Locks

Keys
Volkswagen car keys, also known as fobs, include an encoded transponder that sends an information to the vehicle containing an unique code that is stored in the ignition. By using an onboard procedure the vehicle can then utilize this information to authorize the key, and then start the engine. This process is more complicated than simply inserting the key into the lock, but is necessary to ensure that the new key can be used with the vehicle.
Volkswagens of the modern era require a specific fob that includes a chip that allows remote entry or push-start. It is recommended that if you need to replace the key fob on your Volkswagen take along proof of ownership, current registration of your vehicle, and an official driver's license.
Older Volkswagens can also be started with an iron key, but with more steps. If you own an old-fashioned VW Beetle for example, you'll have to locate the small divot that is located on the lower part of the lock-cylinder cap and then insert the key. The key blade should then press down on the cylinder and the cap will fall off.
A key that is compatible with RKE will come with a keyblade that can be removed for flipping, whereas a KESSY-compatible key might not even have one. Both keys contain a Megamos transponder that is CAN-cryptographical and can be cut to match the model of your Volkswagen model.
Transponders
Transponders are a crucial component of all modern car keys, and they help prevent car theft by making it difficult to hot-wire your vehicle. They contain a microchip that appears like a glass tic-tac, and when you insert the key in your ignition, it sends an identification code to a reader coil in the receiver unit in your vehicle. If the code matches the original key, your vehicle will start.
The chips broadcast distinct signals in a specific frequency range, so they're not easy to duplicate. They can also be used to transfer information from satellites to other devices in the spacecraft. Air traffic control uses aircrafts to communicate with each other and to provide details about the location of an aircraft and altitude.
The key has the Megamos48 CAN crypt chip and is compatible with a range of VW models. It also has a high-security blade to prevent key duplication and lock picking. A locksmith professional can cut it and pair it with a key that is already in use. This service is available at the store for you to receive your new key as quickly as you can.
Remotes
When it comes to key fobs, Volkswagen has led the way with the latest technology. With their iconic switchblade key owners could open their vehicle and activate an alarm at the touch of a button. The design is still very frequent on certain SUVs as well as pickups.
Volkswagen developed their technology further in the early 2000s, which resulted in smart keys that don't require the ignition to be inserted. These systems for remote unlocking are like your phone. They allow you to lock and unlock your doors remotely, as well as start your vehicle remotely with the press of a single button.
The majority of Volkswagen models since 1999 have an immobilizer in the key fob. This immobilizer is embedded in the RFID chip that is situated on the back of the key. You can actually recycle the RFID chip from an old key (if you have it) and therefore you don't have to bring your VW to the dealer to get a new one.
To recycle your used key, take it off of the ring loop and split it in half. Acetone can be used to take out the RFID chip. You can reuse the key ring, and then put it on a brand new key. The local dealer will need to program the immobilizer.
