The Volkswagen flip key, and how we set one up.
Few keys are as recognisable as the Volkswagen flip key: press the button on the side and the blade swings out like a pocket knife. On 1998 to 2002 Jettas, Golfs, Passats and New Beetles, it typically carries four buttons, lock, unlock, trunk and panic, with the immobiliser chip tucked inside. The weak spot is the hinge. Volkswagen flip keys are known for the blade going floppy or refusing to lock open, because the small pin and spring inside wear out. People often tape them or hold them open with a thumb for months before giving up. A new unit fixes that, and it also gives you fresh buttons and a fresh case. The blade is VW's internal-cut, high-security profile, so it needs a code machine to cut. After that, the remote is matched to the car's comfort system and the chip is added to the immobiliser. Volkswagen immobilisers from this period can be particular about programming, so we confirm the exact system on your car before starting. Bring the vehicle, registration and photo ID. If you are not sure whether your car is in this range or the next one, ask us to confirm for your trim/year, and we will check the board version against your old key.
