Found this video in 2022 while looking for instructions on how to replace the keyfob internals for my granddaughter's 2010 Jetta. Good work! I appreciate the time and effort you've spent on making this video!
Thank you so much for saving us a car tow for something so stupid- we replace my daughters keys and couldn’t understand why the engine turned on and then off, everything else worked. Then we saw on your video on the transponder (tiny little thing) and went back and added that on the new key fob. Who would’ve thought. Now it works!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you again so much.
The metal ring on my keychain broke, so I ordered a new empty key case and used this video to replace the top half with the ring. It worked perfect! Thanks so much for posting this!
@Jason Not at all...I kept my original top half (with the transponder), so nothing had to be changed there. The bottom half with the key ring loop was just a matter of swapping out the guts from my old case to the new case (as the video demonstrates). And then just put the two together and you are done! The metal key, transponder, circuit board and battery all stayed the same so nothing to program. This video shows a new top half but I didn't need to do that part.
By chance I found this tutorial, ordered a key fob with the cutting service. The tutorial is on point although it doesn't show heating up the glue holding the transponder. I used a hair dryer for about a minute and had no issues taking the transponder out. I got my key in about 4 days and it worked perfectly. I will definitely be using this service again!
I have a question. So you ordered a new key fob, using same cut key and guts, ( including the chip that looks like a small pill) , swapping to the new fob and worked? No need to reprogram? Please let me know when you can. Thanks
One note I'd like to add from my own experience with this job - If when you are done and the key arm seems too stiff or doesn't open easily when you press the release button, simply loosen the small screw where the emblem is placed before you place it. Give that screw a counter-clockwise turn or two and open the key. If it still feels too tight or hindered, give another turn or two to open the housing and test until the key switch feels right for you. Originally I made the mistake of over-tightening the spring, thinking that this was the issue hindering the key arm opening quickly and easily the first time I did this transplant. I hope this helps others. Otherwise this video is excellent and super comprehensive.
Thank you SO much for this video! I bought a 2004 VW New Beetle Convertible for myself on my fiftieth birthday in August of 2003. It is still performing like a champ! The automatic key fob has been working sporadically for 2 or 3 years now and just recently completely bit the dust! I didn't even realize it was battery operated. (A little slow on the uptake at this advanced age) Then a few weeks ago it occurred to me that it WAS battery operated! Out of the blue. I'd been looking at it trying to figure out how to get the thing apart, so this morning I googled how to change battery in car key. I found you after watching a few on newer car keys. I did exactly as you said and got mine open a lot easier than you got yours open! (I did set off the car alarm) Remember life before youtube? Probably not! As you age and see all the new advances in technology, it is just THRILLING! We have access to information on any subject that one can dream up. Thank you FasterAutoKeys for helping an old lady out!
For those wondering, yes hot glue can hold the chip in. ive had it holding my chip in place for god knows how long now, and i have had no problems, just make sure to not melt the shell doing it
12:30 onwards. It’s not always the case that you can transfer your original key. Or put the old blade into the new key. When you remove the pin holding the old blade in the old key. And there is no guarantee that the old blade will fit into the slot of the new key. As they do differ.
Hello, yes if the original blade is the thicker type the edge will need to be sanded to fit in the new shoulder. This is why we offer and recommend ordering with a laser cutting service included.
Something to note, a very safe way to remove the top transponder chip can be done with nail polish remover. With the chip exposed, apply nail polish remover and this will break the glue's bond from the chip with the case. From there, it is easy to remove the chip without using heat or risking a chance of breaking this glass chip. If you are not comfortable, DO NOT try removing the glass chip. The safest way is to apply acetone (or nail polish remover) to remove the glue's bond so it easily comes off. Do not attempt to remove the chip without heat or it can break. If you break the transponder chip you're out at least $150
Is your product an exact match of the OEM? I'm asking because I only want to change the bottom part (with the buttons) so I don't have to mess with the chip. I bought a shell from someone else and they are not an exact match.
Hello, yes it will snap in place and there isn't an ugly gap like some other aftermarket key suppliers. Thanks again, and let us know if you have any additional questions!
Help! I ordered a new key from you and switched it over based on your video (2000 VW Golf). Now it won't work in my car at all-- it seems like it triggered some kind of tamperproofing lockdown. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you!
Hello, it sounds like the transponder chip hasn't been installed in the new key from the old key. Check out the second half of the video showing the process.
Tried the new uncut key using the old cut key section in the ignition. Car shuts off and shows SAFE in the cluster. Is the key required to be cut and used as a complete assembly in order for engine to stay running?
Hello, if you continue watching the video the transponder chip on the top end of the old key needs to be put in the new key. This will resolve the issue.
Literally I open the control and I found a super small drop off water on it I just cleaned it and took some dust and put it back and it worked I didn’t have to buy nothing new
Can the upgrade be done with the older style Bentley key (2004-2005) internal to be install on the newer style Bentley key (2006+) without the reprogramming?
Hello, we don't have personal experience but the process appears the same with the Bentley key. It will likely share the same key shell as the VW Touareg, it doesn't separate from the top and bottom.
What do you recommend doing when the transponder key end Philips head is stripped (my fault)? Is it pretty safe just brute force prying the case apart?
Most of the VW keys that share the Audi key design tend to have the ID48 transponder chip. We have found the Audi styled keys that do not have a trunk button tend to have the other transponder variant. The only exception is the Eurovan, the US spec Eurovan has the 2001+ key design and it uses an ID44 transponder.
can anyone that tried this verify that the buttons on the new fob work after switching everything over?? i have a 2000 new beetle with one key, the key i got when i bought the car was in pieces and became unusable shortly after. i put the chip from my NB key into an old spare vw transporter key fob i had laying around, it's a different style fob from the new beetle one, the key works on my car but the buttons on the fob don't work. i'm not sure if i just need to sync the fob to my car and therefore need a second key or if it doesn't work because its the wrong style fob. if anyone knows anything about this that would be super helpful 🙏 i'm not even sure what to google to help me out loll
Hello, yes sometimes when the battery is removed the key needs to be programmed again. It isn't common but it can be done yourself without any tools, there are other videos showing the programming process. Although they might look the same, the key from another VW might have a different part number from the Beetle and not program.

@@davidcisneros8886 that is correct. Remove the chip and transponder (the pill) put them in the newly cut key fob and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for your help.
BTW, what did you use to remove the pill sensor? It looks very sensitive.
@@davidcisneros8886 I blasted it with a hair dryer for about 2-3 minutes, then very carefully used a pick and it popped right out.

Hello, thanks for the comment and letting us help with this video. It's interesting to hear the battery worked well over 10 years.
Awesome review. I love seeing how things advance and help people out
One of the best tutorials I've seen, well done
For those wondering, yes hot glue can hold the chip in. ive had it holding my chip in place for god knows how long now, and i have had no problems, just make sure to not melt the shell doing it
thank you for sharing this video..my heart stopped when you pull the chip with the screwdriver lol
Very useful. Thanks for taking the time and effort.
Perfect guide. Should have watched before struggling for an hour
It took less than 10 minutes! Thank you🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻
I’m swapping fobs for the sole purpose of having a brand new looking VW logo. How do I access the chip without destroying the vw logo ?
This video was great it was very detailed and it help me alot. everything works great. I replace this on a 2005 Jetta.
Thank you! This was very help full!

Hi I've replied battery and led but the remote still doesn't work. Can I replace transmitter?

Try reprogramming the remote. It can be done yourself without any tools

Great! Thanks a lot
What's the cost of a new kew
swapping 2000 passat key fob shelland one issue the new shell has 1 cr2032 and the transfering circuit has 2cr1620 batteries
Contact your seller about this, the seller should know the older 1998-2000 VW styled key uses 2x CR1616 batteries.
How much is the cutting service
Can the upgrade be done with the older style Bentley key (2004-2005) internal to be install on the newer style Bentley key (2006+) without the reprogramming?
Hello, we don't have personal experience but the process appears the same with the Bentley key. It will likely share the same key shell as the VW Touareg, it doesn't separate from the top and bottom.
Thank you! This helped a lot
Thank you very much for guide video
What do you recommend doing when the transponder key end Philips head is stripped (my fault)? Is it pretty safe just brute force prying the case apart?
Hello and yes, slightly turn the blade so there's an opening at the top. Try to pry the ends apart, it shouldn't damage the transponder.
Helped a lot . Thanks !!!!
nice videos thans so much. and how to clone VW polo 2013 key and remote ?
Hello, thanks for the vid. Do you know if early B5 Passats (98/99/00) with the IMMO2 use the T42/LD48 chip inside the key?? thanks!

Can you use regular white Elmer’s glue?
We haven't tried it but it should work, if the vehicle doesn't start it's likely too thick
Thanks, helped me a lot:)
Thank you very much
Amazing, Thank you very much!
Fantastic 😊
Does it come with a new logo for the back of the key
We don't because the VW emblem is a copyrighted trademark. It has however a slot to fit an emblem from the old key or a new VW emblem.
