Why is the key no longer detected in the Volkswagen Golf?
Years 2012-2019

Answer

In the event that the Volkswagen Golf remote control is no longer detected, it is very likely that the battery has run out. In this case we can carry out a quick test using the secondary key. If we are certain that the battery is charged, then the key itself may have failed. If, on the other hand, neither of the two keys seems to work, the problem could be with the car's ECU. In any case, a visit to the workshop will allow you to easily identify the problem.
