The other day, randomly as I dropped the little lad at nursery, my remote locking stopped working, thought it was the remote battery, changed it and still nothing.

With vagcom you can recode keys, turns out the ecu could see my spare remote, but not the one I use day to day, both still start the car.

So ordered a used remote off the bay, 22.50 haha same frequency. Tried to code it to the car and worked immediately. Result.

Then today I Tried to do my door puddle and warning lights at dinner, started on the drivers door,

I was a little wary as I don't know how to do the footwell lights as the module seems to be missing the plug.

So I made my own harness and tapped into the plug, earth pin and the the feed.
