Locks

Volkswagen's push start technology is a huge advantage for car owners, however, it can be a bit frustrating when the battery on the key fob gets depleted or stops working completely. The Jennings VW service center in Glenview can help if this happens to you.

When you've got the new battery, make sure that it's the same size and voltage as the older one. If this solves the issue, the issue is most likely caused by a bad switch or actuator in the lock.

This is the best way to fix this problem. You cannot replace the key by one that does not contain the RFID chip as the spare will not be able to connect to the car's computer.

Keys

Volkswagen car keys, or fobs, contain an encoded transponder that sends an alert to the vehicle that matches an individual code inside the ignition. The vehicle is able to use this information by using an onboard procedure to authorize the key and start the engine. This process is more complicated than simply inserting the key into a lock but it is necessary to ensure that the new key is able to be used with the vehicle.

The key blade will then push in and lift the cap off.

A key that is RKE-compatible has a keyblade which can be flipped out and in a KESSY compatible key may not have one at all. Both keys contain an Megamos CAN crypt transponder. They can be cut to match the model of your Volkswagen model.

Transponders

Transponders are an integral component of all modern automobile keys, and they prevent car theft by making it difficult to wire your vehicle hot. The key is equipped with the appearance of a tic-tac. When you insert the key into the ignition, a reader coil is activated in the vehicle receiver unit. If the code matches that of the original key, the car will start.

These chips broadcast unique signal over a specific range of frequencies. They are therefore difficult to duplicate. They are able to transmit information from satellites to other devices aboard the spacecraft. They are utilized by air traffic control to communicate between planes and to provide information regarding the location and altitude of aircrafts.

These remote unlocking systems work similar to your cell phone, allowing you to lock and unlock the doors from a distance, while also being able to remotely start your car with one touch.

Since 1999, the key fob of the majority of Volkswagen models comes with an immobilizer. The immobilizer is incorporated into the RFID chip that is situated on the back of the key.
