Do you need a replacement Volkswagen Car Key or Fob?
Have you lost your Volkswagen car keys? Is the fob not working or has your car key snapped whilst in the door?
Then Auto Locksmiths London may be able to help. We are able to offer VW key programming services and replacement keys and fobs at a fraction of the prices charged by main dealers, and if you are in the London area we can even send out one of our trained specialists to calibrate a new key for your VW, on site, while you wait!
There are 3 different types of security systems covering Volkswagen car keys and remote fobs.
All Volkswagen cars manufactured after 1995 (M-registration) will include a "transponder chip" within their keys which is used to start the car. Each chip requires an individual calibration and includes a small piece of plastic glass, which is hidden in the plastic section of the key or remote fob. Both Volkswagen "remote car keys" and normal keys without central locking buttons will include transponder chips.
Because of the inclusion of transponder chips a new Volkswagen key requires more than simply cutting a metal key. Replacing a Volkswagen key involves three important steps:
- Step 1: The metal section of the key is precision cut and tested to make sure there is a good fit for both the ignition and doors.
- Step 2: The transponder chip is then calibrated to your car to ensure it can start the engine.
- Step 3: If required the remote fob is also paired with the vehicle to allow it to operate the central locking.
We highly recommend that all VW car owners purchase a second spare key for emergencies. This will not only save you time and money but could also reduce the stress of having to arrange a new key at the last minute in the event of any future losses.
