Why Does A Volkswagen Key Cost So Much?

Volkswagen Immobilizer Key

This situation happens about once a month.

Volkswagen Immobilizer Key

This is where the reader coil is located, just around the key hole.

Customer calls in saying they lost the key or keys for their VW. We tell the customer they will need to show proof they own the vehicle. Then they will need to have the car towed to the dealer.

Once the key comes in, we will have to program the new key to the car. The cost of a new Volkswagen key, remote, and programming is about $300.

So why the heck does getting a new key for a Volkswagen cost $300? My guess is the little mechanism that lets the key flip out is made of some top secrete element. Maybe a derivative of Turbonium? Okay, obviously that is not the case. Before we talk about why it costs so much, let’s talk

about how the system works.

Immobilizer

All VWs, and most every other newer car, are equipped with an anti-theft device that will prevent someone from “hot wring” the car. Volkswagen calls this system the Immobilizer. The car must see an authorized key, or it will not start. Well, on a VW, it will start and immediately shut off. ~FREE TIP, if your Vw start and shuts off right away, odd are you have an issue with the immobilizer system.

How It Works

There are 3 main components to the immobilizer system

  1. The vehicle’s key

    This is what the actual transponder looks like

  2. A “reader coil”
  3. An “evaluation unit”

The vehicle’s key has a chip inside of it called a transponder. It looks like a glass tic-tac. When you put the key into the ignition, the “reader coil” will energize the transponder in the key. Then the transponder will send a code back to the coil and on to the evaluation unit. If everyone is authorized, the evaluation unit will authorize the vehicle to start. If not, the car will start, or it will not stay running.

The Cost

Now that we know how the system works, let’s get into the cost. Anytime there is electronics in something the cost will go up. These new keys are not like the old ones you could get cut at the local Ace Hardware. Also, most newer keys have the keyless entry remote built into it. That will bring the cost up.

The keys and remotes also need to programmed to the car, adding a little more to the cost. That requires the vehicle to be at the dealer. When I program keys, I have to hook up the VW scan tool. Then we go online and retrieve the proper coding for the car. I don’t get to see the code anymore, it is loaded right into the car. Each key for the vehicle will need to be programmed to work properly.

Is It All Worth it?

Is going to all this trouble to prevent vehicle theft worth it? I think so. It will deter amateurs from stealing cars. But let’s face it, if someone really wants to steal your car, they will steal it no matter what you do.

I also have another tip. The keys that you find on Ebay, or that weird store in the mall are JUNK! I would say that ~95% of the keys that customers bring in to be programmed do not work. It stinks for them because they don’t really save any money. It usually ends in the customer paying twice for programming, or buying a key from the dealer anyway. Just be cautious when dealing in non factory keys.

If you remember what “Turbonium” is, post it in the comments. I am wondering if everyone knows what it is.

    What is the more expensive part of the key? Cutting the key or programming it? In my case I still have the key but would need new electronic bits inside. They stopped working for some reason. The guy I was speaking to at the dealership was telling me they would need to re-cut the key?? I don’t really understand why since I still have that portion.

      Charles says:

      @Ken, the key with cutting is the more expensive part. We charge about $50 for programming the key.

      If it needs the part that allows the car to start, then you would need a new key. My dealer doesn’t cut keys, they will only order a pre-cut key. We have a key cutting machine, but none of the parts guys want to cut keys.

Sprayed the inside of remote, make sure battery is out. Leave open & battery out for 10-15 minute. Replace battery, put fob together & it worked like new. Hope this helps.

    Are there alternatives to this? I have a 2010 Jetta and it came with two key fobs and a valet key … all of the keys work fine to unlock the doors and start the car the old fashioned way. Both of the fobs have quit working to unlock the doors, pop the trunk, or set off the panic alarm remotely though. I’ve replaced the batteries in both and still no remote love. Do I really have to replace the entire unit and have it re-programmed?

      Hi,

      Great site. I have one 2004 VW Jetta key working fine, in Bayside, NY, with VIN, access to lots of dealers and key places. So I want the least expensive way to have two (or even better, three) total, as the car is only 60K and runs really, really good. Although I am always listening for a little turbocharger push that is not there :). Have owned it 1 1/2 years and very impressed, especially for city and suburban driving, tight, maneuverable, reliable and small for parking. While I don’t care about remote entry, I gather there is little benefit in bypassing any features.

      Keylessride.com wants me to have two, if only one I need to take it to a shop after receiving (I will call those guys tomorrow).

      I know there are a few options here. Can you recommend one or two as the best? Absolute cheapness is not the only factor, I would like a one-pass solution that is likely to work, and I don’t mind stopping here or there for programming.

      Thanks!

      Steven

    Locksmiths can also cut and program these keys or make duplicates for you . We get our keys from strattec who actually manufactures the factory key blanks for most automotive companies including vw . Since we deal directly with this company our costs on the key are lower and we can cut them immediately with our own machines . We carry both factory with the logo and “aftermarket” or the same exact key without the logo which costs less. We can program these to the vehicle also if you break a part of the vw fob it is repairable since the key is actually three seperate pieces which consist of the key blade, the remote or fob and the transponder piece . The other alternative is the valet key which we can cut to work the same as the other key but still contains the transponder so it can be programed to start the vehicle also. Locksmiths prices go between $95 to $200 for the keys depending on which key you want . And as far as repairing the key we can do that for $15 to $100 depending on which part of the fob is broken

    The keys for VW’s and Audi’s seem expensive until you compare them to some of the other european makes.. BMW wants an arm and a leg, Mercedes wants both arms and a leg.. So the VAG group isn’t all that bad… A good locksmith can duplicate and program a flat key or a flip key to most 2000-2005 VW’s with no problems.. After 2005 VAG went to a little different immobilizer system. 2000-2001 cars had a chip in the key that the car would accept when you introduced it to the car, 2002- 2005 cars would accept the key chip, but also mark the chip with info so you can’t reuse the chip on another car. 2005-2009 cars need to have the chip in the key preprogrammed with the component protection data from the car before you can ask the car to accept it. 2009-2013 use the same system but with a different controller chip in the cars immobilizer box. The keys have come down in price, but you are still looking at a higher price than a Ford or GM key and remote.. Sorry, that’s just the way it is.. If you call a locksmith and they tell you only the dealer can do that, find another locksmith…
    Take care,

    PS, we sell a plastic or metal copy of 1998-2013 that you can put into a key hider for as little as $15.00 and the stick on velcro key hider for $5.00.. It will open the door, but not start the car. We have a lot of outdoor enthusiasts here in the great northwest and they love these..

    Just bought a 2011 Tiguan which came with just one key. Yep $300 for a spare at the local VW dealer… “bollocks to that.” What if I just take the chip out of my one good key fob and glue it to the ring containing the reader coil… then just get a bunch of cheap dumb keys cut … would that work? I’d still have the good fob for remote access for the Mrs and the kids would all have dumb keys.

      I wrote above about my looking for one for a 2004 Jetta. All the internet possibilities led to very little that was helpful.

      Some of the local lock shops could not do it, but I found two that are excellent. The I had used before on stuff in Nassau, Able, was about $110 and the one in Queens, ABC was even better at $90. This is programmed, without the remote, and looks nice. Little or no discount for doing two.

      So I would say just call around and try to find a reputable shop that is around $100. However, I don’t know if 2011 is any different than 2004.

    Saw this video again and it made me laugh… There is one more way these remote keys fail.. Too much junk hung on the end of them… I don’t like to group people together, but I have had 4 or 5 customers wanting me to warranty a flip key.. The hinge or chrome loop had broken off… All of these were teenage girls in 00-04. Beetles… ALL of these had about 5 pounds of stuff on the key ring… When you have a flat key, the distance from the ignition cylinder to where the key ring attaches is about an inch.. On a flip key it is double that.. If you want to keep your expensive flip key from breaking, don’t load up the key ring..

      Your best bet is ordering one from the dealer.

      After you get the key, the dealer needs to program it. There are a few non-dealer shops that can do it, but they are VERY few and far between.

They want to charge $225 for the key and $120 to program the key. I found “VW” keys on Ebay for $50.00. From what you’re saying, “Good Luck” with those keys and having them function properly. Any suggestions for having a functional key purchased and made for less?

      We are told that these key things are meant to protect us from auto thieves but what is to protect us from the dealers? If the free market is allowed to work, the after market will eventually move in to fill the need for affordable solutions to key replacement. A lot of these older cars are simply not worth replacing their keys at the dealer prices. Consider this when purchasing a used automobile! If you are an antropreneur, this may be your Day!

    So, I would use the key to open the door and then perhaps leave the fob hidden in the car so i could then start the car?

    This is what I have done on my previous non VW car and it worked well.

    Turbonium!? Wow! That is a blast from the past! I remember the Turbonium Beetle website with the VW Beetle at the center of the atom. It looked like a fun marketing idea. Unfortunately, the Turbonium Beetle was withdrawn from before it came to market. Fun Fact: For awhile, VW was selling off accessories for the Turbonium Beetle. You could buy the pinstripes for the bottom of the door that had the “Tb” from the Periodic Table of the Volkswagens.
