Why Volkswagen car keys are not one size fits all

We work across 6 Volkswagen models in our Brisbane coverage, spanning 1998 to 2016. Some use bladed transponder keys, others use smart proximity keys with push-button start, and the two are programmed in completely different ways.

Volkswagen coverage depends heavily on the immobiliser generation. Pre-MQB cars differ from MQB, which needs security data, so we never make blanket Volkswagen claims and always check first.

Volkswagen key services in Brisbane

Spare key programming

Cut and code a second key so you are never stranded. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is the quickest Volkswagen key job.

Lost key and all keys lost

Lost every key? All-keys-lost is a different, more involved job than adding a spare and on some Volkswagen models it needs extra checks, so we confirm it per vehicle.

Remote and smart key programming

Remote-head keys, flip keys and smart proximity fobs coded to your Volkswagen, including push-button-start models where supported.

Key cutting to code

We cut Volkswagen blades to code from your VIN or key number, turning a worn or broken key into a clean spare.

What we need to confirm your Volkswagen key

Your VIN

The 17-character number on the build plate or rego papers. It pins down the exact build.

Model and year

So we match the right key type and immobiliser procedure.

A photo of your key

Or the key number, so we bring the correct blade and remote.

Spare or all keys lost

These are different jobs. Tell us which and we quote the right one.

Volkswagen car key questions

Can you program a key for my Golf?

Often, yes. The Golf is one of the Volkswagen models we work with, but the exact key depends on the year and whether it is a bladed transponder key or a smart proximity key. Send the VIN and we confirm before quoting.

Do you program Volkswagen smart keys with push-button start?

For many Volkswagen smart-key vehicles we do, but it depends on the exact year and key system. Send your VIN and a photo of the key and we confirm compatibility first.

I have lost all keys to my Volkswagen. Can you still help?

Sometimes. All-keys-lost is a separate procedure to adding a spare and it depends on the exact model, year and immobiliser. We check it from your VIN before we attend so you get an honest answer.

Do you come to me?

Yes. We are a mobile auto locksmith across Brisbane and program Volkswagen keys on-site at your home, work or the roadside.
