Replacing Your Volkswagen Key

If you lose your Volkswagen key, you'll require a replacement. The process of getting a replacement from the dealer will cost you money and take time to wait for it to arrive.

It's tempting to purchase second-hand VW keys online or from shops that sell them. However, they're not capable of disarming the car's standard immobiliser system.

Battery Replacement

Modern electronic keys are more convenient and functional than the old-fashioned manual keys. However, they will eventually run out of power or stop working. If the VW key fob isn't responding to button press, or if the lock/unlock buttons take longer than usual to respond, the battery may need to be replaced.

You'll require an incredibly small screwdriver (preferably one with a flat-head that is wrapped in tape to help to avoid scratching the fob) and a brand new 3V CR2032 battery to complete the job. Flip open the key by pressing the metal button and find the battery panel on the key, which is usually located right beneath the Volkswagen logo on the fob. Press up to release the panel, then press the button on your key fob to reconnect the battery. Make sure the positive side of the battery is facing down.

After you're finished, put the key fob back in its place. You'll be ready to go on your next adventure in Phoenixville or King of Prussia.

The drawback is that you won't have keyless entry or push button start. It's crucial to always have an extra Volkswagen Key.

If your VW key doesn't work, it could not be because of an inoperative battery. It may be that the battery needs to be reprogrammed. The good thing is that you don't have to take your car to the dealer to have this done. This can be done by an automotive locksmith.

To program fob car keys, you'll need some items in your possession. First, you'll need to know what year and type Volkswagen key you own. You'll require a copy of the registration or title for your vehicle.

It's usually an easy procedure that shouldn't take longer than an hour. Once it's finished and you're ready to leave from the dealership near Pittsford or Webster with functioning keys.

Key Fob Replacement

Modern VWs have key fobs which aren't just keys; they're sophisticated anti-theft devices. When you press a button in your VW key fob, the microchip inside transmits an unique code that lets your car know that it's key that you need to unlock and start. Key fobs are equipped with chips that are used to control features such as remote lock and push button start.

If your Volkswagen keyfob is not working well, you may need to replace the battery. If this is the case you will be able to tell by the frequency with which you have to press the lock/unlock buttons. If you are required to press the button multiple times in a row, it could be a sign that the battery needs to be replaced.

Another possibility is that the buttons on your Volkswagen key fob have gotten lost or stuck. This is common because keys are jostled often. It can be fixed by gently prying the fob from its case and then manually altering the buttons.

If the problem is more serious then you'll have to bring the key fob to a locksmith in order to have it replaced. If your key fob is equipped with transponder chips it will be required by the dealer to reprogram your car's computer to recognize it again and this process can be expensive. A locksmith for cars is able to program the computer for you and reduce the cost of a visit to a dealer.

Transponder Chip Replacement

Most VW's manufactured since 1995 have a transponder chip inside their keys. The chip disables the vehicle's immobiliser, a standard feature that stops it from starting without the correct key. If you've lost the key or it has stopped working, you'll need a new Volkswagen key.

A locksmith can cut a new key to fit your Volkswagen key, regardless of the type of key it is (chip key fob with intelligent chip remote, chip "push-to-start" or a regular key with no transponder). If you do not have a spare, they can make one for you. But you'll need to bring proof of ownership of the vehicle (vehicle registration and title certificate. ).
