Review on πŸ”‘ Volkswagen Buttons Keyless Remote: Enhanced Convenience and Security Inside your Car by Dean Partybus

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not suitable for 2000 VW Beetle 2.0 GLS

This new remote control housing uses ONE CR 2032 button cell battery, while the original remote control in my 2000 Beetle uses TWO smaller CR 1620 button cells. CR 1620 is a smaller diameter and two of them were in the Tucked away in the battery compartment of my old key fob. CR 2032 is wider, when closing the key fob after transferring the chip to this new key fob, the 2032 cell gets in the way of the memory chip due to the larger diameter of the battery, and I could not close the new key fob by inserting the chip and one new battery. In short, this shell is not an exact replacement for the 2000 Beetle key fob shell. partially correct - the blade of the old key needs to be sharpened to fit a slightly narrower slot in the body of the new key fob.

Pros
  • Dope
Cons
  • Damaged
