VW Passat Key Fob Doesn't Work Fix
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- This morning I had an issue with my car key not opening the door and I was stuck and tried this method to make it work. Sometimes the battery connector gets dirty or needs a bit scrubbing off to make it work. In this video, I'll show you how you can open the key fob and change battery or clean the battery connectors to make it work!
Thank you man had key was not opening nothing no boot no doors, did what you said and now is working perfect. Top Man!!
Brilliant. Just happened to me. Watching this video outside the car because I can lock it, open the boot but not unlock the doors. Pried the fob open, removed battery, cleaned contacts, put back together, doors opened. Life saver. Thanks. 👍
I’m glad it helped you Harvey!
A simple fix that really worked, explaind clearly, Thank you so much for bothering to make your video. You saved me hundreds, I thought I was going to have to replace the key.👍
Thank you so much for appreciation
Thank you for getting me out of a bind yesterday. I was completely stuck until I saw your video
Dude, many thanks to you! You saved my brain cells.
This worked first time for me, thank you so much, saved me a heap of money as I was going to go to Volkswagen to get replacement key fobs!
Fabulous. Thank you. I didn't realise the fobs had a battery. Thought they charged off the car as some others do. You're a life saver. Also put a new battery in the second remote and it's working again. So went from no keys today to two keys. Thanks again.
I’m so glad it worked out for you!! Awesome 😎
I was just about to tear my tear apart assuming I had to solder a new button.. turned out battery just needed re installing. You’ve saved me a lot of work! Thanks
Thank you so much I fixed both our fobs having left it to my husband to get the first one fixed - his solution was to spend hundreds on a new one. The second fob failed I was on my own and your very clear instructions meant that both out fobs are working now. Thanks again!
You are welcome, I’m glad I could help!
Good man, swapped the battery but it still wouldn't open. Cleaned the terminals as suggested, worked first time. Cheers.
Life saver! Worked like a dream on two key fobs, thank you 🙏
You’re welcome ☺️
Thanks for the simple instructions! The exact same thing happened to me this morning. Managed to get the key out of the fob so I could get home and then follow your instructions and all fixed 😀
I can’t believe this actually worked. It seemed like one of those responses you get from the IT department at work, but it actually worked for me, my key wasn’t working at all and now it works. The range is still a shambles, but it actually locks now
Awesome 👏🏼
Thank you, it worked. I think this works because of keyfob restarting, rather than pins being dirty/oxidised. Mine were perfectly clean, anyway, this worked perfectly.
Thank you very much for this, exactly what I needed! 🙏🏻
wow cant believe this actually worked!! great instructions
Genius! Thank you so much. This happened to my key so I reverted to the spare. Then a few months later it happened to the spare also.
Your hack has worked for both keys and saved me a lot of hassle and potentially money! 🙏🏻😊
Amazing video. Probably saved $30-40 on car key service. The contacts did not even look dirty, but after cleaning them with alcohol, the unlock button started working again.
So it’s safe to clean it with an alcohol swab?
Thank you Very Much my son was stuck at school and he told me to send the video and yes it worked as a father for a son that did it himself..thank thank you.
Yesterday I was stuck freezing outside in a parking lot. Your video saved me! So helpful. Thanks a million!!
You’re welcome Steven!
you can get into the car without the button working. Below the driver's door handle, there is a small slot, with the plastic key that has a remote control you remove the plastic cover (insert the tip of the key in the slot and pull towards you so that the plastic cover pops out ) under this cover there is a lock that you can open with the plastic key that was inside the remote. An alarm would sound when opening the door. You get in, insert the command in the usual place to start the car, the alarm stops and you can continue your journey.
Thank u so much… it saved me and my family in sudden dark night when we stuck out of park!😊❤
I’m glad I could help!
You're a lifesaver friend, Thanks a million, it worked for me, thanks again
I just had that problem and just because of you I fix it. Thank you very much.
Thank you bro! This same thing just happened to me right now. I’ve watched your video and done the things explained , it worked as described perfectly. Thank you very much you saved an other life today. God bless
Thanks 🙏
Thank you very much I was stuck completely 😅.
May GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY.
Great video , easily explained the issue I was having , it’s a good job I won’t have to climb through the boot of my car again to open the door . People were looking at me like I was going to steal it !
Thanks man, I know how frustrating it is! I was stuck outside my GP and couldn’t get the key to work until I figured this out!!
Just climbed true the boot to get into the car right now. And then a guy said look on UA-cam I could have kicked myself well actually I did getting true the boot. But all fixed now and I know your pain fellow vw owner!!!!
Haha I was just trying to climb in through the boot only I couldn't get in because of the child seat in the back. Thankfully I found this video haha
Wow. I thought you were kidding. As if a simple clean was going to do the job! But blow me away. You were spot on! I tip my hat to you. Thank you very much my friend.
I know it sounds ridiculous but that’s all you gotta do to fix it and dealers will rip you off for this!
Many many thanks to this video woke up in the morning the car could not unlock. I followed these simple steps and all good happy😊.
Thanks to this video ,, and maker of this I got my key repaired
Thank you so much bro, i was Just stuck in the freezing cold in a low light area with no idea what to do. This video resolved the issue.
Great 😊
Can't believe how lucky I was to find this video . Was just about to pay 250euro for a new key. Your tip worked . Thank you . Great video
You’re welcome Lynn, glad I could help!!
Been messing round with my key fobs for weeks trying to sort this. Thanks so much for sharing
You just saved my ass after a 12 hour work shift, when trying to open my car to get home. Thank you sir 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I know this feeling!! Awesome!
Thanks so much for the video, just had this issue stuck in the middle of nowhere and now I’m back in the car.
Awesome 🥰
Thanks for saving me hundreds at the dealership. Such an easy solution for such a big worry! It was exactly my problem, The lock and trunk buttons work while the unlock is not. After penetrating the inside of the car from the trunk and opening the back seat handle (A trick that I learned from the "educational" movie "Nobody") I managed to open the back door. And on the other video Adnan says there is actually a hidden key slot !!! Thank you.
Thanks Alex 🙏
ah ah exactly what I did
Excellent. This fixed both my keys.
Thanks saved me from a lot of trouble. 👍👍
Adnan khan, u are a legend, your 2 min video helped me in a tight spot 👌
Thanks Asadullah
Thank you!
Following your instructions, helped me get the car unlocked again.
Awesome!
Thanks. Booked a appointment to the car mechanic, you saved me at least $450 with this method.
Awesome!
My guy!!! I love u!!! Straight to the point explained easy and it worked!!!
Thanks Ryan 👍🏼
Hi Adnan, Many thanks for putting this video up. It made changing the battery child's play! So beautifully explained and demonstrated. I always worry about breaking the fob when pulling it apart, but no such problems this time. Will subscribe and like. Thanks again mate!
Thanks ☺️
Brilliant video. Fixed my fob and saved me a trip to dealership
Awesome!!
I just have the same problem and this video helps me to fix it . Thanks a lot.
Thank you, solved the issue I've been having for a while (been using the fob to unlock the car via the key hole). Glad I decided to youtube it before taking the key to the manufacturer!
I’m glad it worked for you!
Thanks so much. Just followed your video to get me out of the trouble I was in. Sorted
Awesome
👏🙏 it happened to me yesterday. I took the bus home to take the spare, then I watched this video and it works. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the video!!! Only the unlock button on my remote was not working, and I thought it was the button that need to be replaced. Bought an offbrand remote on eBay and got a $300 quote for reprogramming it. Tried rubbing the battery connector, and it really worked out!
I’m glad it did!! I was quoted the same and I was pretty disappointed
Thank you, Sir for tutorial! It saved me a lot of money!!
You’re welcome 😉
Thank you for this video very clearly explained and helped me resolve the issue first time !
Thank you so much! I was stuck but your video was so easy to follow
Awesome
Brilliant - had exactly the same problem and this simple solution worked perfectly first time. Thanks Adnan!
No worries Andrew!! 👍🏼
I live in nigeria and came to d mall to get burger for my son and my key didn't work . Followed your video and was able to get into my car . God bless you.
Thank you and God bless you too bro!!

God bless you man! I thought I was in a big problem. Just gently tapped the contacs with my finger and worked like a charm. Thanks

Fantastic. It worked. Thank you for sharing this information.

This issue happened to me today. The fob worked when I opened my car to go to the supermarket. It worked when I was putting my groceries in my car. I just had to lock it again as I had to throw some rubbish so I walked to a garbage can and walked back to my car, and when I went back to my car ready to go home and that's it, It would not open. Google is my friend in these kinds of cases and luckily brought me to your video. Also, it was weird for me as I saw that I could lock or open the boot with the first and second buttons, but not to open my car. Anyway, I did what you showed on the video, and it worked. I had to do all of this while in the car park, dark and minus 0.. thanks
you can get into the car without the button working.

This surely just worked with me!
