Automotive Keys 2006-2013 Volkswagen Transponder Key Vancouver

Some Volkswagen owners do not need a remote at all. They want a key that starts the car, nothing more, perhaps as a cheap spare for the glovebox or for someone who borrows the car occasionally. That is what this is: a fixed blade with a transponder chip in a plain head, no buttons. The blade on VWs of this generation is an internal high-security cut, not the traditional notches on the edge, so it has to be cut on a code machine. The chip then needs to be programmed to the car's immobiliser. Without that step, the engine will start briefly and die, or not start at all. Programming VW immobilisers of this era can involve reading data from the car, so the vehicle has to be present along with registration and photo ID. A working key on hand keeps things simpler. If your existing key is a flip key with a remote, this plain key will still start the car and turn the door locks; it just will not lock remotely.
