EEPROM Method When your car key stops working, it can take some time for a professional to reprogramme it. In many cases the EEPROM is read to find the unique code of the car. This is a risky procedure since there's a great chance that the data stored in the module could be damaged. It's best to leave this to an experienced locksmith. An EEPROM is an in-built memory that is non-volatile and can be found in many electronic devices, including keys for cars. It stores data, including the unique security codes or encryption keys that are recognized by your car when you use the key to unlock or start it. These codes are vital because they inform your car that you are the owner of the key and that you have permission to drive. If your EEPROM is corrupted, the keys will stop working. The problem is caused by pressing the wrong key or accidentally hitting the wrong key. You may try to reset it by using a special tool however, this isn't certain to work. It is best to work with a professional with extensive experience in programming automotive keys. To reset your EEPROM you must first remove the Kessy module from the vehicle. It is located over the accelerator pedal on the left side the car. Utilizing a screwdriver to remove the single plastic clip holding it in the position. After that, you can unplug the two connectors to electrical power and remove it from the vehicle. Then you can read the EEPROM data with a micro pincer or SOIC8 clip connected to an electronic programmer. Once you have all the data you are able to save the file and write it back to the EEPROM. You can make use of a program like PonyProg to read the EEPROM data. Click on Read Device. The EEPROM dump will appear as a hex array of characters. Three hex values stand out for the key_code (key_code), the key_count (key_count) and the V_ARG_ENABLED. To “virginize” the chip, you must change the other hex values to 00. Once you have done this, you can flash the chip to restore its functionality. Ignition Method This method requires activating the car's system with a second key. It may not work with all cars, but it can reset the key fob if it isn't working or the battery is dead. It will also work when the buttons have been pushed hard (a frequent cause is pressing down the unlock button multiple times). To apply this method to use this method, turn on the ignition and leave it on. Next, lock the driver's door of the car using the second key. Then, place the key fob in the lock position and point it to the transmission transmitter located on the front side of the car, just above the mirror. Hold the unlock button down for several seconds. The horn will sound, and the key fob will start to work. If the skoda key isn't functioning, the transmitter inside could be damaged or unsynchronized with the vehicle's anti-theft system. If this is the case, it will need to be changed into a new program. A locksmith or technician can assist you with this. If the key fob isn't working after reprogramming it, this could be because the car has “forgotten” the key (if the vehicle hasn't used in 6m). This should still allow you to test a resync option in the user manual – take off the driver's door lock cap and lock, then unlock the car using the key. If it does not work, you will need to visit the dealer. This usually works on keys that are no longer functioning and is less than two minutes. Keyless Entry Method The new generation of keyless systems which are present in the latest OCTAVIA cars as well as electric ENYAQ-iV vehicles, comes with an innovative security feature that can prevent thieves from “signal expanding”. A signal is sent to the vehicle and then to the key, which has to reply within a specific time. If the key fails to respond, the vehicle will not be unlocked and starts to ring its alarms. The car also can tell the key is near by by using a sensor in the door handle. This works by sending an alert to the key's internal coil, which in turn, responds by sending the signal to the sensor. If the sensor detects it then the car will open itself and switch on the interior lights automatically if it is set to do this. Even the older keyless entry systems come with an older-fashioned backup. If the remote doesn't work, you can open the driver's door mechanically by sliding out the blade or, with certain models, pressing down on a button in the door pocket. This is particularly useful if you've lost your key or if the battery has gone out. Remote Control Method If you've recently purchased a new remote control however, it isn't working in your car, it's likely that the seller did not program it to match your car. It is possible that the battery terminals are loose. They may appear loose and may be soldered in. Soldering them back in place will bring back the full function. If you're unsure about this type of repair, consult a professional auto elect technician. Switch off the ignition and then lock the vehicle from inside with the second key that's not matched (this will reset the memory position 1). Enter channel “01”. (Can be channel “21” on some Audi models.) Insert the new key fob into the door of the driver and press its unlock button twice within 5 minutes (often enough to reach the next available memory position). Repeat this process for up to four additional remote controls. Make sure to turn off the ignition before programming each remote. You should hear a tone every time you successfully program the remote.
