Volkswagen car keys, also known as fobs, are equipped with an encoded transponder that transmits an alert to the vehicle with an individual code inside the ignition.

They can also be used to transmit data from satellites to other equipment on the spacecraft. Air traffic control uses these in planes to communicate with each other and also provide information about an airplane's location and altitude.

Remotes
Volkswagen has been at the forefront of key fob technology. Their iconic switchblade type key let owners unlock their vehicle, activate an alarm and turn on the engine with a push of one button. The design is frequent on certain SUVs as well as pickups.
In the beginning of 2000, Volkswagen developed their technology further to smart keys that don't require ignition. These remote unlocking systems are similar to your mobile phone. They let you lock and unlock your doors remotely, as well as start your vehicle remotely with the press of a single button.
Since 1999, the key fob of the majority of Volkswagen models has an immobilizer. The immobilizer is part of the RFID chip that is situated on the back of the key. It is possible to reuse the RFID chip from an old key (if you have it) and therefore it's not necessary to bring your VW into the dealership for a new key.
To recycle your old key, take it off of the ring loop and split it in half. Then, you can utilize acetone for the removal of the RFID chip. You can then reuse the key ring loop, and then put it on the new key. It's still required to be programmed by your local dealer for the immobilizer.
