist equipment or can the chip be removed from the dead fob and also transferred, if the chip is built in, can the previous chipped key be deleted from the vehicle as it's no longer needed?

Hello Wilson, the easiest (and by far the cheapest) way is to transfer the immobiliser chip from your old key to the replacement - if you do a search on here you should be able to find how its done.
