How do you take the flip key blade out of a vw key fob?

Why wont my vw caddy van let me programme new remote key fob?

  • I have a 1999 volkswagen caddy van and recently got a new remote key fob for it to replace an old fob I have. I have found programming instructions but it doesnt seem to be working. I turn the ignition on, lock the drivers door and press the unlock button on the fob. I am now supposed to hear the horn sound but dont. And when I turn the ignition off the fob doesnt work. The barrel in the drivers door doesnt work with the key as its faulty so dont know if this could be a reason why its not programming? Does anyone know why I am unable to programme the fob properly. It is the correct fob at the right frequency and same part number as the old fob. But I am puzzled.

  • Answer:

    replace the battery in the fob. Have you programmed the maximim number of fobs already and the new one is over the limit?

The Programming instructions are to re-synchronise the keyfob with the vehicle electronics after replacing a fob battery. They won't let you use a new fob just like that, or else it would be a thieves delight. What you have to do is program the vehicle to recognise the new fob and this is normally a dealer job.
