Hi All,
Almost apologetic asking but I'm really confused about purchasing a spare key fob and key for my '52 Passat. Seems to be a lot of advice on here but some of it contradictory.
Can I buy a 2nd hand fob with the same part number and mhz as my current key off ebay, buy a blank blade, get that cut as per mine, marry it up to my car for unlocking etc and then take it to someone with the necessary software to sort out the immobiliser?
The bit I'm concerned about is the comments relating to the fob having to be brand new for it to be reprogrammed to my immobiliser. Can a used one do this? Don't want to go through the effort of getting the stuff off ebay if it'll never start my car.:confused:
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Cheers and all the best for 2009,
Jay
