mk3 golf standard chipped key immobiliser

is there a way to disconnect this as i have a cat one alarm anyway and only have one chipped key so wondered if theres a way to remove this without just taping the chipped key to the colomn lol

 

not possible i believe as it is tied into the factory fit ecu

 

Get another key - most keycutting places do chip keys now.

My theory is any additional bit of security is worthwhile, even if it is a pantsy stock immobiliser.

 

so how do you program the new chipped key ?

Wondering if you can advise


I have just bought a late 94 cabriolet with I believe chipped key. Havn't started using the car yet but initial enqiries with insurance company were suggesting I needed an immobiliser fitted.


Isn't the standard chipped key set up insurance recognised? Or do they think it hasn't got one being pre 95? Should I pursue it with them?


Thanks

You get the key programmed by the key cutter - they have the kit to do this now.

I do not believe the chip key is to Cat 2 standard. On a Cabbie I'd be wanting a decent alarm anyway!!

 

what sort of cost is it ?

 

Around 30 last time I had one done.

 

cheers problem solved then shame i have a modded flip key for my car but theres no chip in it

 

Once you've got a 2nd working key, I would take the chip out of one and put it in the flip key- gotta be do-able!

 

howd u mod a flip key cus i want one!

 

theres a faq on it it's dead easy
