Volkswagen Key Types You May Have
Metal keys
Some Volkswagen vehicles use a traditional metal key. The blade operates the lock and ignition, without a separate remote built into the key.
Transponder keys
A transponder key includes an electronic chip that communicates with the vehicle. A replacement may need programming as well as a properly cut key.
Remote-head keys and separate fobs
Some keys combine the blade and remote buttons in one unit; other vehicles use a separate key and remote fob. The exact arrangement depends on the vehicle.
Smart or proximity keys
Push-to-start vehicles may use a proximity fob that the vehicle detects nearby. These systems differ from a traditional metal key and may require fob programming.

What Affects Volkswagen Key Replacement Cost
The cost depends on your Volkswagen’s year and model, the type of key or fob, and whether you need a replacement, programming or a key made after losing them all. Tell us whether you still have a working key, and have the year, model, VIN and proof of ownership ready when you call. We confirm the exact year and model by phone before discussing the service. The listed car lockout price is a $15 service call; that is not a quoted price for key replacement. For help with car key replacement in Silver Spring, call us with your vehicle details.
