Key replacement
Volkswagen keys and the MQB system.
Most Volkswagens built since the mid-2010s, including the Golf, Polo, Passat, Tiguan, T-Roc and Touran, sit on VW Group’s MQB platform, which codes keys through the car’s immobiliser rather than just cutting a blade. Many have the classic VW flip key; others use KESSY keyless entry and start. Transporter vans and the Caddy are covered too.
Key systems we work with
MQB Platform, UDS Immobiliser System, KESSY Keyless Start, Megamos Crypto Transponders
Faults we see on Volkswagen keys
Steering column lock faults, key fob unpairing after battery change, and snapped flip key pivot pins.
Škoda

Škoda is part of the Volkswagen Group and shares its key and immobiliser platforms, so the same blanks, tools and programming cover both.

Questions
Volkswagen key questions.
My VW flip key has snapped at the pivot. Do I need a whole new key?
Not always. If the electronics still work, the blade and pivot can often be replaced and the original transponder kept; if not, we cut and code a new key.
My Golf’s key stopped working after a battery change.
VW remotes sometimes lose their pairing when the battery is changed. We can re-pair it at the car.
Do you cover Škoda as well?
Yes. Škoda uses the same VW Group key systems; see the Škoda section on this page.
