So what is the solution for that then? Buy a new key fob from ebay? Thanks for the info. Saved me from buying unneccesary batteries lol

Ok I did the other method you gave me that one definately doesn't work. I tried it again. This time I managed to get the red light to stay on (on the drivers side door that is). I held down the lock button and pressed the unlock 3 times, on the third push I released both buttons. Now the red light on the car door stayed lit, but the light on my key fob blinked 5 times. Could this be a battery issue? Or is the car just not picking up the signal?

seatkid, I wish people could be arsed to READ what I wrote .... Let me quote something .. "Hi, I know this has been covered so many times in so many ways but can't seem to find my particular problem" In conclusion I can be arsed to search through the forum, I have even been beyond that in that I have tried that method which I found days ago. I have also tried other methods that people have mentioned. I even put the key in the door, did the unlock procedure like it says, yet the red light on the drivers side door doesn't stay on. It actually goes off for a bit until it starts blinking again. Even with it off I still tried but to no avail.

Thank you for your reply. Only the key with the fob on it works to open the boot. So looks like the lock on the drivers door has been changed. Is there any way of still programming it to work at all?

Hi, I know this has been covered so many times in so many ways but can't seem to find my particular problem. I have 2 keys, 1 that is just a key, no buttons on, and 1 with buttons (The fob, obviously lol) Now the fob key, when pressed the lights flash on the key but nothing happens (By this I mean it doesn't lock or unlock the car). I have seen about reprogramming the key but I have a problem. The fob key will only start the car, if I put it in the door lock it won't turn either way. The key that doesn't have a fob will unlock the car but won't start the engine. So is there any other way of reprogramming the fob with turning it in the door lock etc? I know nothing about cars so please if someone could explain like they are talking to a kid lol that would be great. Some details, I have a Galaxy Ghia TDi 1.9 2003
