The solution if one Magotan car key is lost is: 1. Replace all the car locks; 2. Use the spare key to unlock the car. Taking the 2020 Comfort Magotan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2871mm, and fuel tank capacity 66l. The front suspension of the 2020 Comfort Magotan is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4l turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150ps, maximum power of 110kw, maximum torque of 250nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Last time I lost my Magotan key and panicked, so I quickly took out the spare key to drive straight to the Volkswagen 4S store. The staff helped me get a new smart key and reprogrammed the anti-theft system, so the old key was deactivated, preventing anyone from driving the car away. The whole process took about two hours and cost a few hundred yuan. The key point is to handle it as soon as possible—don’t delay—to avoid security risks. I usually recommend keeping a spare key set in the car or storing the dealership’s contact info just in case. Safe driving is the top priority; don’t skimp on this expense, or you might end up in trouble if someone steals and drives your car.

As a car enthusiast, I suggest not messing around if you lose your Magotan key—the smart system is too complex. Immediately use the spare key and head to a professional locksmith shop or Volkswagen service station. They'll need to connect to a computer to reconfigure the key code and electronic anti-theft module, ensuring the old key is deactivated. This process is more complicated than copying a regular key and may cost anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand, but it ensures the vehicle's security system remains intact. By the way, modern car keys all come with chips—if you lose one, you'll need a full reprogramming. Avoid buying replacements online randomly, as it's unsafe. Act quickly to save time and hassle.

With kids at home, losing car keys is a real safety concern. The first step is to use the spare key to stabilize the situation, then contact Volkswagen customer service or arrange for on-site repair. Technicians will test the electronic locks and ignition system, programming a new key to deactivate the old one. Develop a habit of keeping an extra key in a secure place at home—don't carry all keys with you. Safe driving is non-negotiable; continuing to drive with lost keys poses significant risks, especially for daily school runs.
