Doing what I can within my means...
I recently purchased a used Passat and want to program a keyfob....after reading through the various vw forums I have downloaded VCDS Lite, purchased a third party cable, disconnected my aftermarket radio and fired everything up, have gotten communications by changing the comm port to Comm Port One and changed the Latency to # 2....
My question is...Can I now program the Keyfob following the directions ?
I ask because it doesn't work. I feel I have followed all of the right procedures and it sill doesn't program. Maybe I missed something, pretty sure I haven't.
That is the only feature I need or want and I'm surmising that I need to purchase a licence to acquire the functionality I seek, but I'm not sure ...If I need to spend $99 then I'm back at square one as that is about what a Dealer or Locksmith will charge for programming of my keyfob.
So... is there Good news, Bad news or both ?
Any input will be greatly appreciated !
