Volkswagen Key Replacement

Volkswagen Key Replacement in San Jose

Volkswagen vehicles use several key styles depending on the model and year. Older VWs often rely on a basic transponder key or a remote head key that combines the cut blade with a remote, while many use a flip-style key where the blade folds into the fob. Newer Volkswagens with push-to-start commonly use a proximity smart key, letting you unlock and start while the fob stays in your pocket. Because these systems differ, we always confirm your exact year, make, and model by phone first.

Most modern Volkswagens include an immobilizer, an anti-theft system that requires the engine control unit to recognize a properly programmed key before the car will start. That is why a replacement key generally must be both cut to the correct pattern and electronically programmed to the vehicle.
