Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Four Keys; Two Cars

    Hi, all!

    As the title suggests - I have four keys; and two cars.
    Three flip-FOBs
    One "Mk4 key"

    Is it possible to program all four keys; and two cars; to run the same coding for lock/unlock?
    Yes, I'm aware the key barrells will be different - what I'm trying to acheive is not having to walk downstairs with two keys if I need to open both cars. Press button once; both cars unlock.

    Help!

    youre crazy!

    the answer is that it depends. Have a read on the VCDS information pages with repect ot mk6 golf - that would be a good start i'd say.

      I think you should just close this thread and put it down as a silly question asked. Why don't you just put a little mark on the keys for one car, or use colour tags? I think you are asking for big trouble.

        no you cant, because the codes shift and the two cars/key sets will shift with a different algorithm

          ^^^^ I suspect the answer is "perhaps" - but it will depend on the immo version in the 4 x cars! If you own a VCDS cable and if your vehicles have UDS protocol instrument module, you should be able to get to the screen-shot below via advanced measurement



          The identifier of the key in the ignition will be given by entry Transponder ID current Key-Key Transponder ID and the identity of the two programmed keys will be given by the 1-Key and 2-Key entries (last two rows in the table). If you are using a "correct" key - then the current Key entry should be the same as either 1-Key, or 2-Key.

          Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the wider expertise of other forum members! Thank you.
