Vw Sharan Vag-com Socket?

[Guest PSKey28]

Hello

 

I'm new to this forum, have recently purchased a VW Sharan TDI on a W plate, I am thinking of purchasing a version of VAG COM, can somebody please point me in the right direction where I can find the socket, this way I can find out which able will fit etc...

 

Any help would be appreiciated.. Is the software easy to use, as I need to re-programe the spare key as it does not work, but opens all the doors.

 

Thanks

MK1's it's under the ashtray on the center consul, on MK2's it's usually on the drivers side lower dash betwen the steering column and the edge of the dash

you dont need VAG com to program a key, do a search on the topic as it has been covered countless times before

Can I just add that the way to program the key requires TWO other keys that are programed. If you only have one you will need VAG-COM.

True my bad :lol: I miss read the original post! do we wish to program the key into the PATs system or is it a none operating remote key?

Yep - the VAGCOM socket is behind/underneath the ashtray, at floor level. Wiggle the ashtray assembly out and you will see a nice purple multi-pin connector waiting for connection.

Great, thanks for your info, I will look over the weekend.

 

The keys are a different story, neither of them work as a remote central locking but both of them work for locking and un-locking the doors by using the key whole. Only one of them actually start the engine, the other starts the engine then it stops instantly.

 

thanks
