I have looked around alot and have not found any instructions that work. i have a new key and i need to program the remote to the car and i am having no luck so can anyone help?

 

The dealer has to program it. :-(

 

i heard that there is a guide that tells you what to do and how you do it does anybody have any websites or guides for me?

 

Check for instructions on Ross-Tech.com you will need VCDS/VAG-COM.

 

thats what everyone tells me but i dont know where to find one of those computers

 

Hey 02 A4, try one of these two similar sets of instructions, you may have already tried them, but I'll post again:

1st Option:
 Programming Remote Unit:
- Switch ignition ON.
- Lock vehicle mechanically at left front door using second key.
- Press "Open" button on first remote unit (key fob) once (to assign memory address to remote unit number one).
Note: The alarm horn will sound briefly each time the "Open" button is pressed to confirm the reception of the signal during this process.
- Wait six seconds after sending last signal, then press "Open" button again.
>Doors will now unlock (remote unit is now programmed).
- Lock vehicle mechanically again using second key.
- Press "Open" button on second remote unit (key fob) twice at 1 second intervals (to assign memory address to remote unit number two).
- Wait six seconds after sending last signal, then press unlock button again.
> Doors will now unlock (2nd transmitter is now programmed).
- Repeat procedure for additional remote units (key fobs) to assign memory addresses number 3 and 4 if necessary.
- Switch ignition OFF.
- - Check each transmitter for proper function.

2nd Option (similar)
 Take one key and put it in the ignition and turn the ignition ON.
- Close and lock the driver's door with the second key (while the ignition remains on).
- Take the first remote and press the "UNLOCK" button ONCE only - alarm will 'beep' but door will remain locked.
- With the key, unlock and lock the door again.
- Test the remote by pressing the "UNLOCK" button again - door should unlock.
- Open the door and turn ignition off and back on again using the first key

Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

Well, I'm sure "Joe" is not around anymore. This thread is 5 years old.

I had an 02 and understand that the CCM is an older configuration and could only be programmed by the dealer. After trying this and several other suggestions for several weeks, I finally gave up and went to the dealer to have it programmed. Will note that depending on where you got your key, it may still not work...
