Volkswagen Car Key Replacement & Programming in Windsor & Essex County
🔑 Fast, Mobile Volkswagen Key Replacement in Windsor
Lost your Volkswagen key or Smart Key fob? Skip the dealer delay and high costs — Canadian Locksmiths offers fast, professional mobile Volkswagen key replacement and programming across Windsor and Essex County.
Since 1989, we’ve specialized in European vehicle security systems, delivering dealer-level key programming onsite.
Our technicians are trained and certified to use ODIS (Offboard Diagnostic Information System) — the official VW software for key coding, immobilizer pairing, and module synchronization.
💰 Save up to 50% compared to dealership pricing, with all work performed by certified, bonded and insured technicians using factory-grade diagnostic and key programming tools.
🧰 Volkswagen Key Types We Replace or Program
Proximity Smart Keys (KESSY System, 2013–Present)
Modern VW models — Golf, Jetta, Tiguan, Atlas, Passat — use encrypted KESSY (Keyless Entry/Start) Smart Keys integrated with the immobilizer and BCM2 system.
Common Smart Key Issues
-
“Key Not Detected” or “Key Not Authorized”
-
Push-button start not responding
-
Keyless entry failure or weak fob signal
-
Lost or stolen Smart Keys
We program new VW Smart Keys onsite using ODIS to register the key through the vehicle’s immobilizer, ensuring full comfort access, lock/unlock, and start functionality.
Transponder Keys (2000–2012)
Older VW models like Jetta, Golf, Beetle, and Passat use transponder keys linked to Immobilizer II, III, or IV systems.
Typical Problems
-
“SAFE” warning on dashboard
-
Engine cranks but won’t start
-
Immobilizer light flashing
-
Lost or damaged keys
We cut and program new transponder keys using EEPROM and immobilizer reprogramming when all keys are lost, restoring your vehicle’s start authorization without module replacement.
Flip & Remote Keys
Volkswagen’s iconic flip-style keys remain common in many models.
We repair damaged housings, replace worn buttons, or program brand-new flip remotes onsite to restore factory function.
Laser-Cut / High-Security Keys
Select VW models like the Arteon and Touareg use high-security sidewinder (laser-cut) keys.
We provide precise laser key cutting using advanced milling machines for OEM-grade accuracy and smooth ignition fit.
⚙️ Volkswagen Immobilizer Systems We Service
Immobilizer II / III (2000–2008)
Used in early Golf, Jetta, and Passat models.
We can extract EEPROM data directly from the instrument cluster or ECU to create new keys when originals are lost.
Immobilizer IV / V (2009–Present)
Found in MQB-platform vehicles such as the Golf MK7, Tiguan, Passat, and Atlas.
These systems use encrypted Smart Keys linked to the BCM2 or Gateway module.
We safely adapt new keys and restore synchronization using ODIS, just like the dealership — but faster and onsite.
KESSY System (Push-to-Start / Comfort Access)
KESSY manages proximity key detection and push-start authorization.
We diagnose and repair key detection failures, reprogram new fobs, and reset the immobilizer when modules lose synchronization after battery or power issues.
🧠 Advanced Volkswagen Programming Expertise
Factory ODIS Diagnostic Programming
Our ODIS software gives us the same diagnostic and key adaptation access as VW dealers.
We can:

-
Add or remove lost Smart Keys
-
Repair BCM2 / KESSY communication faults
-
Code new keys safely without cloning or data corruption
EEPROM-Level Key Generation (All Keys Lost)
If all keys are lost, we can extract immobilizer data from your ECU, BCM, or instrument cluster, generate new authorized keys, and re-sync all systems without replacing expensive modules.
⚠️ Common Volkswagen Key & Lock Problems We Solve

“Key Not Detected” / “Key Not Authorized” messages
-
Lost all keys or immobilizer locked
