How to program key fobs WITH ONLY ONE KEY for a MK4 VW GTI, Jetta, passat, or Beetle

Tutorial on programming extra or spare key fobs for the MK4 generation VWs. This particular car is a 2002 VR6 GTI. It will likely work with others, you just have to try.
I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF IT WILL WORK WITH YOUR PARTICULAR YEAR OR MODEL. Please don't ask.

[@ravocean]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. The way I used a screwdriver as a key and got that place worked perfectly on my 2002 Jetta GLS. But the programming itself didn't work on the way you showed. I went VW's website and found an instruction to program the key fob. Instead of holding the key on the door for 10 seconds I locked and unlocked, then pressed the unlock key(the car honked) and that was it. So guys! If it doesn't work on your vehicle try other methods. I'm super glad I fixed my key fob thanks to the author. It was way easy to remove that part from the door and fix it. Thanks!

[@Phatphatyo]

Cool. Glad you got it figured out even though it was a little different.

[@embattledtoe0184]

man im here 7 years later and ts came in clutchh fuck the dealership 😭

[@araza786]

THIS WORKED! my other car was sat in the garage for months as my key barrels were all seized and screwed and the mechanic (my long time friend and neighbour) genuinely thought the only way to get it fixed was to change all the locks and keys and get them reprogrammed which would be £££s! this took all of 10 seconds!!!!

[@Phatphatyo]

Raza THATS AWESOME! Glad it helped. I can’t believe how many people it’s helped.

[@araza786]

Phatphatyo honestly dude - frisking unbelievable ... mechanic was gobsmacked

[@danr3144]

Unbelievable. I haven’t had a Volkswagen since high school in 1979. This is 1999 and what a delight to do the alarm

[@Strontium-90milkman]

Great tutorial! This also works with only one key fob in the ignition lock, ie. if you have no valet key and are replacing the fob part on your only key. Mine didn't honk when turning the screwdriver, it honked after I had pressed the new fob in the ignition lock a few seconds. I pressed one of the buttons a second time after it honked, and it works now.

[@Phatphatyo]

Awesome. Glad it helped. A couple other people said the same thing- that it didn’t honk right away but did with the press of the button. Weird, but as long as it programs. 👍🏼

[@noelahearne6843]

Amazing tutorial. I got it right first try. Thank you, nice to do those main dealers out of loads of money for a simple operation.

[@Phatphatyo]

Noel Ahearne glad it helped. :)

[@1952tgc]

Wow! Did this on my 2000 Beetle and the key fob now works great. Thanks, I owe you a beer😆

[@Phatphatyo]

Haha awesome! Glad it worked out.

[@VR6Roy]

Excellent tutorial! My wife's 2k Beetle (UK) has only one key, so got a fob from ebay. My problem is the driver's door has a dodgy solder joint on lock, so I tried it passenger side and it works!! Mine chirped after pressing the new fob the 2nd time. Thanks again, very helpful

[@Phatphatyo]

Awesome. Glad to hear it

[@Phatphatyo]

I wouldn't have thought to try the passenger side. Awesome. Good to know for everyone else that tries.

[@yermo130]

Good observation for me the way it works is the same but i just make the copy of the key put it without pull the cylinder key and i twisted to the left 5 or 10 seconds and 5 or 10 seconds to the right...until the car beeps ..also works on audi models when you change your battery got disable..so is easy to do it..i haven't done this way..great tip..

[@Phatphatyo]

Thx! Glad it helped. Good to know it works on audis too.

[@TheJorgSacul]

I have a 2001 Passat that I've been sweating having only one key to it since buying the car 5 years ago. This video has made my day, EBay, here I come!

[@Phatphatyo]

Haha awesome. That’s about how I felt til I figured it out. Good to hear.

[@Geripappa]

Good tutorial! Note: you don't need to pry that lock with a screwdriver jusr use your key in the lock and gently wiggle it out then pry it to spare the paint on the door. And please remember folks not all key fobs teachable to the car. It depends what type of part number the key has. It has to match with the car's comfort module.

[@Phatphatyo]

Geripappa true. Didn’t think of walking it out with the key. Good call. And you’re right about the fob. I’ve had a lot of people ask me about their fobs not working. Match that part number for sure.

[@Geripappa]

@@Phatphatyo yeah I'm doing this a lot. There are 2 major group of CCMs (the fob receiver) the 1j0 kind and the 1C0 kind. Thanks for the video!

[@Phatphatyo]

Geripappa you bet. Hope it helped. Thanks for the positive comments. It’s not everyday that you get something constructive on your wall. :)

Great video. Thank you for pointing out the difference between the beetle lock fix point and golf lock fix point and the importance of not dropping screw (neat trick btw) worked first time for me and perfect as I only have one key.. 💯 % kudos & many thanks

[@Phatphatyo]

Thanks for the kudos. I don't do many tutorials so it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that it's helped so many people. I wish I didn't sell the car. :( I miss it and every comment reminds me that I do.

[@periwinkleartistry9625]

Duuuude!!! I was about to pay $500 for a dealer to order and program a FOB for me until I found this vid. All I had was the valet key. Ordered a $24.00 FOB on Amazon and with the help of your video programmed it myself. You are a VW hero!!! 🦸‍♂️

[@Phatphatyo]

Best thing I’ve heard all day. That’s awesome and I’m glad to hear that it helped. I was in the same boat.

On our 1998 Golf GL we had to turn the key to the Left not right, but worked like a charm

[@joewontwice]

Did you remove the lock?

[@arsimismani2955]

VW Golf 4 1.9 TDI 1999 doors5. The way it WORKED for me is like this: I have 2 keys, for X reason both of them stopped working, i bought new batteries but didn't work , i tried many methods to reprogram but didn't work, and at the last moment i found out that My drivers side door didn't open all doors when i use the key, but the opposite door of driver whenever i try to unlock it activated my 6 car signals(and opened all doors) same like the key fobs, so i closed THAT door with key and kept the key turned closed, and i click the Open button on the other key and the door immediately tried to OPEN, than i did the same with other key by swapping them, try this it worked so easy for me and i thought this might help cause i waste whole day trying to find the solution. I don't know if it works with just one key because i already made them work try but by keeping the key turn closed and by clicking the button on that same key might do the trick. Good luck :)

[@Phatphatyo]

Nice. Thanks for the input. Hopefully that helps someone.

[@sammascience4848]

Excellent. Local locksmith wanted £140 ($140) and the car for an hour to do this. Crafty rat. Thanks for sharing.

[@Phatphatyo]

- IISUPERSAM glad it helped. :)

[@Zumblu]

Worked good! Only thing is my key fob won’t unlock the hatch but will unlock and lock the doors🤔 any ideas?

[@flowerlullaby]

It'll unlock it but you still need to open it via the door or key. I called a dealer, that's what they told me *shrug*

[@kluwe801]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@lupusdeum3894]

I picked up a new key for $5 on eBay, had it cut for $40 & programed it per the video. Thanks for the video! 🐕‍🦺

Thanks man, that really helped me a lot...

[@Phatphatyo]

Good. Glad it did. :)

[@sirretro2340]

Does this also work for programming the key to start the car? Or are additional steps needed? I have an 03 Jetta and I don't like just having one working key.

[@Phatphatyo]

CrossoverKen no it only programs the fob portion for the locks and panic. You’d still need to program the immobilizer (the chip) at a dealer or use a vagcom or something.

[@davelockhart3372]

Thanks guys was gonna ask same question. Thanks phat.

[@jbrown7441]

I don't know if someone mentioned this already, but if you back out the screw exactly 12 turns the lock will easily come out.

[@Phatphatyo]

jbrown7441 dude that’s a sweet way to do it. I don’t know that anyone did. Good call.

[@AndreEST]

Awesome, thanks man! I did this on an Audi A3 8L but you really have to take the door apart to get to the lock. Would have I known it, I´d just make a new key but now it´s done and work perfectly!!!

works for 2002 ibiza 6l, doesn't honk and you need to press open and than close button on new remote to program the keys.

worked! for me. honked when key was learned. Very happy!

[@Phatphatyo]

Awesome! I'm super glad I made this video. I couldn't find a good tutorial so I thought I would make one so people wouldn't have to do as much homework as I did but I'm glad it helped you. Thanks for watching.

[@mbigG.]

This is not working on my mk4 golf .. Idk if it is because my new fob is used and programmed to another car.. Or because the fob isn't compatable? Because there is 3 diffrent fobs there the one with the metal blue and white logo which is the old one.. There is the 2 newer ones that have the black and silver plastic logo.. But from those 2 the first version still comes apart easy like the old fob and the 2nd version is hard to take apart because it has locking pins and that's the one I have?????

[@bigd5625]

I’m about to try this, this weekend. I’ll be back to comment again!!wish me luck😂!

[@Phatphatyo]

I’ll try and check comments a couple of times this weekend in case you have trouble. Go get it. It’s not too bad of a process.

[@STiMigs]

Didn’t honk for me but if you follow his exact movements it worked perfectly. Trying again? Just remove the key and trace his steps! Thanks man

[@Phatphatyo]

There’s been some that say it honks and some say it doesn’t. I don’t know what the difference is but mine honked. 🤷

[@JoJoGaminG36]

This video helped me alot, not in the way I hoped it would but it fixed another issue I didn't even knew until now it existed :D. Both switches of the electric lock system on the driver's door are broken, they make the "click" sound but nothing happenes so ironically, I can't enter the programming mode. Both keys needs to be Programmed, but before that I need to replace the switches (hopefully not the lock itself), I can still close all door on the back. But, yeah, TY for the tutorial tho

[@Phatphatyo]

Awesome. Glad it was helpful.

Chris M T nice. Glad it helped.

[@TheJakeRobinson]

thanks for this... I thought I had a bad battery out of package... put a volt meter on it and then became perplexed as it was over 3 volts... so on a lark I searched for programming keyfob for my TDI... Cheers!

[@Phatphatyo]

Jake Robinson glad it helped.

[@TheJakeRobinson]

I may have spoke too soon - I assumed it would work - gave it a try... followed directions exactly. No joy. Does this indicate that maybe the battery is not making a good connection? I tested the battery with a volt meter and it's 3+ volts. My car has never been able to lock the driver's door with the key fob. I used vag com to program my fob to roll all 4 windows up/down. I had to get out of car, roll windows down and hit the door lock rocker switch by reaching inside the car... then use my fob to roll up windows. I've lived with this for many years and has been fine. My key fob just stopped working yesterday and I bought new battery tonight... watched your video and thought I would solve my problem... any ideas?

[@Phatphatyo]

Jake Robinson shoot I don’t know. If it was already programmed I would assume just a new battery wouldn’t unprogram the fob. Dumb as it sounds check the fob to see if it is lighting up when you hit the buttons. Maybe the battery didn’t go in quite right or make a good connection.

[@TheJakeRobinson]

thanks for replying. i'll double check that...

[@andrewhogg2279]

I literally have the fob with the blade . It unlocks but don't lock, any ideas how to do it with 1 key ?

[@Phatphatyo]

Mr Rees yeah unless the button went bad- this video shows you how. Except you’ll want to program the same fob instead of a different one. I’d unlock works but lock doesn’t you may have a problem with the fob itself. Give it a shot. Only takes 5 min but if it doesn’t work then it will tell you that it’s the fob that’s bad. You can always buy another and just swap the blades out.

[@Phatphatyo]

Mark lapham this process doesn’t have anything to do with locking manually if you didn’t pop your key cylinder. Wonder what happened?

It's corrosion on the barrel that stops it coming out easily or you can take a picture of your blade and purchase a cut blade off ebay

Please let us know if you were able to program the replacement key so it will actually start the vehicle. Programming the FOB itself is the easy part. A replacement ignition key (RFID) might still require a VW dealer.

I have golf mk 4 and i have remote from other car renault megane, will the same remote from other car work on golf mk4 ?

[@Phatphatyo]

Psycho Rider if it’s the same style it would. In the video the fob is from a Jetta but I used it in a golf. I don’t know about the Renault. I don’t know a lot about them. They’re not a vw product are they?

Psycho Rider I would imagine so, yes. Under rare circumstance maybe an Audi fob or something would work but even then I doubt it. It’s got to emit the right frequencies. I got mine from an old car but you can buy them from people used or get one online or from a dealer. I got one for my mk6 gti on eBay.

[@Phatphatyo]

Thanks for the kudos. I hope it helped you out as it has others. Feel free to subscribe and check out other tips and tricks. I have a couple more videos I need to get posted. If you do it will alert you when they hit.

Are there any model years that this won't work on? We bought a replacement fob/key for a 2015 Jetta SE TSI when our son lost the spare, thinking we could just get an auto locksmith to program it for us (not a dealer as they charge too much and usually want you to buy a fob from them) but every locksmith we called said they could only program up to year 2014.

[@Phatphatyo]

I don’t know he years. It works for about anything mk4, I’ve heard mk5 and 6, I don’t know about 7.

[@andrewwright.]

Brilliant video. Excellent detail.

[@Phatphatyo]

Awesome. Thank you. Glad it was helpful. It’s helped far more people than I thought it would. Feel free to subscribe if you’d like. No pressure but it helps me out as youtube has made it harder to monetize videos without subscribers. Again no pressure. I do have some more good little tips I need to get posted so they should be showing up at some point.

[@andrewwright.]

@@Phatphatyo subscription done. Bell added. Least I could do. 🇬🇧

[@Phatphatyo]

andrew wright you’re awesome. Thanks for doing it and again I’m glad it was useful. It’s hard to find a good tutorial and even harder to make one. I’ve made plenty of crappy ones. I felt this one was decent though. It’s had a lot of good feedback. Take care.

[@josht4901]

I’ve tried this on my 2002 1.6 SE on both locks and unlocking and locking and had no joy but I’ve only got a spare key so I don’t even know if it originally came with a fob, is there a way I could check ?

[@Phatphatyo]

Josh T I’m not sure how to tell if it had a fob. I would think that 2002 would have. This car is a 2002 and it had them. For what it’s worth though I used the spare key in the video. The fob shown isn’t the original. It only had the spare when I bought it.

[@outofthi5world567]

Thanks, this helped me out because I have 2 problems, I only have 1 key and my lock barrel doesnt work.

[@Phatphatyo]

And it still worked with a screwdriver? The barrel did come out?

[@outofthi5world567]

@@Phatphatyo yes I was able to take the lock barrell out, then I split my key in half so there was the blade half with the immobiliser chip and the button half. Blade half to turn the ignition, screwdriver to turn the door lock as per video and program the fob with the buttons just as in the video then when done out the key back together.

[@Phatphatyo]

Outofthi5world oh nice. Haha. Thanks again for the feedback. Feel free to subscribe for more VW tutorial videos. I need to put more on.

[@SaulWaring]

[@dcrooks33]

[@Phatphatyo]

darrell Crooks hmm I wonder why? Does the fobs red light light up when you click it?

[@dcrooks33]

@@Phatphatyo no so maybe the battery are dead

[@Phatphatyo]

darrell Crooks yeah I’d start there. The little red light ought to flash when you hit lock or unlock.

[@jonnywaselectric]

my key has the old blue and white logo but the new key design, Id say the new key design is easier I didn't even need a screwdriver. thanks for the video

[@Phatphatyo]

Yeah the new ones you just do sitting in the car I think don't ya?
