The RFID chip and radio inside the remote were fine, so I ordered up a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00CVFYTU4\">replacement housing on Amazon<\/a>.  After following instructions on YouTube to carefully swap the internals, I found that the buttons on the new remote didn&#8217;t appear to lock\/unlock the vehicle, nor was the RFID being acknowledged by the vehicle.  Ironically, my backup master key\/remote would also no longer lock\/unlock the vehicle, so I figured something else was going on.<\/p>\n<p>As recommended by VW, I reset the non-working remote by following page 31 of the manual.  For those that don&#8217;t have it handy:<\/p>\n<p>1. Press either the lock or unlock button on the non-working remote one time for one second.<br \/>\n2. Lock or unlock the vehicle with the master key (non-working remote).<\/p>\n<p>The non-working remote should now be able to lock\/unlock doors!  Repeat as necessary for additional non-working remotes.  I also started the vehicle and the RFID appeared to be acknowledged, as it was no longer tripping the vehicle&#8217;s security system as indicated by the dashboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The key to my 2001 New Beetle broke off the remote housing a couple days ago.
