Put new batteries in it and tried many ways to reprogram it. Oreilly auto parts tester says it works. Any special way to reprogram it? It's a 1998 VW Jetta.

Okay, I've tried that method too. Maybe my remote is junk somehow. I'll buy one of them off of ebay and give that a try. I can get the car to honk 3 times but nothing when I push the unlock button on my remote.

Per Bentley, you need 2 keys. You have one minute to complete the procedure (I don't why, it just saids so --- maybe the car explodes, maybe a kitten dies somewhere). Insert one key in the ignition to the on position and the other key in the driver's door lock. Lock the door then unlock it till you hear the horn beep three times; then hit the unlock on the remote; horn beeps one more time. Remove keys, donepowerram250 said:
Thats from memory (did it about a month or so ago --- so no promises on correctness).

Now does the stock radio have to be in place in order for the keyless entry system to work? My car has an aftermarket cd player in it. I'm thinking about buying a new remote off of ebay, just hope it will work when I go to program it.
