If your VW key fob suddenly stops locking and unlocking the doors, don't rush to buy a new remote or pay for reprogramming — most of the time the fob just needs to be re-synced to the car.
The procedure is surprisingly simple: remove the emergency key cover on the driver's door handle, manually unlock the door with the hidden key blade while pressing unlock on the fob, then start the car. We walk through each step so you can do it in your driveway in under two minutes.
