Volkswagen Keyless Entry and Push-Button Start

Volkswagen has been around for a long time and is well-known for their classic cars. They also have a lot of popular newer models, with features like keyless entry and push-button start.

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

Keyless Entry System

Modern automobiles have key fob systems that allow you to start the car and open the doors without touching the vehicle. These systems work with radio frequency signals that transmit and receive information between the key fob and the car, with special circuitry that ensures security. Certain models are more advanced than others and come with additional features, such as remote starters that allow the vehicle to only be started when the key fob is within a specific range.

There are numerous options to add these systems to your car, whether you buy it or later add them. Certain systems only unlock the door of the driver and others provide additional convenience features, such as a smartphone app that allows you to lock or unlock your car from any location. Some include alarms.

Keyless Start System

Keyless start allows you to start and enter your vehicle with the push of one button. It's not necessary to reach into your pockets or open the door with a physical key. When the button is pressed it sends a unique signal to the key fob is sent to the ignition to start the car.

The system is similar to a smart key. An antenna or two are placed around the vehicle, and they detect the electronic ID when you near the fob. This triggers the receiver inside the car to deactivate the immobilizer, and send energy to your starter circuit to begin your engine.

If your engine is operating, the system can be shut down by pressing and holding the button. The same signal can be used to lock your doors, so you don't have to fret about someone stealing or locking you out of your vehicle.

Older VW models offer the option of keyless entry, however, a lot of newer VWs come with it as standard. If you have an older VW with this feature, your key fob likely has what's known as an "backup mechanical key" that can be inserted into a specific emergency port on the steering column or dash to start your vehicle. Consult the owner's manual or service information to learn more about this procedure.

Keys with Transponder Chips

Sometimes referred to as transponder chips they are electronic microchips that are embedded into the head of your Volkswagen key. When the key is inserted into the ignition lock and turned to turn, the chip transmits an electronic signal to the receiver in your car. The signals inform the car that you have the correct key, which allows it to unlock and start the engine. The chip doesn't need any battery power to operate it simply receives a radio signal that is sent by the antenna ring of your car.

Before the 2000s, most automobiles had simple keys made of metal. In the early 2000s, many automakers started using a keyfob with a switchblade feature - the metal key would be released from the remote locking fob when a button was hit. This became a very popular feature and is still used in the present.

When you receive your Volkswagen replacement keys, they'll include transponder chips that need to be copied to match the car's system.
