Keys
Volkswagen car keys, or fobs, are equipped with an encoded transponder that sends an email to the vehicle that matches an unique code that is stored in the ignition. Through an onboard process the vehicle will then be able to use this information to authorize the key and begin the engine. This is a more complicated procedure than simply inserting the key into a lock. However, it is necessary to make sure that the new key is compatible with the vehicle.

Transponders
Transponders are an integral part of all modern automobile keys. They also prevent car theft by making it difficult to wire your vehicle hot. They have a microchip inside that looks like a glass tic-tac. When you put the key in your ignition, it sends an identification code to a reader coil inside the receiver unit of your vehicle. If the code matches the original key, the car will begin.
The chips broadcast unique signals within a particular frequency range, meaning they're difficult to duplicate. They can also be used to transfer information from satellites to other devices aboard the spacecraft. They are utilized by air traffic control in order to communicate between planes and to provide information on the location and altitude of an aircraft.

Remotes
When it comes to key fobs, Volkswagen has set the standard with new technology. Their iconic switchblade type key was used to open their car, arm an alarm, and start the engine with a push of one button. The design is still very popular on a few SUVs and pickups.
Volkswagen developed their technology further in the early 2000s, which resulted in smart keys that do not require ignition insertion. The remote unlocking systems are similar to your cell phone. They let you lock and unlock your doors remotely, as well as start your car remotely at the push of a single button.
Since 1999 the key fob of most Volkswagen models comes with an immobilizer. The immobilizer is embedded into the RFID chip that is located on the backside of your key. You can reuse the RFID chip on an old key if you already have one. This means you do not have to take your VW to the dealer to purchase a brand new key.
To recycle your old keys, remove the key ring and cut it in half. Acetone is a method to remove the RFID chip. Then, you can reuse the key ring loop, and then put it on the new key. The local dealer will have to program the immobilizer.
