The Volkswagen flip key, and how we set one up.
Volkswagen flip keys are known for a pivot that gets sloppy and a spring that stops pushing the blade out. Before long you are opening the key with your thumbnail, and eventually the blade falls out entirely. When the key's electronics are still fine, a new shell solves it without touching the car. This listing is the housing only: case, button pad and a blank flip blade, with no chip and no circuit board. We open your old key, transfer the board, and then cut the blade on our machine to match your old one or your code. The car carries on recognising the key because the electronics have not changed. Most people need nothing else. If your key also stopped working electronically, if the car no longer starts with it, or if the remote does not respond to a new battery, a shell is not enough and you will need a complete key. Bring the key to 4105 Macdonald St and we will open it and check. Make sure the button count matches; VW used three- and four-button keys in these years.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.

How it works, and what to know.
Before you call
- One listing covers 6 model years, 2011 to 2016, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- This is the case only. Your existing circuit board, battery and chip move across, so it does not need programming to the car.

Still unsure? Call 604-734-7233 with the SKU.
Can you program this key to my car?
If the FCC ID or part number matches your key, yes. We program it at the counter or at your car.
Do I need the car there?
For programming, yes. The key is paired to the car itself.
My key looks the same but the FCC ID differs. Will it work?
No, it will not program. Match the FCC ID, not the look.
Can you erase a lost key?
Where the car allows it, yes. We remove the lost key from the car's memory when we program the new one.
What ID do you need?
Photo ID, and the registration or insurance in your name.
