i lost my key to my 00 vw jetta.i got a new one through the dealership but these keys have a computer chip inside.the vw people said the car had to be brought in and reprogrammed but there is a way that i can go around that.the guy told me to check aroung the local forums to see if any of you guys knew how it was done. he said vw doesnt tell them because they weant the $150 to do th reprogramming.if any of you guys could help please let me know.

 

anyone got vag. that will fix it.

 

your best bet would be to pay and get it done right..

but check on vortex..

 

I have an Audi and I need mine programed too. Audi told me you need two keys to do it.

 

if you have one of the 3 original keys you can buy a new key and reprogram it yourself. if not then when you buy a new key you either need a vag and reset the code or take it to the dealer for$150 and they will do it.i prefer tp find someone local with a vag and reprogram it myself for a case of beer or something.

Yea, I know. When I bought my car the guy I bought it from only had one key. The batt was dead on the key so I bought new ones but can't program it till I buy another key. How long did it take for you to get a new one?

There was a guy on here selling a Vag but that was a while ago. His name was jokr78. Don't know if he sold it.
