Replacement Key Fob Shell Case fit for VW Volkswagen Jetta Passat Golf Beetle Rabbit GTI CC EOS 4 Buttons Keyless Entry Remote Key Housing with Uncut Blade (Black)

This is a perfect replica of the original VW key fob minus the internal circuit board and RFID chip, which you can transfer from your original. I was able to get the key blank cut to match the original by taking it to a hardware store with up-to-date car key duplicator, and it was a free dupe because I brought my own blank (that came with the fob). Then I opened up the original fob, removed the circuit board and battery and transferred them to the new fob. I open up the upper part of the fob (removing a tiny phillips head screw) and removed the small glass ampule containing the RFID chip, then transferred that to the new fob with a dab of glue to hold it in place. After getting the new unit all together I tested it in my 2005 Jetta and it worked perfectly. Installing the RFID chip into the new fob and especially the process of reassembling the spring and latch for the switchblade action was the hardest part, and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone lacking mechanical understanding and the patience to keep trying until you get it right. It's probably possible to remove the RFID ampule without disassembling the upper case by fishing it out of a small hole if you know where to look and carefully pull it out with miniature tweezers. The ampule is glued in with a soft glue. The chip is read by circuitry around the ignition switch and the code number is relayed to the car's anti-theft security system that VW calls an immobilizer.

Just as described, well made.

Used this to replace a broken hinge on a factory keyfob. Worked well without too much effort.

I bought this for an mk6 golf. Doesnt work. 3 stars bc it may have been my mistake requesting for wrong model. Not sure

My original Jetta MKV Key blade roll pin and connector broke. A locksmith if you can find one who can do it wanted around $300. I got this key fob and swapped the key myself. Bet easy to do. !!HOWEVER!!! There’s a very tiny oval shaped electronic about the size of a grain of rice that you will need to make sure you get from the old fob. Otherwise, you’re going to the dealer.

Don't buy this. It is a complete junk. Looks ok at first, but when you try to fit the original printed board and key, it is not possible, unless you give effort and time to make it work eventually, but not guaranteed. There is no gasket to protect the circuit board from moisture, and you can not reuse the old one because the shell is designed without channel for the gasket. Stanchions which have to hold the circuit board are too thin and short, so the board can not be fixed properly. The 3 shell buttons are inaccurate inside and do not have good contact with the switches on the circuit board. Same applies for the panic button. The key is loose. In two words: nothing is right, nothing is close to original quality.

Direct replacement key fob for my Jetta. Just be careful removing the little security pill from your old key fob because if you break it and don't have a spare, you'll have to get it towed to the dealer to program another. Or maybe a locksmith can do it idk.
