Default Just picked up a switchblade Key for my 97 a4 1.8T...

Already modified the key itself to fit into the switch blade, and am now trying to program it as per the tech article.

1. turn key 1 to on in ignition
2. lock drivers side door with key 2
3. press unlock on the remote once
4. lock then unlock the door with key 2'
5. test remote by pressing unlock
6. remove key from ignition

all steps work when programming my regular remote, but when i use the switchblade remote the unlock test works, but when i remove the key from the ignition and try to unlock it again, the switchblade remote does not work.

HELP!!!

Default Yes, the lights flashed with the switchblade just like they did with my normal remote...

i deprogrammed the normal remote and had to reprogram it, and the reprogram worked fine. The switchblade worked as well to Unlock the door during the programming process, but would not work to unlock or lock the car afterwards...
