Default Lost key fob

How do I go about getting a new key fob? I didn't get one when I bought my 99 Ws6.

Check on Ebay. Or search the web. Dont go to the dealer. They charge to much for them.

Do you know where the correct programming is for a 99?

here's what i got:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

2. Remove the RADIO fuse.

3. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position (as far as you can go
without cranking the engine) 3 times within 5 second ending in the RUN position. The
vehicle will verify entry into the programming mode by locking then unlocking the
door locks.

4. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the first transmitter for
approximately 15 seconds. The vehicle will verify programming by locking then
unlocking the door locks. Your new remote has been accepted and all existing
remote codes have been erased.

5. Repeat the previous step for each additional transmitter (including any existing
transmitters). You may program up to 4 transmitters.This must be done before the
RADIO fuse is reinstalled.

6. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position. IMPORTANT: The remote keyless entry
system will not be operational if the radio fuse is open.

7. Replace the RADIO fuse. If at any time it is necessary to restart the procedure, turn the
ignition OFF and proceed again with step number 1.

hope that helps

Can it be a key fob from another car?

Say if I have 1 car with 2 fobs can I reprogram one to work with the other car?

If it is the same part number as the original it should work.
