Thanks for letting us know how to replace battery from fob. Can you please send me a link where can I get a new fob for my 2006 passat.

On engine swapped cars. We glue it to the barrel

Helped me. Thanks bud

But I am definitely going to get another two key fobs from Amazon or eBay for 14-15$ like you said just in case again thank you so much your a life saver

Thank you josh your video was very informative and helpful I was able to get my key out with the trick you showed me. & i out the key in half way & waited for the lights to come on & moved the steering wheel it went away but Now my car needs a jump the snow drained my battery again

The immobilizer is the dumbest piece of equipment that has ever been put in a vehicle. I hate it, and this damn thing has cost me my job in the past. I will never buy another Volkswagen vehicle specifically for this reason. I want to track down the man who made it who thought it was a good idea, and punch him in the fucking face.

Do you have any video how to program that remote to open and close the doors?

So buy a new key and take the chip out to put in the other? Or just buy a new key

Ich habe ein Problem mit einem Passat FSI 2007. Er hat kein Lenkrad und keine Fenster. Er hat ein gelbes Lichtsymbol für eine Richtung

Well done

Hey Josh my key fob refuses to come out of my ignition on my 2006 vw Passat 2.0 help

Amigo tengo un problema con mi volkswagen passat 2009 motor 4 cilindros automático esta prácticamente muerto le doy llave y no hace nada ya lo revisaron varias veces y no encuentran la falla repare la computadora del vehículo y nada todavía llevo dos años con mi auto sin encontrar una solución 🥺

question is the plastic key actually programed? I purchased a extra fob and I have seen yours and other videos on how to program the fob itself. to replace on lost... So a locksmith can cut me a new key.. That will really only be used to unlock the door and gas cap etc.. but that key does not have any coding?

Do we need to reprogram key buttons after we swapped the immobilizer chip?

Hey Josh,
I bought a used Volkswagen cc 2012 had it 1 week and every light in the dash came on and it is missing so bad it won't go even if you floor the gas it just sputters please help

About to attempt surgery...so it still needs to be in range to work ..but actually being INSIDE the fob is what's throwing the immobilizer active code?

Question…. I purchased a new shell for my daughters keyfob bc a button was broken. New battery, the black RFID chip (grain of rice) and mother board was switched over the new “fob housing”…. I can use it to crank the car …. BUT I CANNOT get it to lock/unlock or pop trunk!!! PLEASE HELP!!!! How were you able to unlock the car the one you have??

Instead of using the fob, depending on finger size, push then in, push the 2 teeth at the sides in that free's the fob carrier and push more and it will turn on the ignitions then press slightly further and the starter will engage, also the later b6 had a immo chip soldered on the circuit board of the keyfob immo 5 on

Thanks so much it worked ❤️

Hello I have a 2004 vw polo that has a standard key that has broken with metal-blade part and black-plastic-chip part, what would be the procedure if I buy a full-set of locks and a key from a salvage yard to swap over new locks and a key as cheaply as possible. Would I need vagcom or VCDS and is it possible to obtain them free. Great video thankyou so much.

Can you PLEASE tell me how to program the driver's seat position?! The seat position changes every time I open the door and it's driving me NUTS

Very helpful

I have a 2010 CC 2.0 and the origonal key was lost. Is there any way to do this for my situation? Or do i need the original key? Please help this would save me and the wife a great deal. We dont have the money for a dealer to make a new one and we'll tale a great loss trying to sell it woth no key. Thanks on advanced

Do the eBay blanks still lock the car with the immobiliser glued in place in the car ?

Meu amigo me ajude por favor 🙏🏻… desmontei como vc falou .. desamassei o ferrinho porém a tampa Ta caída não sei como encaixar a mola … me ajude aí por favor

vehicle passat cluster show immobilizer adaptation during key adaptation but key does not adapted where is problem? Key remote also not working but led light blink on key or key cell is fine?

First show immobilizer is active and then we are going to adapt ignition key show 0-1 key not adapted

I had a beep with a leak signal. Not sure if you know what that might be I have a 2006 Volkswagen passat 2.0t luxury

Hi Josh, i need your help please. i have a vw passat cc 2015. when i'm driving and stop the car and put the gear in neutral and remove the foot from the clutch the car shuts down because of the star stop system, so far everything is normal, but soon after immobilizer activated message, I have to remove the key from the ignition and put it back in for it to turn on. this has always happened when the start stop system is activated. when I deactivate the start stop on the button, the immobilizer doesn't appear. I've already changed the key for the second key, I changed the batteries but the same thing keeps happening all the time.

Hi Josh, i found your video by trying to understand how to remove the key barrel (where you put the key), so i can repair the plastic cover that moves up and down when you insert the key. Do you know that? Good video

How to do this in a manual car?

What if my black key inside the fob the tip broke off in my backseat armrest/trunk reach through. I am worried because i just had to reset the computer. So am I going to be screwed when the alarm goes off or to my key back up. I know sometimes I have to put it in the door to pair them again usually in presence of the anti theft alarm lol

You have disabled NOTHING!! I'm glad this has been helpful to so many others tho!

Why not spend the 150 from a locksmith to do a whole new key completely programmed

Good stuff!!

Thank you so much, have a vw2009
And dashboard read(IMMOBILIZER Active)
Idk what that meant

Gotta thank you for this! My wife just called and said she had a no stat and told me that the screen read immobilizer active. I punched it in, found you and deduced that my wife had accidently taken the keys for both our 2.0T and VR-6 Passats. She was using the wrong fob. Because of your video I did not have to go out and get her.

Can you email me a picture of your fuse and relay diagram plz? My friend switched some relays around in my damn car now It won't start smh

Hey Josh please get back to me with a reply I just bought a 06 vw, almost spun out on the highway. After i Gained control, my electric brake malfunction sign came on and and says airbag malfunction and also it just out of no where started a "exceed limit 20 mpg" now I can't drive over 20

Amazing! Fixed me up QUICK!

Thank you so much!!!!

PLEASE READ AND HELP ME!
This is an actual copy and paste from my messeages today from Volkswagen. I took car in running fine always would have to do the trick to halfway put key in to start car because I kept getting Immobilizer active! My car would start every time tho! I got tired of hassle took it in the lady tell me to get new key fob. I pay for it a week ago went in today just to tell me they cant reprogram it and now my car is STUCK there!!! I told them the car came in running get it back running idc! They insist I get this stuff done full price! On top of shitty customer service! Pushing my programming date back just to do other job they literally treated me like shit!! I feel lost and hopeless with this huge bill and only thing they saidnthey can do is pay the towing and I STILL HAVE TO PAY 82 for programming it. Now I have a car that doesnt start that was running perfectly fine. Btw I took it in for a diagnostics last month cuz of engine problems I fixed and nothing about steering column comin up. I'll glady pay what needs to be done to get fix but the disrespect and unwillingness to understand my side of I didnt have to take this here!!!! They made it seem like they have no wrong in this!
THEY TOLD ME TO BUY KEY TO FIX PROBLEM! I call bs on these people and something needs to be done. ANYBODY with resources or any solutions please let me know!
So, the car is going to need the steering column lock replaced, then the key programmed to the vehicle--$929.00 total part, labor and tax. There is a possibility it may need the comfort module. We just had a vehicle in that needed lock, then needed the module. We won't know until we put the column lock in first. If it needs the module, it is an additional-$977.00 total parts, labor and tax. I do have to order the part. Please let me know how you want to proceed. Thank you and sorry it turned out like this...Anne
