20 Resources That Will Make You More Efficient With Volkswagen Car Keys
Volkswagen Keys and Fobs

A professional locksmith can replace a Volkswagen key. No matter if you're looking for a new Volkswagen key for a classic model or the fob of a modern VW, we can make the key.

First, locate the edge that separates the base and lid of your fob. Keep the fob in place and use a screwdriver pry it off.

Locks

Volkswagen's push-start technology is a great benefit for car owners. However, it can be frustrating when the battery for the key fob runs out or stops working. The Jennings VW service center in Glenview can assist you in the event that this happens to you.

First replace the battery on your Volkswagen Key Fob. You'll require a flathead screwdriver and an updated CR2032 battery. A piece of tape to wrap around the screwdriver might also be helpful to prevent damage to your device.

Once you have the new battery, ensure that it is the same size and voltage as the older one. If this solves your problem it's likely the switch or actuator for your lock is not working properly. If just one door is affected by the problem it's likely you need to replace either the actuator or switch specific to the door.

If the issue persists then you'll need to take your Volkswagen to an authorized dealer. They can request a replacement key based on your VIN and cut it. They will then manually program the key into the system of your vehicle. This will allow your vehicle to recognize the RFID in the key and then start the engine. This is the best method to fix this kind of issue. It will not be able to work if you simply replace the key using a spare without the RFID chip within it, as it will not connect to the computer in your car.

Keys

A Volkswagen car key, also known as a fob, has an encoded transponder that transmits a signal to the vehicle which matches the unique code in the ignition. The vehicle can utilize this information via an onboard procedure to authorize the key and start the engine. This is a more complex procedure than simply inserting a key into a lock. However, it is necessary to ensure that the new key is compatible with the vehicle.

Most modern Volkswagens require a special key fob with chips that allow for remote entry and push-start. If you're in the market to replace your Volkswagen key fob, it is recommended to bring along proof of ownership, the current registration of your vehicle and driver's license.

It is possible to start older Volkswagens with a metal ignition key however, it requires more steps. If you have an old-fashioned VW Beetle for example, you'll need to look for the small divot that is located on the top of the cap on the lock cylinder and insert the key. The key blade will press down and pull the cap off.

A key that is compatible with RKE will have a keyblade, which can be flipped out for flipping, whereas a KESSY-compatible key might not even have one. Both keys include a Megamos 48 CAN crypt transponder and can be cut and then paired to your Volkswagen model.

Transponders

Transponders are part of modern automobile keys and can prevent theft of vehicles because they are unable to hot wire your car. They are equipped with a microchip that appears like a glass tic-tac, and when you insert the keys into your ignition, it transmits an identification code to a reader coil that is located in the receiver unit in your vehicle. If the code matches that of the original key, your vehicle will start.

G28CarKeys emit unique signals within a particular frequency range, which means they aren't easy to duplicate. They can be used to transfer data from satellites to other devices in the spacecraft. Air traffic control uses them in planes to communicate with one another and provide information about the location and altitude.

The key has the Megamos48 CAN crypt chip and is compatible with a variety of VW models. It also comes with a high-security blade that prevents key duplication and ignition lock picking. A professional locksmith can cut it and pair it with an existing key. We offer this service in-store, so you can have your new key installed as soon as possible.

Remotes

Volkswagen has been at the forefront of key fob technology. With their iconic switchblade key owners could open their vehicle and set off an alarm with the press of the button. The style is still widespread on many SUVs and pickups.

Volkswagen developed their technology further in the early 2000s, resulting in smart keys that do not require the ignition to be inserted. These remote unlocking systems work like your phone. They allow you to lock and unlock your doors from a distance as well as start your car remotely at the click of a button.


Most Volkswagen models made since 1999 have an immobilizer built into the key fob. The immobilizer is part of the RFID chip that is located on the back of your key. You can recycle the RFID chip from an old key (if you have it), so you don't have to bring your VW to the dealer to get a new one.

To recycle your old key take the key ring off and cut it in half. Then, you can use acetone to remove the RFID chip. You can then reuse the key ring, and then put it on a brand new key. Your local dealer will still be required to program the immobilizer.
