The background info;
My car only had the valet key when I bought it, so ordered some keys. The keys arrived a couple days ago and I had them cut.
Pulled the pin code with vag 401, and managed (with considerable fiddling) to get the keys programmed and working to start the car. (works a WHOLE lot better if the chips are IN the keys rather than the electrostatic bag )
Then set about programming the fobs. Got it figured out (more fiddling ) and the doors lock/unlock.
The trunk however...will not open with the remotes. I can open it manually with the keys, or using the switch on the drivers door.
And now the question;
For starters...SHOULD the trunk open with the fob on a 2003 TDI or am I hunting for a white whale??
I found one reference online to a valet switch in the trunk, but the car isn't here (wife took it to work) and the reference was not more specific. Don't remember seeing one, and I've been in there a time or three.
Possible programming/adaptation issue ie not enabled ??
Thoughts or ideas on where to start looking? I do not have an owners manual and cannot find anything about it in the Bentley manual.
I'm leaning towards it being a programming issue, but a starting point would be a time saver...
Thanks,
Al
