How many styles of Volkswagen car keys are there?
2 Answers
There are two styles of Volkswagen car keys. Here are the specific functions of the keys: Close windows after turning off the engine: Press and hold the lock button on the remote key to close the windows. This function may also be available on ordinary family cars. Parking lot car search: Some car keys have a dedicated car search button, while some vehicles will emit a honking sound to indicate their location when the lock button is pressed twice in a row, making it easier to quickly find the car in crowded parking areas. Automatic trunk opening: Many models have a trunk opening button on the remote key. Press and hold the trunk unlock button, and the trunk will open automatically. Keyless entry: You need to carry the car key. When the key is close to the car, it will automatically match the car's decoder. Press the unlock button on the car door handle to unlock the car.
As a Volkswagen enthusiast, I'm particularly passionate about car key designs! Volkswagen car keys have evolved into several mainstream styles. From the simplest old-fashioned mechanical key, which is just a metal insert key, suitable for classic models like the Beetle; to the foldable key, with buttons to control locking and unlocking, used in models like the Golf; then to the smart key, which allows keyless entry and ignition, seen in newer models like the Magotan; and now the new trend like the ID series, even featuring digital keys controlled via a mobile app, eliminating the need for a physical key. In total, there are roughly four or five types. Each has its charm—older models are durable but inconvenient, while newer ones are convenient but drain batteries quickly, requiring regular checks. It's advisable to keep a spare key to avoid sudden malfunctions. Replacing a key isn't cheap either, with original ones costing hundreds to thousands of yuan, but it's worth it.
