In a second of carelessness, I lost one of the remote door openers for my '98 Passat. I still have the second remote control, but I would like to ensure that whoever finds the lost remote can't unlock my car.
I did a manual reset to the second remote control to change its code. But will that automatically disable the first (lost) remote? Or does something else need to be done to dissociate a remote control with the car?
Good news and bad news.
Good news: Somebody found the remote I lost and turned it in. Thank you!
Bad news: Despite the manual reset to the second remote, I could still unlock the car with the first remote control, so the resetting of codes with one remote control does not dissociate the other remotes.
So the question still remains: is there a way to dissociate a remote control with the car?
Yes, if it's done with the VW 5051, 5052, or VAG-COM.
