It all starts with this sm. . . Your Volkswagen Key Volkswagen key overview: Volkswagen manufactured most all of its models with a 1 key system. The exceptions are: (1) 1967 and older with steering column lock (2) glove box (3) shifter lock Starting in 1983 the glove box key may match the whole car key in the Rabbit, Golf, Jetta, Quantum, Corrado, Cabrio, Cabriolet. 1985 and newer Volkswagens have a valet feature. This key is cut the way the main keys are cut but the blank is not the same. If your car has profile AH, your valet key is VB or AN. 1999 and newer with the sidewinder key the main key blank is HAA and the Valet is NAA . Many Volkswagen keys look similar. The tendency is to judge the application of the key by the shape or style of the head. This is not correct. There are many different keys with the same head. You must compare the grooves. The grooves are referred to as the profile (keyway). Many profiles are mirror images of themselves. Example su/sv k/m l/r e/h. Instead of designing a new profile, Volkswagen would just reverse the engineering. The key cuts are determined by a code. If you have an original VW emblem key the code number is on the key. If you have a generic copy the code can be found on locks and handles from 1949 to 1999. The letter in the code determines the profile (keyway). The 1992 to 1999 cars may not have codes on the handles. The vehicle identification number (vin) has nothing to do with the lock code on older models. VIN based key codes only apply to 1999 1/2 and newer Volkswagens. (98 up New Beetle & Passat) Only the delivering dealer would have recorded the code. Water cooled engine Volkswagen keys that are cut the same on both sides Convertible Rabbit "cabriolet" (golf) 1980 to 1993 is a mk1 vehicle but.... from 1980 to 1984 is uses the VB keyway (mk1) then from 1985 to 1987 it uses the HV keyway (mk2) then from 1988 to 1993 it uses the AH keyway (mk3) Scirocco is a mk1 vehicle from 1974 to 1984 is uses the VB keyway (mk1) then from 1985 to 1987 it uses the HV keyway (mk2) then from 1988 to 1990 it uses the AH keyway (mk3) Volkswagen contracted with lock manufacturers to make the locks. Some locks are Volkswagen. Others are AKS, WTO, Neiman, Huff, Hella, Ellen to mention the majority. Those original keys may bear their mark. Those marks are not codes. Mark 1  Service .   KEY CUTTING PRICES 1949 to 1999 keys are cut to code, not copied, this insures that the spacing is correct and the key is back to its original form and look. This is a standard service to cut rather than copy. We can send you a key made from code with a copy, stencil, or photo copy of the key we are duplicating. If you do not have a key for the lock or have lost it, there is a one time code-cut charge of $15 + price of a generic key to make a key for a lock that does not have a key. This key becomes your spare, or you can make more copies from it. The code from a handle or lock cylinder is needed to make the key. Codes are located in various places, Door handles have them on the mounting ear. You must remove the handle from the door. This is done from the outside with the door open. See pictures near the bottom of this page for locations on the locks. email us with your make year and type of VW for the location of the code(s). If your browser does not support an email account, the address is, mark1vws@netzero.net Numbers like 111 837 205 D are not a code, it is the part number of the handle.
