  • Multivan T5 2009 replacement remote key fob

    I've lost both remotes that came with the van (long story) but have two keys that unlock/start car.

    i saw somewhere on the interwebs that you can program a blank remote in some VWs using 2 keys:

    1. insert one key in the ignition and turn to on position
    2. insert second key in drivers door and turn to lock position
    3. listen for 3 horn beeps
    4. press remote button. listen for another horn beep that confirms programming


    Has anyone got this to work on a T5 multivan? I tried it but didn't get the 3 beeps. I don't have a blank remote either.

    I was quoted $600 in Sydney (not a dealer) to get two remote/key fobs programmed, coded and cut. Anyone know of a cheaper alternative?

    Thanks

    The $600 is not bad price and I think that you’ll at least need the scanner that is capable of programming/adapting new keys.

      I found a place in the UK that will sell me a remote for £40 but after researching key programmers machines ($1000 - $5000 !!), looks like i'll have to bite the bullet and pay. The good news is I found someone that will do 2 remotes for $450 so happy with that. Cheers
