No Rob, not from another remote like with the TV set. But you can buy
any VW/Audi radi controlled remote for ~$70 and teach it with teh
existing vallet key. Just keep in mind that the later switcvh blade
remotes have less power which will severely limit your range. I have
both the S6 and the A4 with the switchblade and I had played with them
extensively. I wrote a lengthy post on the subjct a few years ago.
