Which key your Volkswagen uses decides how it is made. Years are approximate and vary by model.
| Years | Key type | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Before about 2000 | Plain or valet key | No chip on most models. Cut by code. |
| About 2000 to 2010 | Transponder flip key | A laser-cut flip key with a chip. Programming needs the car’s security code. |
| About 2008 on | Slot key and Advanced Key | A fob that goes in the dash, or a proximity key that stays in your pocket. |
| About 2015 on | Newer platform keys | Keys are tied more tightly to the car’s modules. Tell us the year and model when you call or text. If yours is one we cannot do, we will say so on the phone, before anyone drives anywhere. |
