Refurbing a Remote Key ?
« on: March 02, 2013, 01:45:33 pm »
Is it possible , have done it with a Mercedes Key buy never a VW

Seen this on ebay and they appear to have sold lots , but can you change over all the electrical/key blade from the old one to this one ?

Yep everything is interchangeable, however they are poor quality.

I made up a full remote spare from scratch and have this, only happy with it as it sits in a box for emergencies.

You'll need a tiny punch device to knock the pin out that holds in the keyblade.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Think they are the same as any other key, but its from my ED30 that met a bitter end at only 8 months old. where are we posting it to? I'll get a price for that and we can go from there  :happy2:
