In this video I show how to program a replacement keyfob on a 2002 Jetta. I got a new keyfob from the dealer to replace the original damaged one. This programming requires 2 keys because you need one in the ignition and one in the door at the same time.
Procedure is this.
1. With new keyfob installed onto the old switch-blade/transponder portion of the key insert the key into the ignition with the buttons facing down.
2. Turn the key to the on position but don't start the car. Just until the lights light up on the dash.
3. Get out of the vehicle and shut door. Then insert the second key into the door and turn to lock and then turn to unlock.
4. get back into vehicle and press the unlock button on the keyfob for 1 second, then let up for 1 second, press for 1 second. You should hear the horn honk. If the horn didn't honk then let off and press again. Did the horn honk? if not let off and press again. Did the horn honk? If not then then see below. If the horn did honk move to next step.
5. Shut door and test out the keyfob. if the horn honked then the buttons should work.
If the horn doesn't honk then something is wrong.
1.Does the horn and the alarm work? maybe you just didn't hear it
2.The max number of programmed keyfobs is 4. Even if they are lost the computer still hold the programming. It may need to go to the dealer to wipe the programming and start out new.
3. The door lock switch didn't read that the key was moved to lock and unlock
4. The new keyfob isn't the right one for the vehicle
Also I'm sure someone will comment at some point that you can just stick your arm out the window and turn the key but there is a reason I don't recommend this. On a VW the windows can be rolled up and down with the key in the door and I don't want people to roll up their arm or head in the window. Just get out of the vehicle or have a friend stand next to the car and operate the key.

What if you don't have an extra key? And only the key fob?

Most of the people with problems are putting a key in the ignition that has an immobilizer chip that is not programmed to the car. There are three separate systems here. The mechanical blade and lock, the tiny glass immobiliser chip inside the key near the blade and aerial around the keyhole and the remote opening fob with its buttons and battery. Many locksmiths can clone the glass chip if they have the car and a working key and the right equipment. Second hand keys witl need the old glass chip removed and a new cloned chip inserted. Swapping the glass chip from one key to the next is very risky as the chip is fragile and glued in place. Best to clone the chip first in case it breaks when you attemot to get it out.

On some vehicles you need to leave the key in the ignition for several seconds until you hear the horn blow.

@retrolabvw

Dumb question but will this affect remote starting? I had the fob programmed for remote starting by pressing the lock button 3 times

Your RU-vid instructional video was very helpful. I successfully programmed my new 2000 VW Beetle key using my Valet Key! To those trying it for the first time, the unprogrammed key goes into the ignition and the valet key or whatever you’re using as a original goes into the outside door lock. I figured out I had to pull the new key out of the steering column and then push the unlock button slowly. Then the new fob worked flawlessly. Thanks again for helping us out and showing us the way.

Top video took me literally 1 minute to reprogram my fob using this video. Thanks 😉

This worked perfectly on my older model Tiguan. Thank you!! Later, when my other key fob stopped working (while at the mall, so no second key fob), I did the exact same procedure, except I opened the driver's side door, locked the central lock (on the door), unlocked, closed the door, then pressed the unlock button on the key fob twice (no horn, but after removing key, the key fob works). So for my Tiguan, the procedure works, except you don't need the second key, unstead, use the central lock on the door.

Crazy I’ve had my Passat for over a year and I never cared to search for a video how to program the key cause I always thought I would have to go to the dealer. One year later and outta curiosity I did and this worked !

@miker7777 Год назад

holy shit lifechanging. I thought i would forever have to manually unlock the doors for the rest of my passat's life. each few seconds of time saved are due to you.

Nice! Just tried it with aftermarket fobs I got off eBay and it worked perfectly! Thank u!

@kristinae.7084 Год назад

Thank you so much!! I had to repeat the steps 4 times, and my horn never honked, but now my key fob works! You made my day :)

@RussellJLed

Worked! I’ll add to this by saying I took the key lock out and used a screwdriver instead of a key in the lock/unlock step as I haven’t yet had my new key cut. But the new fob from eBay is now programmed! Saved myself mucho dinero! Thank you sir!!!
