Go to VW dealer, order new key, pick up key tomorrow
$20 and you won't have a shitty key 1/31/2012 2:31:30 PM |

Not sure about VW specifically, but it is generally cheaper to get the key and remote online, then take to dealer for cut & programming. My dealership even did it for free. 1/31/2012 3:41:54 PM |

the two places she's talked to told her they don't cut and program those keys
that's why I'm asking here 1/31/2012 4:05:28 PM |

VW lost a class-action lawsuit over those stupid keys. Maybe you can get paid.

In the meantime call an Ace Hardware. 1/31/2012 6:45:24 PM |

^ that's pretty rare...they're typically 30%-50% under dealer prices. 1/31/2012 9:44:43 PM |
