VW Golf Mk5 2008 Key Fob proggramming/pairing with VAGCOM
« on: August 08, 2024, 03:56:07 pm »
Hi everyone,

Got my car a while ago (my first ever car so didn't really know what to check), came with 2 keys/fobs. My fobs never worked (I assume they are not the OG ones for the car but the frequency matches) , I can enter the car with the key but I have to turn ignition on and manually open other doors. Recently got a VAGCOM cable and following the instructions I cleared previous fobs and paired the new ones, during the adaptation process the hazard lights flash  when I press the buttons on the fobs so they send signal to the car but they still don't work. Anything else I can check?
I saw in other posts that a faulty fuse could cause it as well, which one that would be? I'm very new to this whole car troubleshooting world.  :smiley:

Thank you

VAGCOM is quite old now and may need to change to VCDS
