Automotive Keys 2011-2016 Volkswagen / 4-Button Remote Flip Key Vancouver

Between 2011 and 2016 nearly every Volkswagen sold here with a turn ignition, the Jetta above all, plus the Golf, the first generation Tiguan and the Passat, used a four button remote flip key of this pattern, and our Volkswagen page calls the Jetta the Volkswagen we cut more keys for than any other in Vancouver. The record for this key names the make and the years rather than a model, so we confirm the exact blank against your VIN and your existing key. It is a folding key: the blade swings out of the fob on a spring, the transponder for the VAG immobiliser sits in the body, and the remote board drives the four buttons, typically lock, unlock, trunk and panic. Making one is a three part job done at the car with the VAG programmer and blanks we carry: cut the blade, write the transponder to the immobiliser, pair the remote. It can be done at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver or at the vehicle, and it never goes through a dealership. A spare beside a working key is quick. With no key at all the immobiliser's component security data has to be recovered before a fresh key will take, and our page is clear that the immobiliser generation sets how long that takes, so tell us the year when you book. What you are buying is the complete key. The shell version, the empty case with a spring and a blank blade, is for a key whose electronics still work and whose plastic has failed, which on a key this age is common; we move your chip and board into a new shell and cut a matching blade with no programming at all. The failure that brings Passat and Golf owners of this era to us is often not the key. Our Volkswagen page describes older cylinders seizing at the wafers and trapping the key; we extract the key, replace the cylinder and key it to the key you already carry where the lock allows, so a new key on its own would have solved nothing. If your key is stiff in the lock, say so when you call 604-734-7233. Registration, photo identification and any surviving key should come with you.
