Volkswagen has been at the forefront of key fob technology. Their iconic switchblade-type key was used to open their car, set off an alarm and start the engine with a push of one button. This design is widespread on many SUVs and pickups.

To recycle your old keys take the key ring off and cut it in half. You can then use acetone to remove the RFID chip. Then, you can reuse the key ring loop, and then put it on another key. Your local dealer will still need to program the immobilizer.
