Hey everyone!
I have got a 2002 VW polo (9n) which only came with the Valet key. The central locking works but the little red light on the drivers door security button does not light up. I have bought a remote key (original part) and followed the procedure for pairing it however it does not pair. The little LED on the key lights up when the buttons is pressed so I assume it is sending out a signal.
The central locking works fine for the boot, petrol tank filler and both doors when operated manually with the key so I assumed the central control unit for convenience system is working fine. Could it be that one of the previous owners has disabled alarm/remote key function in the ecu? (is such a thing even possible?)
What do you guys think?
PS; this is the procedure I followed
