- 2003 A4 Jetta (sold), 2010 JSW (sold), 2013 Passat 6MT traded for 2014 JSW with 6MT-TOTALED in November 2016, 2003 ALH 5MT conversion (sold), wheezing 2015 GSW/DSG and a new 2021 Tacoma Access Cab 4x4 p'up
My new '03 ALH wagon project came with both original fobs with the correct original cut keys. The led flashes when you press the unlock or lock button, but no response from the car. Also, the fobs are BADLY worn and shabby.
Both keys work fine in the driver door... not only lock or unlock all four doors at once, but also all four windows go down or go up when you hold it in unlock, or lock position for ~ 6 seconds. So the locking mechanisms are working. It's a communication issue.
But...
I have two other fobs from a 2014 with the wrong keys (of course). I am wondering if I can put the correct keys on the much newer fobs from the '14, then program the new fobs to work with the '03 comfort module/receiver.
The fundamental question is whether the '14 fobs can communicate with the '03 receiver ?? I think they changed frequencies in 2010, so maybe not compatible?
