Broken Key
Hello. I only signed up yesterday and I already need some advice.
I have 1 key for my car (Used for remote unlocking + Transponder) and this morning it snapped clean in two.
The car still drives and all I need to do is hold the transponder near the ignition as I turn the key. This solution is worrying me and I want to know what my options are. I have seen replacement security systems for the MK3 but I'm not sure how reliable they are.
Could I get away with contacting a breaker and replacing the locks + ignition?
Thanks,
Adam

Re: Broken Key
OK so I'm I'm a better position now.
I have 2 key blades and 2 remote unlocking models. If I hold the models near the ignition they both unlock the starter and start the car.
One of the models also remotely locks and unlocks the car, the other does not. I have tried the remote programming 5 or 6 times on the second model and it simply doesn't work. The car doesn't go into the programming mode.
I'll look for other ways to programme the keyless entry and then make 2 flip keys.
