You should be able to program "clean" keys with Vag Com. However, there's a chance that you cannot reprogram a key that has already been programmed before. I recall trying to do something similar without success. You should give it a try though.

No you should not give it a try. Vcds does not program or prepare the dealer key. It will only reprogram a key previously programmed to the same car.

I can supply or program a new key though if you'd like to PM your details.

It would depend on the model year too

after 2006 you wouldn't be able to

it also depends what you call a fair price

I added a key to my 2012 car for £26 in total, is a locksmith going to charge that? No, they won't as they are offering a service which needs to make a profit.

VW Charge nearly £200 so if an independent locksmith charges £100 it is cheaper and makes the VW price look like a rip off.
Is it a rip off... no because they have larger overheads and the price is set by VW who will take a cut too

The day it goes wrong using ripped off tools with no support I will laugh at you and charge double to fix it. I've repaired at least 4 cars in the last 2 months because people like you know best . It's ok to risk on your own car, just don't advise other people to do the same.

I paid an independent a reasonable price (under £100) to reprogramme my key.

I suggest you make you own mind up, but consider the following:
15 posts, and already hurling abuse.
Or
Thousands of posts, and universally positive feedback.

I don't know either of the above members, but I know who I'd trust.

I have no problem with people offering a service, if i didnt feel confident to do i myself then id happly pay someone £80 to come out and do it as it is alot less than the dealers, what i do have a problem with it you giving bad information to people to try and scare them into paying you.
