shotgun sam Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 The central locking on my car (Skoda Octavia) packed up today I thought at first it was the battery in the key fob but tried the other still not opening the car. The locks can be operated just using the key(s) does anyone know how to get it working from the key fob? Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusSmart Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Had a similar problem years ago on a Vectra had to change battery then prog key - this was simple put key in ignition turn to postion 1, press lock, doors then lock and unlock job done. Try this may help nothing to lose as VW/AUDI/Skoda http://www.techwatch.co.uk/forums/10159-vw-remote-key-fob-programming-guide-2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 To synchronise the remote, press any button on the key, while close to the car, door should unlock with the key within 1 minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
