volkswagen key fob Keyless Entry and Push-Button Start

Volkswagen has been around for decades and is famous for their classic cars. There are also many popular newer models that come with features such as keyless entry and the push-button start.

From the 1930s to the 2000's, Volkswagen used a simple metal key with an ability to flip. They eventually switched to keys that had a chip and later still to smart keys.

Keyless Entry System

Modern cars have key fobs that allow you to start your car and open the doors without touching the vehicle. These systems use radio frequency signals that send and receive information between the key fob and the vehicle, using special circuitry to ensure security. Certain models are more sophisticated than others, with extra features like a remote start which only allows the vehicle to start when the key fob is within a specific range.

There are a variety of ways to add these systems to your vehicle no matter if you purchase it or add them afterward. Some systems just unlock the driver's door and others provide additional convenience features, for instance apps for smartphones that allow you to lock or unlock your car from anywhere. Some systems even have an alarm.

The system functions similar to a smart key, but with one or more antennas placed around the vehicle that are able to detect the electronic ID of the fob whenever you near it.

Keys with Transponder Chips

These electronic micro-chips are built into the head portion of your Volkswagen key. When the key is put into your ignition lock and then turned, the chip transmits signals to the receiver in your car. The signals inform the car that you have the correct key, allowing it to open and start the engine. The chip is powered by a radio signal sent through the antenna ring on your car.

Prior to the 2000s, many automobiles used a simple metal key. In the early 2000s, most automakers started to use a key fob that featured a switchblade function, i.e. when you press one button, the key would pop out of the remote-locking fob, ready to be put into the vehicle's ignition. This became a very popular feature and is still used today.

When you receive your Volkswagen replacement keys, they will contain transponder chips that need to be copied to match your car's system. This is a simple process that can be accomplished at home with a key cloning tool like the KEYDIY X2 Remote Cloner or another similar device.
