Programing imobilizer in key
-Yes I have done a search in the forums-
I'm trying to figure out how to program the immobilizer chip in my key for my '02 A4 I have tried leaving a key turned in the ignition and then locking the car from outside with the new key but so far that has not worked Is there another method? Or what may I be doing wrong? The dealership has told me that programing the imobilizer is $30 I'd perfer to do it myself Thanks for the help. |

You may have to clear the memory first. Remote transmitter coding procedure - Switch ignition on (using separate key). - Lock vehicle from outside using key to be coded via driver-side door lock. - Press "unlock" button within 5 seconds often enough to reach next memory position (in example given, twice). Every time you hit the button it goes to a different memory position. So if you hit it twice for the first key and the second key, the first key will no longer work. - Every press of the button is confirmed by the emergency flashers and the anti-theft system horn. - Wait 5 seconds. - Now press "unlock" button one more time (vehicle unlocks). - Switch ignition off and remove ignition key. - Check function of new transmitter. Notes: Be sure that new transmitters are always coded into free memory positions. If occupied positions (distinguishable by a "1") are used, the transmitter previously coded to this position will no longer work. Existing remote transmitter recoding procedure - Press any button on transmitter. If vehicle does not respond by locking or unlocking: - Lock and unlock vehicle within 30 seconds using driver-side lock. - Now check function of recoded remote transmitter. Clearing memory positions Notes: It is possible to clear all memory positions, e.g. if a customer loses a remote transmitter. Proceed as follows: - Switch ignition on using key. - Then mechanically lock central locking from outside vehicle using key. - Activate remote transmitter "unlock" button on key five times at one second intervals. A short horn signal will sound each time. - Then, after 6 seconds, press remote transmitter "unlock" button to confirm this clearing procedure one more time. - Central locking should no longer unlock itself via remote transmitter. - Switch ignition off. Up to four transmitters can now be coded again. |

Thanks for the fast reply-
I think it must be an issue with the remote cuz i'm not getting and feedback from the buttons i will have to check the batteries Hey has anyone on the forum thought to make a FAQ section where neebies like me can easily find answers to these types of questions? I know that lots of questions are asked about things like Keys and Chip-ing They are asked so much that a search through the forums can take hours and still not find all the posts just an idea... thanks again |
