Volkswagen key replacement is a straightforward task for locksmiths who are professional. We can make a key for any Volkswagen model, whether it is a classic or modern VW.

Find the gap that separates your fob's lid from its base. Keep the fob in place and use a screwdriver for prying it off.

Locks

Volkswagen's push start technology is an enormous benefit to car owners, however, it can be a bit frustrating when the key fob's battery runs out or it stops functioning completely. If this happens to you, the Jennings VW service department in Glenview is here to assist you.

The first step is to try replacing the battery on your Volkswagen key fob. You'll require a flathead screwdriver and a new CR2032 battery. A piece of tape that you wrap around the screwdriver might also be useful to prevent the fob from being damaged.

If you do replace the battery, make sure that it has the same voltage and size as the old battery. If this resolves your issue your issue, it's most likely to be caused by a defective lock actuator or switch. If just one door is affected it's more likely the switch for the door or actuator is required to be replaced.

If the problem persists you'll have to bring your Volkswagen to an Volkswagen dealer. They can order a new key in accordance with your VIN. They will then cut it, and manually program it into your vehicle. This will enable the vehicle to recognize the RFID chip that is in the key, and let you start your engine. This is the best approach to solve this issue. You cannot replace the key by one that does not have the RFID chip because the spare won't be able to connect to the car's computer.

Keys

Volkswagen car keys, or fobs, have an encoded transponder that sends an information to the vehicle containing the unique code contained in the ignition. Using an onboard procedure, the vehicle is able to use this information to authorize the key and begin the engine. This is a more complex procedure than simply inserting the key into the lock. However it is important to ensure that the new key is compatible with the vehicle.

Volkswagens of today require a special fob that has a chip for remote entry or push-start. It is recommended that when you need to replace the key fob on your Volkswagen you bring evidence of ownership, current vehicle registration, and an official driver's license.

Older Volkswagens can be started using keys made of metal, though with a few more steps. If you have a classic VW Beetle for example, you'll need to locate the small divot that is located on the bottom of the lock-cylinder cap and wedge the key in. The key blade should then press down on the cylinder and the cap will fall off.


A key that requires RKE will have a flip out key blade, while keys that require a KESSY key may not have a key blade at all. Both of these keys will contain a Megamos 48 transponder chip that is CAN and can be cut and paired with your Volkswagen model.

Transponders

Transponders form an integral part of all modern car keys. They also prevent car theft by making it impossible to wire your car. The key contains an embedded microchip that resembles a Tic-tac. When you insert the key into your ignition the reader coil will be activated within your vehicle's receiver unit. If the code matches that of the original key, the car will start.

These chips transmit a distinct signal that is specific to a particular frequency range. They are therefore difficult to duplicate. They are also used in satellite communications to transmit information to other devices aboard the spacecraft. Air traffic control employs aircrafts to communicate with each other and to provide information about the location and altitude.

This particular key comes with a Megamos 48 CAN crypt transponder chip, and it is compatible with a variety of VW models. It also comes with a high-security blade, which can be used to stop key duplicates and ignition lock pick. A professional locksmith can cut it and match it with an existing key. This service is available at the store and allows you to have the new key as quickly as possible.

Remotes

Volkswagen has been at the forefront of key fob technology. Their iconic switchblade-type key let owners unlock their car, set off an alarm and start the engine with a press of one button. The style is still frequent on certain SUVs as well as pickups.

In the early 2000s Volkswagen advanced their technology even further to smart keys which don't require ignition. These remote unlocking systems work similar to your mobile phone. They let you lock and unlock your doors from a distance as well as start your car remotely with the press of a single button.

Since 1999, the key fob of most Volkswagen models comes with an immobilizer. The immobilizer is incorporated into the RFID chip that is located on the back of your key. You can reuse the RFID chip from an old key if it already have one. This means you don't need to take your VW to a dealer to get a brand new key.

To recycle your used key, remove the rings loop and cut it in two. Acetone can be used to take out the RFID chip. You can then reuse the key ring loop by putting it on the new key. It's still going to need to be programmed by your local dealer for the immobilizer.
