Volkswagen Keys and Fobs

Volkswagen key replacement is a straightforward task for an experienced locksmith. Whether you are looking for an original Volkswagen key for an older model or an accessory for a modern VW we can create the key.

First, locate the edge that separates the base and lid of your fob. Keep the fob in place, then employ a screwdriver to break them apart.

Locks

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

The first thing to do is replace the battery inside your Volkswagen key fob. You will need to use an phillips screwdriver with a flat head and a brand new cell with CR2032. You could also use a piece of tape to wrap the screwdriver to prevent damaging your fob.

If you decide to replace the battery, make sure that it has the same voltage and size that the old one. If this resolves your issue then it's most likely that the lock actuator or switch is faulty. If only one door is affected the likelihood is that the switch for the door or actuator needs to be replaced.

If the problem persists it is necessary to bring your Volkswagen to a Volkswagen dealer. They can purchase a new key that is based on your VIN. They will then cut it, and then manually program it into your vehicle. This will allow your vehicle to recognize the RFID chip on the key, and let you start your engine. This is the most effective method to resolve this kind of problem. It will not work if you simply replace the key with a replacement without the RFID chip within it, since it does not have any connection to your car's computer.

Keys

Volkswagen car keys, or fobs, have an encoded transponder that sends a message to the vehicle with an individual code inside the ignition. By using an onboard procedure the vehicle will then be able to use this information to authorize the key, and then start the engine. This is a more complex procedure than simply inserting the key into the lock. However it is essential to ensure that the key is compatible with the vehicle.

Volkswagens of the present require a unique fob that includes a chip that allows remote entry or push-start. If you are looking to replace your Volkswagen key fob, it is suggested to bring along proof of ownership, current registration of your vehicle and driver's license.

It is possible to start older Volkswagens by using a steel ignition key, but it will require more steps. If you own a classic VW Beetle, for instance, you will need to locate the small cut-off at the base of the lock cylinder cap and then wedge your key in. The key blade will push downwards and then pop the cap off.

A key that requires RKE will have a flip out key blade, whereas a KESSY key may not have a blade at all. Both keys have a Megamos transponder for CAN and can be cut to the specifications of your Volkswagen model.

Transponders

Transponders are an integral part of all modern automobile keys, and they help prevent car theft by making it difficult to wire your car. The key has an embedded microchip that resembles an tic-tac. When you insert the key into your ignition the reader coil is activated in your vehicle receiver unit. If the code matches the original key, your vehicle will start.

These chips transmit unique signals over a certain frequency range, meaning they aren't easy to duplicate. They can also be used in satellite communications to send information to other devices on the spacecraft. Air traffic control makes use of them in planes to communicate with each other and also provide information on the location of the plane and altitude.

This particular key comes with an Megamos 48 transponder chip for CAN crypt, and it is compatible with a variety of VW models. It also has a high-security knife to avoid key duplicates and ignition lock picking. A professional locksmith can cut it, and pair it with an existing key. We can offer this service in store, so you can have your new key in place within the shortest amount of time.

When it concerns key fobs Volkswagen has set the standard by introducing new technology. Their iconic switchblade-type key was used to open their car, arm an alarm and start the engine with a press of a button. It's a common design that's still used on some cars and pickups.

In the beginning of 2000, Volkswagen improved their technology further to create smart keys which don't require ignition. These remote unlocking systems work like your cell phone. They allow you to lock and unlock your doors from a distance, as well as start your vehicle remotely at the touch of a button.

Since 1999, the key fob of the majority of Volkswagen models comes with an immobilizer. This immobilizer is embedded in the RFID chip that is situated on the back of your key. You can recycle the RFID chip from an old key (if you have it), so you do not need to bring your VW to the dealer to get a new one.

To recycle your old keys remove the keyring and cut it in half. Acetone can be used to eliminate the RFID chip. You can then reuse the key ring loop, and then put it on the new key. The local dealer will need to program the immobilizer.
