How to program key fobs WITH ONLY ONE KEY for a MK4 VW GTI, Jetta, passat, or Beetle

- Tutorial on programming extra or spare key fobs for the MK4 generation VWs. This particular car is a 2002 VR6 GTI. It will likely work with others, you just have to try.
I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF IT WILL WORK WITH YOUR PARTICULAR YEAR OR MODEL. Please don't ask.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. The way I used a screwdriver as a key and got that place worked perfectly on my 2002 Jetta GLS. But the programming itself didn't work on the way you showed. I went VW's website and found an instruction to program the key fob. Instead of holding the key on the door for 10 seconds I locked and unlocked, then pressed the unlock key(the car honked) and that was it.
So guys! If it doesn't work on your vehicle try other methods. I'm super glad I fixed my key fob thanks to the author. It was way easy to remove that part from the door and fix it. Thanks!
Cool. Glad you got it figured out even though it was a little different.
man im here 7 years later and ts came in clutchh fuck the dealership 😭
Unbelievable. I haven’t had a Volkswagen since high school in 1979. This is 1999 and what a delight to do the alarm
Wow! Did this on my 2000 Beetle and the key fob now works great. Thanks, I owe you a beer😆
Haha awesome! Glad it worked out.
Amazing tutorial. I got it right first try. Thank you, nice to do those main dealers out of loads of money for a simple operation.
Noel Ahearne glad it helped. :)
THIS WORKED! my other car was sat in the garage for months as my key barrels were all seized and screwed and the mechanic (my long time friend and neighbour) genuinely thought the only way to get it fixed was to change all the locks and keys and get them reprogrammed which would be £££s! this took all of 10 seconds!!!!
Raza THATS AWESOME! Glad it helped. I can’t believe how many people it’s helped.
Phatphatyo honestly dude - frisking unbelievable ... mechanic was gobsmacked
This worked perfectly. Took two times to get it to go into program mode. But once it did it was very simple. Thank you.
Awesome!! Thanks for the good feedback. It makes making videos worth it. Subscribe if you want more Vw tips and tricks. Thanks again!
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH I did this to my a4 b6 and it worked!!! I’m so so happy I can’t thank you enough
*thecreator101* _ awesome! Glad it was helpful
Great tutorial! This also works with only one key fob in the ignition lock, ie. if you have no valet key and are replacing the fob part on your only key. Mine didn't honk when turning the screwdriver, it honked after I had pressed the new fob in the ignition lock a few seconds. I pressed one of the buttons a second time after it honked, and it works now.
Awesome. Glad it helped. A couple other people said the same thing- that it didn’t honk right away but did with the press of the button. Weird, but as long as it programs. 👍🏼
Great video. Thank you for pointing out the difference between the beetle lock fix point and golf lock fix point and the importance of not dropping screw (neat trick btw) worked first time for me and perfect as I only have one key.. 💯 % kudos & many thanks
Thanks for the kudos. I don't do many tutorials so it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that it's helped so many people. I wish I didn't sell the car. :( I miss it and every comment reminds me that I do.
Dang, you are really good at this. Clear, concise, but thorough. Subscribing.
Dontwannagivemyname thanks! Glad it helped
I have a 2001 Passat that I've been sweating having only one key to it since buying the car 5 years ago. This video has made my day, EBay, here I come!
Haha awesome. That’s about how I felt til I figured it out. Good to hear.
Thank you, i did the same thing as shown and i now have a new key :-)
Sinisa Sekulic glad to hear it helped!
Duuuude!!! I was about to pay $500 for a dealer to order and program a FOB for me until I found this vid. All I had was the valet key. Ordered a $24.00 FOB on Amazon and with the help of your video programmed it myself. You are a VW hero!!! 🦸♂️
Best thing I’ve heard all day. That’s awesome and I’m glad to hear that it helped. I was in the same boat.
Hältet
👍👍👍👍
Good observation for me the way it works is the same but i just make the copy of the key put it without pull the cylinder key and i twisted to the left 5 or 10 seconds and 5 or 10 seconds to the right...until the car beeps ..also works on audi models when you change your battery got disable..so is easy to do it..i haven't done this way..great tip..
Thx! Glad it helped. Good to know it works on audis too.
Saved me money on having vw programming my new key thanks man for posting this video it worked great ..
Awesome. Super cool to hear positive feedback. Feel free to subscribe for more VW videos and tips.
Thanks a lot, works perfect!

Guido Kessen Awesome. Glad it helped.
Excellent tutorial! My wife's 2k Beetle (UK) has only one key, so got a fob from ebay. My problem is the driver's door has a dodgy solder joint on lock, so I tried it passenger side and it works!! Mine chirped after pressing the new fob the 2nd time. Thanks again, very helpful
Awesome. Glad to hear it
I wouldn't have thought to try the passenger side. Awesome. Good to know for everyone else that tries.
Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you for posting this useful info ...nicely presented!
Thanks. Glad it helped.
Today I've finally tried to program a keyfob and I succeded thanks to your video so big shout-out to you my man
Glad it helped. Thanks for posting the fob info
What a fucking legend!

Thanks man, that really helped me a lot...
Good. Glad it did. :)
worked! for me. honked when key was learned. Very happy!
Awesome! I'm super glad I made this video. I couldn't find a good tutorial so I thought I would make one so people wouldn't have to do as much homework as I did but I'm glad it helped you. Thanks for watching.

On our 1998 Golf GL we had to turn the key to the Left not right, but worked like a charm
Worked good! Only thing is my key fob won’t unlock the hatch but will unlock and lock the doors🤔 any ideas?
It'll unlock it but you still need to open it via the door or key. I called a dealer, that's what they told me *shrug*
Tried this and it works! Thanks for the video very helpful!
Sam Bartonns glad it helped. Makes it worth doing the video ya know? If you want to subscribe I have some more tips and tricks I need to get posted. No hard feelings if you don’t but it helps me out if you do want some.
Awesome, thanks man! I did this on an Audi A3 8L but you really have to take the door apart to get to the lock.
Would have I known it, I´d just make a new key but now it´s done and work perfectly!!!
Andre Petraudze right on. Glad it’s helpful!
Does this also work for programming the key to start the car? Or are additional steps needed? I have an 03 Jetta and I don't like just having one working key.
CrossoverKen no it only programs the fob portion for the locks and panic. You’d still need to program the immobilizer (the chip) at a dealer or use a vagcom or something.
Thanks guys was gonna ask same question. Thanks phat.
Funny prank, connect like 10 keys to your friends car
Awesome!! Worked first shot on my kids 2007 Jetta city. Thanks so much.
Awesome. Glad it helped. Someone was just saying yesterday that it didn’t work on a mk5. Glad it did on yours.
Excellent video dude!! You explain it well and to the point
Good to hear. Thanks.
you are a life saver! thank you so much! I am eternally grateful for this tutorial.
TheGrimriftstalker AWESOME! I'm glad it helped. All I could find when I was in your situation was piss poor half tutorials and "this may work" sort of things so I had to make one for other people that were looking for one. I can't promise it was done well but it works. :)
You did enough of a good job for an idiot like me to follow from memory, lol.
great stuff! so well explained- very thoughtful. Thanx a bunch
Robert Lipscombe glad it helped.
Thanks for posting this i just ordered another eboard for a key that got wet & this will help mucho!
Chris M T nice. Glad it helped.
Not all heros wear capes. Thank you!
This worked perfectly. Saved me probably a hundred dollars.
That’s great to hear! I’ve got a couple other little vw tips and tricks videos if you wanna subscribe. No pressure though. Thanks again for the feedback.
thank you so much for posting this. It worked!!!
AWESOME! Glad to see its saving people some money. I had to do some looking around and found bits and pieces of stuff from each site and put together a good tutorial cause I couldn't find a really good one.
Awesome and thanks. Also, great job explaining everything clearly and on point.
I’m glad it was helpful. I’m new to the tutorial world. I don’t claim to be good at making them. 😀
Excellent. Local locksmith wanted £140 ($140) and the car for an hour to do this. Crafty rat. Thanks for sharing.
- IISUPERSAM glad it helped. :)
This video it really help me out. Thank you for doing this video. On my first try was perfect all thanks to you.
Awesome. It’s good to hear that it was helpful.
Hey just wanted to say thank you this worked also on my 2001 Volkswagen Beetle
Awesome I’m glad it helped.
Worked great on my golf!! Thanks a lot man.
L1nx good deal!
Method works with seat leon 1. Thanks man, you saved me some money 💪
Glad it was helpful
This worked on my 2003 VW Beetle but I had to turn the lock counter clockwise to get into program mode. Nice video, thanks.
Interesting. You’d think they were all the same. Glad it helped though.
@@Phatphatyo No, thank you buddy. I had no Idea how to do it without an extra key. You're the man.
wonderful work my friend. good on you for being creative.
Thanks for the kudos. I hope it helped you out as it has others. Feel free to subscribe and check out other tips and tricks. I have a couple more videos I need to get posted. If you do it will alert you when they hit.
What a lifesaver ! Fantastic instruction!

Very good, clear tutorial. Thank you.
brigitte george glad it helped. :)
Worked great for my 2005 Golf TDI, I used a old vw key I had.
AWESOME!
looks so much like mine,love it,this colour and wheels :O :D
Andy for sure. I shouldn’t have sold it.
Big props son! Well done thank you 🙏🏻
Glad it helped 🙂
Very nice tutorial. Thank you for the information.
You bet. I’m glad it helped you out. Subscribe if you want more V-dub vids and thanks for the feedback.
This is dope!!! I'm gonna give this a try
Kerron Regis let us know.
Thank you, worked first time 👍
Ashraf Allie AWESOME! Glad to hear it’s still helping people.
I picked up a new key for $5 on eBay, had it cut for $40 & programed it per the video. Thanks for the video! 🐕🦺
Nice. Glad it helped
Nice!
Where can I get this keys cut? My local Ace hardware wasn't able to cut it.
Tank you.
Thank you veru much for a wonderful tutorial, i have just done it on a 2012 polo vivo and it was successful the first time.
Awesome!! I’m glad to hear that it was helpful. It’s certainly cheaper than paying a dealer.
FANTASTIC! Thank you for posting this! I have a MK1 TT same as MK4 GTI and I have one key with broken fob and want to add a second fob. This programming would be exactly what I will be doing. I will let you know if it worked on the TT>
Yeah let me know. I’ve seen a lot of posts now from everybody with different rigs but I haven’t seen anyone say it worked on a TT. I bet it would though. A lot of Audi people say that it worked. Obviously mostly A and S series of course but never heard about a TT. Let us know.
Also thanks for the sub. You’re awesome.
Thank u so much i was able to do this myself thanks to ur help! 👍
Hannah Danielson oh awesome! Glad it helped
Good tutorial! Note: you don't need to pry that lock with a screwdriver jusr use your key in the lock and gently wiggle it out then pry it to spare the paint on the door. And please remember folks not all key fobs teachable to the car. It depends what type of part number the key has. It has to match with the car's comfort module.
Geripappa true. Didn’t think of walking it out with the key. Good call. And you’re right about the fob. I’ve had a lot of people ask me about their fobs not working. Match that part number for sure.
@@Phatphatyo yeah I'm doing this a lot. There are 2 major group of CCMs (the fob receiver) the 1j0 kind and the 1C0 kind. Thanks for the video!
Geripappa you bet. Hope it helped. Thanks for the positive comments. It’s not everyday that you get something constructive on your wall. :)
@@Geripappa добрый день. Скажите пожалуйста а ауди а3 2004 года можно так же брелок привязать?
thanks for this mate, much appreciated.
Awesome! Glad it helped.
Nice!
I’m going to try this tomorrow and I thank you!
Yeah- glad it helped.
Thank you, I did the same thing and it works now, thank you
Pet Fri awesome! Glad it helped!!
This video helped me alot, not in the way I hoped it would but it fixed another issue I didn't even knew until now it existed :D.
Both switches of the electric lock system on the driver's door are broken, they make the "click" sound but nothing happenes so ironically, I can't enter the programming mode.
Both keys needs to be Programmed, but before that I need to replace the switches (hopefully not the lock itself), I can still close all door on the back. But, yeah, TY for the tutorial tho
Awesome. Glad it was helpful.
thanks for this... I thought I had a bad battery out of package... put a volt meter on it and then became perplexed as it was over 3 volts... so on a lark I searched for programming keyfob for my TDI... Cheers!
Jake Robinson glad it helped.
I may have spoke too soon - I assumed it would work - gave it a try... followed directions exactly. No joy. Does this indicate that maybe the battery is not making a good connection? I tested the battery with a volt meter and it's 3+ volts. My car has never been able to lock the driver's door with the key fob. I used vag com to program my fob to roll all 4 windows up/down. I had to get out of car, roll windows down and hit the door lock rocker switch by reaching inside the car... then use my fob to roll up windows. I've lived with this for many years and has been fine. My key fob just stopped working yesterday and I bought new battery tonight... watched your video and thought I would solve my problem... any ideas?
Jake Robinson shoot I don’t know. If it was already programmed I would assume just a new battery wouldn’t unprogram the fob. Dumb as it sounds check the fob to see if it is lighting up when you hit the buttons. Maybe the battery didn’t go in quite right or make a good connection.
thanks for replying. i'll double check that...
no way :O I must try that out! thank you. trying it on a seat ibiza.
Have u try IT?
Worked beautifully, thank you sir
Awesome. Good to hear. I would have never thought that it would be helpful to so many people. Less money in VWs pocket and more in ours.
Thaxxxxx alot broooo that’s helpful works on my jetta2000

Carlos Fernandez Awesome. Glad it helped!!

Awesome. It worked! Thank you! 🙏😀🤝
Good to hear! Glad it saved you some cash
Brilliant video. Excellent detail.
Awesome. Thank you. Glad it was helpful. It’s helped far more people than I thought it would. Feel free to subscribe if you’d like. No pressure but it helps me out as youtube has made it harder to monetize videos without subscribers. Again no pressure. I do have some more good little tips I need to get posted so they should be showing up at some point.
@@Phatphatyo subscription done. Bell added. Least I could do. 🇬🇧
andrew wright you’re awesome. Thanks for doing it and again I’m glad it was useful. It’s hard to find a good tutorial and even harder to make one. I’ve made plenty of crappy ones. I felt this one was decent though. It’s had a lot of good feedback. Take care.
Cheers for the help man!
Ryan Watson glad it helped
Thanks for the tutorial 👍🏻
W1llN4sh you bet!! Glad it helped. Feel free to subscribe if it helped and you want to see some more good tricks and tutorials. CZcams makes it harder and harder to minimize videos now so it’s got to stay worth it for us. :) no hard feelings if you don’t but if you’d like to it sure would go a long way for me.
One question.. did the middle button unlock the boot? Or is that a dealer only feature?
W1llN4sh yeah mine did. It did the lock, unlock, trunk, and panic button. All 4.
Thanks for this info. My keys are obsolete so bought from amazon new FOBs
Awesome. Glad it’s helpful to you.
I’m about to try this, this weekend. I’ll be back to comment again!!wish me luck😂!
I’ll try and check comments a couple of times this weekend in case you have trouble. Go get it. It’s not too bad of a process.
Awsome worked great on a keyfob i found at the junkyard
Jason Lundeen awesome. glad to hear.
Very elaborate and helpful. Thank you
You bet. It’s always good to hear that it helped someone.
Thanks man :)
VW Golf 4 1.9 TDI 1999 doors5. The way it WORKED for me is like this: I have 2 keys, for X reason both of them stopped working, i bought new batteries but didn't work , i tried many methods to reprogram but didn't work, and at the last moment i found out that My drivers side door didn't open all doors when i use the key, but the opposite door of driver whenever i try to unlock it activated my 6 car signals(and opened all doors) same like the key fobs, so i closed THAT door with key and kept the key turned closed, and i click the Open button on the other key and the door immediately tried to OPEN, than i did the same with other key by swapping them, try this it worked so easy for me and i thought this might help cause i waste whole day trying to find the solution.
I don't know if it works with just one key because i already made them work try but by keeping the key turn closed and by clicking the button on that same key might do the trick. Good luck :)
Nice. Thanks for the input. Hopefully that helps someone.
You are the man! just saved me some money
Awesome! I’m glad it helped. Feel free to subscribe for more VW videos and tutorials. Thanks again for the feedback.
just orderd the key for 03 jetta gonna try this tomorrow.
sylbert cheekan should work on that year I'm pretty sure. That's still a mk4.
Perfect work for my project mk4
Awesome. Glad it’s helpful
I have no need for this, but good knowledge to have :)
Thanks for checking out the video, man.
I have a problem with my car at the moment not driven it for 2 weeks and it now sounds like a racing car, not sure if it’s the exhaust or the fact I’ve not driven it, plus my alarm keeps going off same model golf mk4
great tutorial, Thanks
steven blackmon glad it helped. :)
works for 2002 ibiza 6l, doesn't honk and you need to press open and than close button on new remote to program the keys.
Great video thanks for saving me $65 maybe even More tanks once again
JPSTYLE THEBARBER you bet! I’m surprised it was only 65. My dealer wanted 120
This is not working on my mk4 golf .. Idk if it is because my new fob is used and programmed to another car.. Or because the fob isn't compatable? Because there is 3 diffrent fobs there the one with the metal blue and white logo which is the old one.. There is the 2 newer ones that have the black and silver plastic logo.. But from those 2 the first version still comes apart easy like the old fob and the 2nd version is hard to take apart because it has locking pins and that's the one I have?????
did work, using your and another video and another comment below, so many ways and details how to do it uhh, 2hours work with searching, trying and did it
Wow. Well I’m glad you got it.
theses very nice
Good guy !
Do all vw golf mk 4 have immobiliser mine does not seem to work even though I have more than 2 keys
this is really good for me. i changed over my key blade, transponder chip and the circuit board into a new housing and the remote locking hasnt worked since. im hoping this will fix it
Hope so. It should if its a new fob
Thanks so much for this video! I am in a similar situation, I bought a 2000 VR6 GTI on Craigslist and it only came with one fob key (the fob buttons don't actually work, probably dead battery lol) and no valet key. So if I order another fob key on eBay, will this fob programming process work for me using my original fob key in the ignition instead of the valet key, like you did? Thanks!
Yeah it will. The only thing that won't work is the key blade itself that you order. A good example is my video. The fob key I had didn't work in the ignition because it was to a different car but the fob did work. The one you'll want (I THINK- DOUBLE CHECK ME) is HLO 1J0 959 753
hey great video, but i just wanted to ask, if you did order a new blade on the key fob you wanted to start using. would the blade work once the car has learned the new key fob. thanks
zvkeria yeah it would have. I didn’t, no. I left the key in the ignition. Ha. I looked into doing it. The fob would have still remembered the electronic part that does the locks. However, you would need to program the immobilizer chip in the key fob for the new key. That part you either need a vag-com device for or take it in.
Thanks for this guide))
Hope it helped.
Lol... sure works.. man you awesome..👍thank you
You got it man. Glad it was useful. Feel free to subscribe if you’d like to see some more tutorials and tips. I’m gonna get some more posted. No pressure but if you did it would help me out.
