2011-2016 Volkswagen 4B Trunk Flip Key NBG010180T

I almost went with a seller on eBay who had the lowest priced OEM keys I could find, but luckily I stumbled across this site. These guys had the OEM key I needed for my 2012 Volkswagen Jetta at about half the price ($25 at time of purchase). The most difficult part of going this route and buying your own key is finding a locksmith that both has the tools and the expertise needed to cut and program newer Volkswagen keys. I first took this key to a highly rated local locksmith company who advertised the ability to cut and program Volkswagen keys (although they had no reviews from anyone specifically stating they’d successfully had a VW key duplicated by them). After an improper cut of my key blade, I was stuck waiting a few days for them to order in some replacement blades. Upon returning, they were still unable to properly cut the key. They sent me off with a new blade (that ended up being too short) and I luckily found another local shop that had actual experience with VW keys who were able to get me a proper blade and correctly cut and program the key/immobilizer for all functions of the key to work the same as my original. Overall, it was a bit of a hassle (due only as a result of the first locksmith) over just paying the dealer the ~$330 (quoted $165 for pre-cut key and $165 for programming), but all in all I got a duplicate key made for half the price the dealer quoted ($140 for cut/programming and $29 for the key (after shipping)). I’m glad to finally have a spare key for my VW. I highly recommend YourCarKeyGuys for their incredibly low pricing and will definitely use them for my car key needs in the future.
