Keys

Volkswagen car keys, or fobs, have an encoded transponder, which sends an information to the vehicle matching a unique code stored inside the ignition. The vehicle can utilize this information by using an onboard procedure to allow the key to be used and start the engine. This is a more complicated procedure than simply inserting a key into the lock. However it is essential to ensure that the key is compatible with the vehicle.

The key blade must press down on the cylinder of the lock and the cap will pop off.

Remote unlocking systems function exactly like a smartphone, allowing users to lock and unlock the doors from a distance, while also being able to remotely start your car at one touch.
