Also to those late MKIVers, do the headlights/interior lights turn on when you open the car?
mines a 99 model and my interior lights turn on when the car is opened, and fade out when you shut the door again, i assume this was a standard feature on all MK4's
havent heard of the headlights coming on as well, although a feature such as this would be somewhat cool

Yeah I have the interior lights turn on when I unlock and/or open the car door. They fade out after a longish period of time of if you start the car or lock the car (from the outside). Headlights are controlled by the switch on the dash only. That is there is no fade on or off the lights. I don't think there were any revisions after my car as the MkV came out about 6 months later.

lights do work with it,( interior only ) also the immobiliser runs from it 1 push locks 2 pushes and the car wernt start

i thought they all came with these featuers
My car works the other way around. One click is the full immobiliser with dead bolting the doors where pulling on the interior door handle will not open the door. Whereas two clicks and you can.
A colleague's partner's beetle's remote locking works the same way too.
Thanks Mark. They don't mention anything other than the key FOB itself. I think us older MKIV guys need to install something too
Just to clarify, my interior light comes on when I unlock the doors - I was just curious if any MKIVs had the driving lights and dash lights come on when you press the remote unlock button. It's a feature on a few cars I know of...
I was more wonderng about the imobiliser chip. There is one in the existing key, does that same chip fit into the other or is there some additional programming required.

when i was looking for a replacement key for my car i was told that the only place that can do it is VW, so in Adelaides case, solitaire auto...
went to some specialist locksmiths and they said that they cant do any of the new keys for VW as te chip that you mentioned also needs to be programmed in addition to the key being cut.
when i called the VW dealer (solitaire) they quoted the minimum workshop charge of $80 to program the key, i assume that this would just involve VAGCOM to program the chip, although i may be wrong...
someone else may need to confirm this...
