Central Locking/Alarm remote control

[Roger Blassberg 0]

One of the OE total closure and alarm remote control fobs I received with the car (purchased about 18 months ago) has never worked, so I took it apart - lo! and behold, no battery, so I bought a new one from VW.

Now the red LED works when you press the button, but it doesn't operate the central locking. I asked the parts man if it needs programming (there's a tiny 3 pin socket in the side of the remote which looks as though it would be for that purpose) but he said that it does not need to be reprogrammed.

What do people think?

The fob has the marking MPT 1340 WT EXEMPT on the back if that's any help.

If it's any help it's probably a Scorpian dealer fit unit. Try a Scorpian dealer.

Thanks. I'll try that route.

 

The fob has a Volkswagen label on it, and is flat and rectangular with a slide switch on one side and a small socket on the other, plus 2 buttons on the top - if that's a clue for anyone else to give an opinion as to its type/origin.
