It will start the car, as it has the immobilser transponder chip inside - just like its big brother normal key

While we're on the subject of keys, this has probably been asked before but I'll ask again.

Are we able to have Flip key like the newer Audi's and some of the Golf's?

Is it something that we can get from VW?

MM - yes it is possible in theory.. as they both use the 433.92mhz freq. to transmit to the car, so you would need the flip key programmed to car also once its been cut

Is that something VW could sort out for me, if I flashed the cash?

i'd love a flip key - but didnt think it was possible, i thought you had to break a flip key and put bits from yours in and stuff, if thats not the case - i want one!!

Thats the guide I actualy saw it was in pdf format I cant find it now. It involves breaking a flip key and replacing the bits from your key to it.

Not that I'll need it, but would be nice to have.

the original stereo should re-code itself from the ecu

Yep that guide shows you how to DIY one, but if you want a brand new non-butchered one, then can order key from VW I recon.

(DIY involves breaking up your normal key, removing transponder chip, breaking open the flip key, putting transponder chip in, removing blade from normal key and drilling a hole in it for the roll pin in the flip key etc..)

What kind of money we talking from VW for one?

inder · Post by **inder** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 12:36 am

Not sure m8, Â£100?

DIY would be cheaper I guess. or maybe find an uncut flip key on ebay cheaper? then have it cut and coded?

Can give you part to ask dealer?

i was sure the whole point of having to break they key and do it that was was because the flip keys operated on a different frequency, so you needed to butcher one and put your gubbins in there so it worked?

inder · Post by **inder** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 9:34 am

but the one I found listed, is the same freq as the key used in the polo, 433.92 mhz

was listed for a golf 2000
