Post by: Yetisimon on July 25, 2012, 04:48:20 pm: Hi

The only reason I can see they would be having a problem is if the steering controller is not suitable or if they've done something wrong.

What car is it?

Either the dealer has done something wrong or I bet your controller has 638 0070 HW SW

Maybe you should have used someone on here instead of using the dealers.

Wouldnt let me into 'coding' section so had to do it via long coding.

all worked fine though.

if the coding is long, then the activation is in there otherwise it is in the coding II

Wow. only?? 1 hour in my VW Dealer - 120 quid - thats cheap. I dont' know hows in Kent maybe cheaper. And 1 hour just for codding is a rip off.
