My son locked the keys in his beetle. VW charges $100 for a valet key and must be ordered. Any ideas from the collective?

Also, unless the key is chipped, find a VW key blank on ebay and take it to True Value to be cut. If the key is chipped I am sure there are instructions in the manual or on the web for programming the car to accept the chip - just like you can do with remote fobs.

Zach I think you don't need the chip to open the door, you need it just to start the car. So a cheap copy of the key will open the door. |
