Just a few reminders
1 - You can still get the job done with manual tools if you have one of those little iron "sanders" ( what in hell is the correct word in english?) Lima de Ferro in portuguese ( i know, that doesn't help!)
2 - To get the immobiliser in it without messing the VW symbol you should do as shown here http://www.cleaned.be/gfx/faq/8/foto07.jpg and http://www.cleaned.be/gfx/faq/8/foto08.jpg
3 - And as to the final part : the portuguese forum explains how to get the key transponder working with your cars remote central locking. But this is only for Ibizas, Golf's IV and other cars that already came with a factory key that opens the doors at the touch of a button. For the Polo's you would have to change all the locks for those in the MKV for this to work. But you can get your alarm into the keyfob. But that's trickier. I'm still trying to do it myself. Some alarms are a straight fit, other, like mine, are not.
Nice and easy job, good DIY Migui_blu, gracias

I did this mod, still trying to get it to lock and unlock my car.
Anyway, if you have already split the key in two, then what i used was a small flat blade screwdriver in at the edge where you have split it from the other side of the key and gentle wedge it apart. It's very tight but you should get it.

Yeah its opened with some brutal force. Ive fitted a central locking kit that has a similar shaped circuit board as the one in the original key so am gonna put that in there, but first i want to sort out the key and transponder.
The thing is i have no spare key. so ill have 2 get one cut. mk4 polo keys have a transponder to decode the immobilser so where is the transponder of the switchblade key? is it in the metal key bit itself? any1 know where u can get laser cut transponder keys cut in london? ive tried timpsons, they said they cant do the laser keys.
