I have a VW Polo 2003 and the battery died on my remote key fob. It was working fine before, then all of a sudden I couldn't lock the car and the little red light on the fob wasn't working.
I replaced the battery in the remote and now the indicator light works on the fob but I can't unlock/lock the car with the remote any more.
I can still use it to manually unlock/lock and run the car. I think the fob has lost sync and needs to be re-synced to the car. I've tried the instructions in the manual about re-syncing the key, but that didn't work.
I've had a look here and as detailed in step 5, my key has lost sync after replacing battery: http://www.autokeysquad.com/replace-vw-volkswagen-key-fob-battery
To carry out the re-sync myself (guide: http://www.autokeysquad.com/volkswagen-car-key-fob-programming-guide) I need another key. Anyone know anywhere in west London area where I can buy and get another key cut? Is there a way to carry out the re-sync with just one key I have at the moment.
Thanks
