Key Fob Woes....anyone pair a 3button instead of a 2 button?

[rodgertherabit]

My 2 button has had its day and a buddy gave me an old 3 button remote (with trunk pop)... I cant seem to get it to pair up any ideas? is it even possible?

Ive been following the procedure and got no where (confirmed with vcds)

I buy the 3 button China remotes and they work just fine on the 3 different b5s I've had over the years, check the part number maybe it's not a compatible number.

I have 3 switchblades that are to my b5 sedan that are 3 buttons and my last b5 had a 3 button fob too.
You probably have a different key fob. I know there are 2 styles of 3 buttons that are the same shape and only one of them works I believe. If it's the right one then try clearing all existing remotes from the central locks memory because it might be full (you can only program up to 4 key fobs on b5s)

this one has an IMMO transmitter, the original 2 button does not...

What are the confirmed working 3 button part #s you guys have?
