Volkswagen and Audi Key Services

Common requests include the Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, Atlas, Taos, Beetle, A3, A4, A5, A6, Q3, Q5 and Q7. VW and Audi have used several generations of immobilizer and key technology, and the model name alone doesn’t tell us which one your car has — the VIN does.

All Keys Lost

No working key? For many VW and Audi models we can make a new one after verifying ownership. Photo ID required.

Spare and Chip Keys

Have one working key? Add a verified spare now. We program VW and Audi transponder and remote keys.

Proximity and Push-Button Keys

Keyless-entry and push-button-start VW and Audi models use a proximity key. We program and test compatible keys.

Volkswagen Ignition Switch Repair

Have to jiggle the key, or the dash flickers and the car won't start? It may be the ignition switch, not the key. We diagnose and repair it.

Need a verified spare key? Our Vehicle Key Services hub covers other makes and key types.

Immobilizer and Module Diagnostics

A no-start isn’t always the key. Low battery voltage, antenna faults, instrument-cluster issues, steering locks, wiring and replaced control modules can all affect authorization, so we review scan data, symptoms and repair history before recommending key work. See Immobilizer Repair.

Good to know: some newer VW and Audi systems (Immo4, FAZIT and other protected procedures) require dealer-controlled access. We check your VIN and tell you up front whether we can do it or whether the dealer needs to be involved — before anyone drives out.

We check your key system by VIN and give you a quote before anyone drives out.

3. We Come to You

Our technician comes to your car, or you can bring it to Omega Locksmith, our affiliated shop, by appointment.

Volkswagen and Audi Key FAQs

How much does a VW or Audi key cost?

It depends on the model, year, key system and whether you still have a working key. Call or text 773-521-7000 with your VIN and we’ll give you a quote before we schedule anything.

Can you make a VW or Audi key with no original?

For many models, yes, after we verify ownership. Some protected systems need dealer access — we check your VIN and tell you up front.

Can you program a used VW or Audi key?

Not always. Used VW and Audi keys are often locked to their original car. Call us before buying one and we’ll tell you whether it can work.

Why does the immobilizer light stay on?

Usually the car isn’t recognizing the key, but voltage, antennas, wiring, the instrument cluster, steering lock or a module can cause the same light. We scan the car first so you don’t pay for a key you don’t need.

Can you come to me?

Yes. We’re mobile 24/7 across Chicago and nearby suburbs. You can also bring the car to Omega Locksmith, our affiliated shop at 4346 W 51st St — call first.
