When your Volkswagen car doesn't start due to the anti-theft system, it can be unsettling. If you've utilized an unsynchronized smart key, you may encounter this issue. Regardless of the cause, here's how to reset the security system: Use your remote key FOB to press the unlock button. Turn the driver's side door key to unlock and switch the ignition to the ON position without starting the vehicle. If the issue persists, close all windows, exit the car, lock the driver's door with the key, and wait for about 15 minutes. Unlock the driver's door again with the correct key, start the engine within 15 seconds of unlocking, and it should start successfully.

    To turn off the security system on the Volkswagen Jetta, simply press the unlock button on the key fob.

    I own a 2002 VW Passat that was running fine yesterday. However, this morning, it starts up for one second then dies immediately. I don't know what to do. If someone experienced with this issue could offer guidance, please text me at 3317-502-8239 (my personal cell phone). I've never dealt with this type of vehicle before. As a single dad of three kids, I need this car to get my children to school and myself to work. I have key fob problems that have drained the battery. I've tried disconnecting the battery, but the problem persists. The yellow car symbol on the dashboard beeps annoyingly when I turn the key to the accessory position. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless those who can help me resolve this issue promptly. Please refrain from prank calls.

    A temporary solution is to remove the black cable from the battery and then use a metal object like a wrench to connect the black wire (not the terminal) with the red wire/terminal. This will allow you to temporarily access the necessary functions until you reach home. Remember that you'll need to repeat this process each time you turn off the key. Best of luck!

    I don't own a key fob for my 2006 Jetta, but I have the original key that came with the car.

    My 2004 VW Passat is not starting. I've inserted the key for 30 seconds and then turned it to the on position for 10 to 15 minutes, but it still won't start. Can you please assist me with this issue?

    I require assistance. My car was functioning properly, but when I removed the key, the lights were still on even though I didn't leave them on. When I tried to start the car again, the key turned freely in the ignition and the car wouldn't start or respond to anything. The electronics are completely unresponsive. I can't even use the key fobs to lock or unlock the doors, even though they have battery power. It seems like some sort of security lockout, but I can't figure out how to reset it. Does the key usually spin freely when the security system is activated, or could there be an issue with my ignition?
