Subject:      LVC: OEM VW Keyless Entry
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

OK, so here's my latest hare-brained scheme: a customer gave me a
keyless entry remote with the little flip-out key for his 2002 Passat
which got totalled. I easily trimmed down a Vanagon "N" key blank to
fit it, so now I have a flip-out key for my money-pit, just like the
cool kids with their GTI's. So now I'm eyeing the Lock-Unlock-Trunk
buttons on this key thingy. Am I looking at a can of worms here, or is
it possible to just pull the Convenience Control Module from an
appropriate-era VW and just wire it up, program it for the remote and
go?   Or am I looking at an electronic nightmare best left alone? My
alternate plan is to shoehorn the guts of an aftermarket remote into
the OEM VW one, but the space is REALLY small.
