Replacing Your Volkswagen Key

310762719_174097598533869_2015889089625884380_nlow.jpgIf you lose your Volkswagen key, you'll need to replace it. Getting a new one from the dealer will cost money and you will have to wait for it to arrive.

It's tempting to buy second-hand VW keys online or from shops that offer them. But, they're likely not capable of disarming the vehicle's standard immobiliser system.

Battery Replacement

Modern electronic keys are more convenient and useful than the manual keys of the past. However, they'll eventually be powerless or cease to function. If your key fob from VW stops responding to press buttons or you notice it takes longer than normal to get the lock and unlock buttons to function, it may be an indication that the battery is dying and needs replacing.

You'll need an incredibly small screwdriver (preferably one with a flat head wrapped in tape to keep from scratching the fob) and a brand new 3V CR2032 battery to complete the job. The battery panel is usually located just below the Volkswagen logo. Open the key by pressing the metal key. Press the panel to release it and then press the button on the fob of the key again to re-insert it with the new battery, ensuring that the positive side is facing downward.

Once you're done then put the key fob remote together and it should be good to go for your next trip around Phoenixville or King of Prussia!

Emergency Key or Bayonet Key

Even older VW models come with what's known as an emergency key, or bayonet. These keys don't need any power to unlock your vehicle or start the motor when you hold them below the ignition.

The downside is that you do not be able to use a keyless entry system or push button start. This is why it's important to have an extra Volkswagen key.

If your VW key doesn't function it's not due to an inoperative battery. It could be that it needs to be reprogrammed. It is not necessary to take your vehicle to the dealer for this service. This procedure can be completed by an automotive locksmith.

You'll need to have a few items on hand for programming the car fob. You'll first need to know which year and model Volkswagen key you own. You'll also require a copy of your vehicle registration or title.

These documents can be used to save time when purchasing a new VW key. You can then take your vehicle to an auto shop for programming. In the majority of cases it's fairly simple and shouldn't take more than an hour. Once the process is completed, you'll be able to drive away from the local dealership near Pittsford and programming Webster with a functioning key.

Key Fob Replacement

Key fobs for modern VWs that aren't just keys - they're high-tech devices to prevent theft. When you press a button in your VW key fob it transmits a unique code to let your car know that it's the correct key to unlock and start. Key fobs are equipped with a chip that is used to operate features like remote lock and the push button start.

If your Volkswagen key fob isn't functioning correctly, it could need an upgrade to the battery. It is easy to determine if this is the case by the frequency you need to press the lock or unlock button. If you have to press the lock/unlock button several times, it is likely that the battery has to be replaced.

The buttons on your Volkswagen keyfob could have become stuck or loose. This is normal since keys are jostled by a lot of pressure. It is fixable by gently prying the fob apart and manually altering the buttons.

If the issue is more serious, you'll need to bring the key fob to a locksmith and replace it. The dealer will reprogram the computer in your vehicle to recognize the key fob in case it is equipped with transponders. This is costly. An auto locksmith, however, can program the computer for you and save you the cost of a dealership visit.

Transponder Chip Replacement

Most VW's built since 1995 have a transponder chip inside their keys. The chip disables the immobiliser standard that prevents the vehicle from starting without a key. If you've lost the key or it's failed to work, you'll need to get a replacement Volkswagen key made.

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