Keys

Volkswagen car keys, or fobs, are equipped with an encoded transponder which sends an email to the vehicle matching an unique code that is stored in the ignition. Using an onboard procedure, the vehicle will then be able to use this information to authorize the key and start the engine. This is a more complex procedure than simply inserting a key into the lock. However, it is necessary to ensure that the key is compatible with the vehicle.

If the code matches that of the original key, your car will begin.

The chips broadcast unique signals within a particular frequency range, which means they aren't easy to duplicate. They can also be used to transmit information from satellites to other equipment on the spacecraft.

Remotes

Volkswagen has been at the forefront of key fob technology. With their iconic switchblade key, owners could open their vehicle and arm an alarm with the touch of the button. This design is frequent on certain SUVs as well as pickups.

In the beginning of 2000, Volkswagen made advancements in their technology further to smart keys that don't need ignition insertion. These remote unlocking systems work similar to your mobile phone, allowing you to lock and unlock doors from a distance, while also allowing you to remotely start your vehicle at a push of a button.

Since 1999 the key fob on the majority of Volkswagen models comes with an immobilizer. The immobilizer is embedded into the RFID chip that is located on the back of your key. It is possible to reuse the RFID chip from an old key (if you have it) and therefore it's not necessary to bring your VW to the dealer to purchase a new key.

To recycle your old key, remove the key loop on the ring and then split it in half. Acetone can be used to take out the RFID chip. You can reuse the key ring by putting it on a new key. The local dealer will be required to program the immobilizer.
