Roger Blassberg 0 Posted June 8, 2005 I have the VW standard remote control for central locking/total closure/alarm arming, supplied by Scorpion I believe. Rectangular fob with two buttons on the front, a slider switch on one side and a 3-pin socket on the opposite side. One fob works, the other, spare, doesn't. I have replaced the battery, the LED lights up, the local "expert" says it is emitting a signal, but obviously not the right one because it doesn't talk to the car. VAG aren't interested, so no surprises there. It sounds as though it needs to be re-programmed. Any suggestions are most welcome.

corradovr6sc 0 Posted June 8, 2005 I had the same system on my car (VW Scorpion 5000). Sometimes the fob used to lose the signal and wouldn't open the car/switch the alarm off so I was told to point the fob at the radiator and hold the button until the car opened. You might want to try this first as it may be a common problem with this alarm system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted June 8, 2005 try holding the arm button down or if there are two buttons then hold both this works as a scan for some alarm fobs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noiseboy16v 0 Posted June 28, 2005 I think i have the same problem with one of my factory fobs Roger....any results with your fob? Dave :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted June 29, 2005 Dave, No, afraid not. One of these days the good one will fail or get lost and there's going to be a very difficult situation.......... Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted June 29, 2005 Fellas, Scorpion bits can be obtained from 01257 249 928. I think they are called electro systems. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 29, 2005 Try Timpsons (the shoe repairers) - they are pretty good with alarm fobs and are fairly knowledgable, they wil either send it away or if it's old enough you may be able to replave it with a 'learning' remote which you can program from the working one (I got 2 for £50) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noiseboy16v 0 Posted March 27, 2006 New fob received Saturday morning, £41 all in...... obviously a different casing to the standard VW fob. But more importantly works perfectly. Top marks to Electro Systems and Gav. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
