Inserted the wrong key into ignition switch setting off the alarm and activating immobilizer. Tried the correct key, remote works but immobilizer remains activated. Keys checked with automotive locksmith who stated the keys are good and matched. The diesel engine starts and runs for less than an two seconds before shutting down. Left battery disconnected 30 minutes (that resolved previous remote lock/unlock function), reset batteries in both remotes but immobilizer activated. Any known solutions for this mess.

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,
