Ok, just got back from my mechanic, the old owner had removed one metal piece from the door lock mechanism so the key wouldn't work (they remove it so it would be harder to get in the car)
And the other fob they will program through computer somehow (as i understood they will clone the old fob)
Thanks a lot for your help! 🙂
Hi people I have recently bought a new key off eBay it has all the exact same codes as my original key I got with car my car is a s3 8p 09 and I'm wondering if anyone else has done this and managed to program the key to the car to open / lock car and start car or even get ignition on I've read a thread on Audizine that says u can do it just Askin to see if anyone else has the new key has transponder and all that in key and is 433mhz same as my original any ideas thanks craig
Thank you :) So is the coding something that has to be done by a professional as I've read some articles that list a programming sequence via the car?? Or is it just certain companies that reprogram?
