Resyncing Key - 3 Red Flashes

Post by s8utt »

Just purchased a second hand Rline 2016 passat.

VCDS reports the following fault.

204293 - Remote key 1
B1479 54 [009] - Missing Calibration / Basic Setting
Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 00000001
Fault Priority: 4
Fault Frequency: 1

So Key 1 ( Half Plastic / Half Steel )
has a new battery
is able to start the car fine
the buttons don't work

Key 2 ( All Plastic )
All works fine.

I did the resync procedure ( Press unlock on key 1 while manually unlocking the car with the key in the door with key 2 )

Straight after that ( 2 to 3 seconds ) key 1 can lock or unlock the car. However after about 5 seconds, the key red led flashes 3 times and then the key stops working again

I've had a google and cannot find anything :cry:
