I was riding with my wife and my fob fell out a hole in my pocket didn't realize it happened! When sh backed up she ran over it and smashed the whole thing! I couldn't believe it..I had an extra one I order off line but I was a empty shell. I didn't realize there was a transponder I'm new to vw but I had a crash course. I'm not a tec person but I'm a quick learner. I just need some help from someone who knows what they are doing
I hope you didn't throw the bits out. All you need is the small pill type thing. You can tape it to near the key ring to get it going. And you can also swap that to other Fobs that is the other part of the equation. Usually they have a eeprom immobilizer chip (8pin soic chip) in the cluster and in the ecu. The ecu is the one that hunts for the cluster and then the key's pill shaped RF piece. So just pick the bits up put the key in your new fob and the pill in the spot and wallah your good to go.
