Automotive Keys 2012-2018 Volkswagen / 4-Button Flip Key Vancouver

This listing picks up where the 2011 to 2016 flip key leaves off, covering Volkswagens to 2018. The later cars changed some electronics behind the scenes even though the key looks almost identical, which is why getting the year right matters. Four buttons, usually lock, unlock, trunk and panic, and a blade that swings out of the head when you press the release. Inside is the chip that talks to the immobiliser and the remote circuit, both of which have to be programmed after we cut the blade. VW's laser-cut blade has a groove down the middle instead of edge notches and needs proper equipment. We cut it, then register the key with the vehicle present. Registration and photo ID are needed. We see a lot of these keys after a blade breaks off in the door or the ignition, often after years of the flip spring snapping it into place. If your old key still works and you just want a new case, the shell listings are the way to go. If it has failed or gone missing, this complete key is what we make, at the shop or at your car, with or without a working key.
