Remotes
Volkswagen has been at the forefront of key fob technology. Their iconic switchblade-type key allowed owners to unlock their car, set off an alarm and turn on the engine at the touch of one button. It's a very common design that is still found on a few vehicles, including pickups and SUVs.

Remote unlocking systems function as a smartphone, allowing users to lock and unlock doors from a distance while being able to remotely start your car at the push of a button.
The majority of Volkswagen models since 1999 have an immobilizer built into the key fob. The immobilizer is incorporated into the RFID chip that is located on the back of the key.

To recycle your old key remove the keyring and cut it in half. Then, you can utilize acetone for the removal of the RFID chip. You can then reuse the key ring by putting it on a new key. Your local dealer will still need to program the immobilizer.
