Vag Com

[Vanbursta]

Please excuse my ignorance but where do you get the lead and software for the VAG COM, I am asking because I have an early Gal with the Infra-red remote and apparently if you renew the fob, it needs to be reprogrammed to the car by Ford, I assume this is done within the software somewhere? As they want

do a search on here for keyprogramming, you dont need anything other than, your car and the key. cost

I thought you managed to find the instructions for the infra-red remote ??

[Vanbursta]

I did find the instructions, but it turns out the infra red LED on the remote was duff, replaced it now and it is working OK, BUT the manual says that if you use a new remote, or the buttons are pressed too many times out of range, the remote has to be resyncronised with the car (also I have fitted a new central locking / alarm box and apparently it has to be resynced by Ford), to do so the dealer has to connect the car to VAG COM or FDS2000, I don't want to pay sixty five quid for the privelege though. You can only reprogram the remote if it hasn't gone out of sync and the 3 turns in the drivers door lock does NOT work with the infra red version, it only works with the radio one. Basically I would rather give the cash to someone on the forums who can reprogram it.

Hi

 

I have a 1997 Sharan with an Infra Red remote key, although having problems now, the sync of the remote by placing the key in the drivers door does work and has done on a number of ocassions since we bought the car in 1997. My vehicle handbook quotes this procedure so does ELSA WIN for a 7M Sharan 1.9GL 1996 model year, from 1998 the remote became radio operated. Hope this helps
