Have you bought a third key for your Volkswagen car, or has one of your keys broken and you purchased a replacement privately? Now you need to configure it? Here’s how to do it! Insert the key into the designated slot and turn it while switching on the ignition.

Leave it like this for at least five seconds, then start the engine and give it a few revs (gear in neutral and handbrake engaged).

Now switch off the car, remove the key, and insert it IN REVERSE compared to how you put it in previously, and repeat the entire procedure. If you were sold an "autokeysprotool" along with the key, the operation will have a higher chance of success.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
