Replacement of Remote Key Cover

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Key

It is very easy to purchase a new cover for the remote key online. You will receive a new remote key with a blank metal part (which may need to be cut) and without an electronic circuit inside. You will need to attach the original metal key to the new support, transferring both the immobiliser transponder and the electronic circuit into the shells. First, separate the remote part from the original key support, open the key support shells to retrieve the metal blade and the transponder, taking care not to damage them. Next, open the remote shells to extract the circuit and proceed in reverse order to assemble the new remote control, securing the transponder with a drop of glue and correctly preloading the key spring.
