Hi guys, I hope you don’t mind me asking for help. I did a foolish thing today.
My key fob wouldn’t operate the central locking so I changed the battery. It still didn’t work, so I took the battery out of the other fob to try that one. I didn’t realise they had to be re-synced, so now, yes you’ve guessed it, I’ve now got 2 keys that need re-syncing.
I just wondered if it is still possible to rectify my stupid mistake. I have tried putting one key in ignition in the on position then pressing the lock button on the other key then locking the door manually. If I press any button it will make the indicators flash once. It does this for the next 4 presses, then nothing after.
I’ve tried the same procedure with no key in the ignition but I get nothing at all.
Could anyone help please.
Díky.

Sure, but your sequence is a little off:
1. One key in ignition in on position, but engine stopped.
2. Other key in the drivers door lock from outside and lock with key manually.
3. Then, with key still in lock and within a few seconds, press UNLOCK button ONCE on that key. Indicators will flash.
4. Remove key from door lock, wait 10 seconds and test. That key should be re-synced with car.
Repeat with keys reversed to program second key, but at step 4 press UNLOCK button TWICE (to code key to second memory position).
Repeat for up to 4 keys with appropriate button presses for each memory position.

Hi, Always works for me.
resync the C/L
Stiskněte zamknout nebo odemknout na přívěsku a do 1 minuty zamkněte nebo odemkněte klíčem ve dveřích, opakujte více než jednou.
If that fails press lock or unlock twice, before using key in door as it may be key No.2
Divoké prasátko.

well just to update you, i now have 2 working key fobs . i did it the way you suggested PCBBC. it all happened as you said, but when i tried the fobs after 10 seconds, they clicked as though they were unlocking the car, i thought great, but then nothing happened after that. so i went back into my home, had a coffee, then i was going to retry the procedure. i got outside and pressed the fob without thinking and voila, it was working. i tried the other fob, and it too was working .
so a big thank you to PCBBC and Hoggy. really appreciate it.

No problem! Great to be able to help.
Not quite sure why it didn’t work first time for you though?
Have become quite a key expert recently having made up a complete spare from parts on eBay. Coding the immobiliser was fun.

That sounds a bit technical, but interesting. I bet it saved you a bit of money though

No to doufám.
£8.95 Second hand key (for remote module)
£3.99 New key shell and blank blade
£7.50 2 blank transponder chips (only need one)
£10.00 Locksmith to cut new key
£16.95 ODB cable and CAN Commander (to recover SKC from ECU)
Celkem 47.39 XNUMX XNUMX GBP
Already had VCDS needed to program transponder. Certainly cheaper than the dealers I would imagine?
The point at which I ended up with two keys, neither of which could start the car, was a bit hairy!
Unfortunately I also purchased the wrong key to start with (1 battery version instead of 2), only to discover remote protocol was incompatible with my car. So have fully refurbished 4D0837231K blank key going spare. Should really get round to posting on eBay to recover some costs.

I am also having this issue after replacing the battery to the FOB. PLEASE HELP. I have a 2009 Audi TT.

A week ago I had a flat battery and car was jump started by breakdown people and went ok for 3 days. Battery then drained again and it became obvious I had an electrical fault as windows, lights and CD player were doing odd things. Managed to charge battery and get car to auto-electricians and it is sorted — it was a faulty brake light sensor which has now been replaced but. I can’t lock car remotely! Have changed remote battery and tried some of the things suggested on here to sync but still can’t lock the car. The button for locking that’s inside the car locks and unlocks car but the key won’t. I can’t even lock the door manually with the key — the barrel seems faulty as I can just turn it clockwise and anti clockwise a half turn each time. I’ve never used the manual lock before. It’s a 2005 1.8 Audi TT. Any suggestions? By the way, I only have one key. Thanks guys.

Hi HelW, Has it ever locked using the Fob ? If you can’t lock it with the key in door it’s more than a Fob problem.
Is it a roadster ?
Divoké prasátko.

Hi, Get an auto locksmith to check if Fob is actually sending a signal, otherwise maybe just wasting money on a new fob.

Yesterday my remote wouldn’t work, had to unlock manually. Once I got home it was normal. This is the second time this has happened.
Changed the battery, tried a resynch procedure, no joy. Walked indoors andcread the owners handbook. Walked outdoors with both keys, and both worked. WTF ??
I recall seeing something about a key signal receiver module in the boot area, maybe mine has a loose connection or something. Anybody know about this ??
If my key signal fails I just use the blade to open the door, the missus might not be so savvy so I don’t want her stuck and stressed.

Hi Puk, hope you find something on this because as seen in my thread both of my keys are dead too, the resync procedures don’t work and I can’t even so much as get the keys to make the indicators flash even once. The central locking button in the actual car between the seats doesn’t work by clicking it any more either, I need to hold one of the buttons down for it to work and unlock or lock the car! Very odd how this has happened to us at the same time and the resync procedures aren’t working. I’ve also changed batteries in both my keyfobs too.
It’s almost as if there’s two different levels off losing sync. Semi-loss where resync procedure will fix it and then full loss where the code on the chip in the key needs re-coding or something? Maybe you’re onto something with what you’re saying about a key signal receiver module in the boot. Hopefully someone sheds some light on that!
