Looking for a quality replacement for a worn or damaged key housing for your Volkswagen? Our ignition key housing is the perfect solution to restore the appearance and functionality of your key fob. Made from durable materials, it precisely replicates the shape of the original housing and provides reliable protection for the electronic internals of your key.
Key Features and Compatibility
This housing is designed to replace the factory ignition key housing on the following Volkswagen models:
- Volkswagen Jetta (relevant generations)
- Volkswagen Golf (relevant generations)
- Volkswagen Passat B5 (generation from 1996 to 2005)
- Volkswagen Beetle (New Beetle)
- Volkswagen Polo (relevant generations)
The housing may also fit a range of Skoda and Seat models built on a shared platform. We recommend visually comparing the new housing with your old one before purchase.
What's Included?
In the kit, you receive a completely new housing with the Volkswagen logo already applied, looking identical to the original. Important: the kit includes only the mechanical part – the housing itself. Electronic components (immobilizer chip, button board, battery, key blade) from your old fob must be transferred to the new housing yourself.
Choosing a Version: 2 or 3 Buttons
We offer two versions of the housing so you can choose the one that fits your car's equipment:
| Key Parameter | Option AVW3.A | Option AVW3.B |
| Number of Buttons |
Two buttons |

| Selection Recommendation |
Carefully count the number of buttons on your current key and choose the identical option. |
Housing Replacement Process
Replacing the housing is a procedure many car owners perform themselves. Main steps:
- Carefully disassemble the old key housing, usually with a thin screwdriver, by prying open the latches.
- Remove the electronic unit (board) with buttons, the immobilizer chip (usually a glass capsule), and the metal key blade.
- Carefully place all these components into the corresponding slots in the new housing.
- Snap the two halves of the new housing together until you hear a click, ensuring a secure fit.
If you are unsure, we recommend contacting a car key repair specialist or a service center.
Visual Match and Quality
The new housing matches the original in appearance. The Volkswagen logo is applied clearly and with high quality. The housing material is strong enough to withstand daily use and has a pleasant feel.
