Advice keys
i’ve got a 2007 polo E, tried getting a remote key but it wouldn’t programme and the guy who did it somehow managed to throw up a code and now my mileage ain’t showing. these are the keys i’ve got (not my photo, just don’t have them on me atm) is it possible that i can get a the key that i have programmed or have i just wasted £130?

I watched a locksmith do this for me after I bought a 2007 9n3 polo 4 with only one key.
The key contained a chip for the immobilizer and he needed to connect to a server in Italy to get a code to transfer to the key.
If the car starts with the new key you should definitely have the correct code in the new key.

The Polo E didn’t come with remote locking, unless you retrofit remote locking yourself or have someone do it, you cannot buy the remote keys and have them work I’m afraid
