It shows the basic functions of KESSY (keyless entry and ignition) as well as a handy way to unlock your doors if you ever need to. On the S model, you wouldn't have to worry about putting your hand through the door handle to unlock or putting the actual FOB against the steering column to start if the FOB battery is dead.
Volkswagen's key fobs are available in two different styles. The first style is a key and a key fob remote. The second is a key integrated key fob remote. Both remotes allow you to unlock, lock and open your Volkswagen's trunk by simply pressing a button on your key fob. Programming the key fob for both types of remotes is the same and should only take you a few minutes.
Step 1
Step 2
Turn the key forward until it clicks one time, but do not start the engine.
Step 3
Stand outside of your Volkswagen and shut all of the doors.
Step 4
Lock the driver's side door using the second key. Insert the key into the key lock and manually lock the door. Do not use a key fob. Leave the key in the door lock.
Step 5
Press the 'Open' or 'Unlock' button on the key fob you are programming. You will hear the horn honk one time and the doors will unlock. Repeat this step to program an additional remote. If you are programming three remotes, the third remote will require you to press the 'Unlock' button two times, and for a forth remote, press the 'Unlock' button three times.
Remove the key from the ignition and the door lock to end the programming mode.
Warning
- You may need to reprogram all key fobs when you reprogram a single key fob.
Items you will need
- 2 cut keys (programmed key fob not required)

I'm a dog owner with a new 2015 GTI which I absolutely love. However, one thing that's really irritating me is the (apparent) inability to leave my dog in the locked car with the engine and AC running, e.g. for a quick trip into the convenience store.
It seems like VW did everything they could to prevent it: there's no keypad access (my absolute favorite feature on the previous car), and the remote entry fob is integrated into the key (no KESSY here), so I can't take that with me, either.
Short of buying another fob, removing the ignition key, and leaving it in the car, is there any way to accomplish this?
