To program a key fob for a VW Passat, start by putting the key in the ignition and turning it to ON without starting the car. Then, step out of the car and close the door behind you. Lock the door with a spare key while leaving it in the keyhole. Next, use the ignition key to press the unlock button on the fob. This method should generally work for the B6 model and older. If not, you may need to visit the local VW dealer for programming. The cost for a new key, fob, and programming is approximately $300, though prices may vary.
How can I input a new key into my car's system if I don't have a spare key available?
To set up a VW Passat key fob, first insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the first notch. Ensure all doors are closed, then lock the driver's door using another key. Finally, press the unlock button on the key fob you want to program.
I'm having trouble locking my car with my key fob after changing the battery. Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening, or should I just use my spare key instead?
Could someone purchase a Passat key for me?
