Thanks captain obvious :) 

To my shame I had not considered just using the key until reading this.  Think I was just in a bit of a panic with the Hol tomorrow (or maybe the thought of 100mile journey in a fiat 500).  Panic now over.

Spare key not working either, tbh not sure if it ever has though as I have never used it the entire time i've had the car.

Battery swapped over at local VW place, light blinking away when pressed, made no difference.  Light was blinking before battery swapped as well.


Taking spare into garage tomorrow for them to check the battery on it.  i'll keep googling to see if anything pops up.

4th post from the above details the process for re-pairing the key. No idea if it actually works, but must be worth a go!

r5gtt:
Try putting your key in the Ignition and pressing the buttons whilst ignition on or hold key in door and turn either way to make windows auto drop and locking again then press remote to se if that helps.

ROH ECHT:
You need to reset the remote. Instructions should be in your manual.
Mine says:
1) Within range...Press Unlock on the remote control key.
2) Within one minute, use the key bit to manually unlock the driver's door.
3) Switch the ignition to "ON".

It also says "TIP", "if the unlock button is pressed many times outside its effective range...it will no longer unlock the vehicle".  Chances are your pocket was playing with it too much.


If following the reset instructions don't work...you may need to have the dealership reprogram it.

ROH ECHT:
Did this work...what I posted? Would like to know what solved this for future reference  :happy2:
