This is the greatest video EVER!!!! My spare key to my VW Passat that I gave to my husband, died. I replaced the battery TWICE, thinking that the 1st one may have been corrupted or something. But when it STILL didn't work after the 2nd new battery I knew something else was wrong with it. I went to the dealership and how much it costs to have my key fob reprogrammed, he said $90 - $120, but it's better just to get a new one altogether which costs $250. I left the dealership right away, pissed that I only have one set of keys to my car. That didn't sit well with me, so I searched Google on how to reprogram a VW Passat key fob and found this video. It took me all of 2minutes to reprogram my key fob on my own. THE BEST VIDEO EVER!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO! :-)

I must have researched on-line a good three hours trying to find out why my freshly re-battery'd fob wouldn't open the car, and how to obtain a replacement fob and get it reprogrammed and re-cut. Then I ran across this two-and-a-half minute video, and voila! My fob works just fine. Wheels And Motors rocks!

Another outstanding video from wheels and motors. I had the key reprogrammed at VW when one key got stolen and it stopped opening doors a couple of mouths later. VW suggested the key was worn (4 years old) and wanted to charge me 300 quid for a new key. This video sorted the problem out quicker than the drive to the dealer. Note I have keyless go and the process is very similar. Only difference is when in the car just start it using the button and this synced the key

The dealer was either ignorant or unethical to not test the remote battery for output, and attempt resync, which is right in the owner's manual. I would find a better mechanic, and a better dealership.

I love my 04' Passat GL Wagon. It was my X-wifes vehicle for a period before I finally got a chance to buy it. Her father, a dealer for Toyota, kept up on it, and I helped during the time I was able. Even I had forgotten as well as the xwife that even though the rear tailgate has an electric trunk opener inside as well as on the fob it also has a keyhole hidden very well in the upper right corner of the license plate. Just right at the end of handle. It was caked from not being used till I was detail cleaning. Smacking my forhead, I cleaned it up and relubricated everything. Never forgetting that again. Plus I love the small center visor that is easily forgotten. LoL

You are a Prince among ... over priced dealerships and locksmiths.. Lol ;) Thank You!! Just grabbed a 2000 Golf ( to haul my drums around) for 600 bucks. Came with one key. Grabbed another uncut key for 20 bucks, and the dealer wanted over $400 to cut and reprogram/Sync key fob to car. O_o? erm... No. Having this blade key cut for around 40 is reasonable,.. but to "Reprogram"... around $200 is insane. I realize this may have an Immobilizer in it, but when I bought the car, the batteries were dead in the fob. I replaced them.. Nothing. Did this exact thing out of instinct, and works perfectly now. Hopefully this will help with the new spare key fob without having to sell kidneys or whatever. Cheers!! Thank You!

Remember, this is just for resyncing the central locking function. It's not reprogramming the key/immobilizer. The battery has nothing to do with the car's immobilizer. In every key, there is a small transponder hidden inside it. This is separate from the central locking circuit and works without a battery. This transponder is only possible to program with special hardware.

This is a really good video and seems to work for a lot of people. But apparently not in my case. I bought a Skoda Octavia from 2006 (so it should be exactly the same as your VW) a couple of weeks ago, and the main key works, but the spare doesn't. The light on the key flashes when you push the button, but it doesn't unlock the car; and if you use the actual key to open the door, you can get in and start the engine (keeping in mind being quick about it as the alarm goes off if you haven't started within one minute). I've tried doing this, as that didn't work I changed the battery, and tried again, still nothing. Have you (or anyone else here in the comments) had any similar problems? Any tips other than going to a VW dealer and paying for a new key? (the previous owner said the second key hasn't been used for quite some time as he thought it had just ran out of battery and started using the other one instead)

My VW GTI has a push button start. Does this work the same way if I buy a new fob off of eBay and then I can reprogram it?

@wawayltd 6 жыл бұрын
I had people in comments below resolving problem with push start button. However, I don't think it will program new fob.. You can try, but I'm not sure.

This is documented, accurate info. Sometimes it will not always work. I believe that occurs when the remote is not OEM, but I have no sciency stuff to be sure. If it does not, a locksmith with the correct software can readily reprogram ( providing you have a good remote and a working system )

The manual for my 2007 Passat Wagon does not mention this procedure but i tried it and worked. The 12V battery was dead flat so needed the plastic key to open drivers door then climb inside to locate the small boot release in the tailgate. Once i swapped the battery (located in the boot wheel arch) i found the central locking doesnt work. 1) Lock car using plastic key 2) Unlock using plastic key 3) insert plastic key back into keyfob 4) insert key into ignition 5) Take key out exit car and try to lock remotely if it doesnt lock you may need to try again or replace remote battery
