Remote keyless entry remote - programming GLS Passat 2002?

Answer 1

Open and read your owner's manual. The info to answer this question is there. With your door closed press the "lock" or "unlock" button on the remote for one second. Then insert your key into the drivers side exterior door handle key entry and turn the key either left or right to unlock or lock the door (doesn't matter which). It should be reset. If it is a new keyless remote, you have to take it to the dealer to have it programmed. It costs about $45, no matter how many keys you have done. And, they tell me they have to "get online" with Germany to do it, so if you need a spare, buy it before you get programming, because they charge you every time. This is probably the best way to get a spare, because if you have a key made outside of the dealer, it may work, it may work for a while, and then stop, OR, it might cause problems with systems in the car. I have a friend with a Jetta that made the mistake of just having a key cut by a locksmith. The car does some really weird things, like the W/wipers operate off of the turn signal switch. This only happens if he doesn't have the key turned just right in the ignition.............
