Key Replacement
Volkswagen is a firm with a long-standing history of creating some of the most iconic automobiles of our time. Their older models, such as the Beetle and the Microbus, remain as popular even in their prime. However, the brand also produces some modern vehicles that are equally highly sought-after. This is good news for those who want to replace their Volkswagen car keys.
The majority of locksmiths can make an alternative Volkswagen key. This is because modern keys include an embedded transponder chip in to the plastic head of the key. The chip transmits signals that are received by a receiver in the ignition, and confirms that it is a genuine key.
The price will rise in the event that the new key needs to be programmed into the vehicle. Depending on the model this could mean opening and closing the door several times or pressing a variety of buttons to "update".
Not all replacement keys need programming, but it is more likely that those that come with the VW key fob or car remote for keyless entry will require this service. Engaging a professional to handle this is much more straightforward than doing it yourself.
