Hi, I just bought a 2006 Jetta but it came with only one working key & fob. The dealer ordered a second key for me, but instead of being like a valet key it's actually the key half only of a fob set. I'd like to buy a 2nd fob to attach to the key portion, but here's the problem....the current working fob is part number
HLO 1J0 959 753 DC which apparently is only compatible with 2001-2005 Jettas. I ordered the exact part number from ebay but couldn't get it to program regardless of the different ways I tried (including the simplistic instructions in my manual.) That escapade already cost me shipping and restocking fees, so do I take another chance and order a fob that IS supposedly compatible with a 2006 Jetta but DOESN'T match the current fob part number that I own? And if I do and the new fob successfully programs, will that "deprogram" my current fob because they aren't identical? Or is it most likely that at some point the current fob case broke and someone put the insides into the older (and cheaper) case version?
Thanks for your thoughts!
