there has been posted a few times where peeps have had trouble syncing the key to the car,the only thing i can advise is look in the faqs and VERY carefully follow them,i did on my new remote key and got it working after a few attempts.

Most likely the key is faulty......it is not communicating with the vehicle.

The 5 flashes just means the key has gone through the programming sequence it has no means of detecting whether the vehicle has accepted it.

You need to watch the led on the drivers door to see if the key has been accepted.

I think it should. I read somewhere that the key should flash five times and the driver's door led should flash six times. On mine the key does but the door doesn't. Been like it for years. Tried the procedures documented but door LED is just continuously lit and then goes out after a number of seconds. Is this something that can be reset using VAG COM? I've bought VAG COM from ebay to hopefully reset the airbag light as the MOT testing station said they would refuse to retest it if I didn't get it sorted even though it isn't part of the MOT.

lock the door

unlock the door 3 times within 5 seconds each time hold for at least 1/2 second light on door will flash

remove key from door press and hold lock button and at same time press unlcok button 3 times all this within 5seconds the light on door will flash to say ok

keep tryin till it works

key is fine as engine runs, transponder is talking to computer ad vice versa if engines runs but cuts after about 10 second then transponder could be down .
