Volkswagen 4 Buttons Remote Case/Shell/Blank/Enclosure For Passat/Jetta

A remote shell is the outer casing of a car key. It does not include internal electronic components, a transponder chip, or a battery.

No, this is just the shell. You must transfer the internal components from your original key into this new shell.

No, since this is only a shell, no programming is required. Just swap your existing electronics and transponder chip into the new case.

This shell is only a replacement for worn-out or broken casings. If your internal components are damaged, you may need a complete replacement key, which requires programming.

If the shell contains an uncut key blade, a locksmith will need to cut it to match your original key. If the blade is removable and replaceable, you can simply transfer your existing blade without cutting.

Please note: some remote blades cannot be replaced due to manufacturer copyright or design restrictions. Aftermarket key shells with slight design changes may prevent genuine blades from fitting correctly — if that happens you’ll need to have a new blade duplicated by a locksmith.

Compare the shape, button layout, and key blade (if included) with your original key. If they match, this shell should fit your existing components.
