jim ellis vw is fuckin sheisters, i can walk 200 feet from my shop to there. when my boss took his auction car 02 cabrio over there to get another key coded they tried to run game on him and said it'd take a couple hours to do, he sat there and walked around to the car after 15 minutes and the key and the spare remote that he got for it were both programmed. all in all they're not honest at all. off memory the key's like $36 our cost and .5 hr labor to program it for the vehicle. they were trying to sell him a lock cylinder and all that shit. ANYWHO

i would recommend get a new key and have it coded, meaning the car's gotta be there.
