How to Sync Your VW Key

In this video I go over what to do if you changed the battery on a Gen 1 VW key fob or it just isn't recognized all of a sudden by your car. It will work for any VW gen 1 key fob not just the Toureg that is used in this video. Hopefully this saves you a unnecessary trip to your dealer and a couple bucks in your pocket.

Awesome. Just done this to syn my key on a 2015 Amarok VW TDI Ute in NZ. Thank goodness for guys like u who share such useful information for free.❤❤

[@anniehall8301]

[@drsbi1]

Great, thanks a lot. The other method with a second key in a door didn't work for me , but this one surely did🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much, was doing brake work and car ran perfectly fine all day, until I lowered the car and tried to move it and the car started then shut off suddenly. Your video helped me resync my key and start it up again. You’ve earned a like and sub my dude 👍

Thank you! It works!

[@TroyFujiwara-hn5pf]

it does work on my 1998 volkswagen passat 1.8 Turbo B5, got me almost lot of trouble like the car got thowed back home after I just change the headlight bulb. This Car is so sensitive removing any socket on this car like headlight socket or any other socket, or changing the battery or flat battery will trigger the immobilizer you just start then dies right after, This re sync on keyfob will do the trick

How does it work for a VW where you can’t put a key in and it’s fob only? E.g. Atlas
