    The ebay ones are a waste of time.

    It's not a key so a locksmith wouldn't do them it's a fob with 3buttons which you insert into dash.

    Would be worth getting a quote if autokey.ie i think they sell them keys for passats they code them too. They save me a lot on my last key compared to the main dealer and they still supply genuine keys not like most of the rubbish ebay ones.

    I got one last month from Main dealer costing €245 excluding the emergency blade.
    It's a main dealer only job as the key has to be coded to the cars ecu.

    I called a few locksmiths and they could not do it....

    Can you post a key to autokey or do you have to hand it in person?

    I wouldn't be too sure but they generally need the car there in order to code the key. When I got a key cut for my focus the guy plugged a computer into the car and coded it then. Worth ringing and asking them.

    Well I'd say auto key would need the key and the car as the main dealer needs both! I'm going to ring them tomorrow see the price.
