yeah mine had to be reprogrammed due to a ECU fault. chip talks to ignition then igntion to ECU then lets you start the car if thats how i remeber rightly!

You will need a specific GTI blank as it has a different immobilizer chip to all the other models in the range.

Cant start the engine until this has been coded to the car - a cut key will turn ignition but thats as far as you will get. The fuel supply is cut until the immobiliser is disengaged.
