Please provide the text you would like me to translate from German to English. The owner's manual is sometimes inaccurate, for example, it doesn't accurately describe how to do certain things for my Octavia.



Instructions:

(1) Insert a mechanically compatible spare key (not the one that needs to be reprogrammed) into the ignition switch and turn the ignition on.

(2) Manually lock the car door from the outside (using the key, not the remote).

(3) Then, immediately press one key (regardless of whether it's the on or off key) on the radio key you want to learn, wait one second, and press the key again.

(4) Manually unlock the vehicle and turn off the ignition.

(5) Test the newly learned key. The function only works after the ignition is turned off.



Note: Previously paired keys do not need to be re-paired; they will remain connected. When replacing all keys, it may be necessary to reprogram the immobilizer system.
