Key not found after starting car

Expensive? From VW I'd say yes. Maybe $1k?
Then labor to replace it, it's the immobilizer so would need to be programmed.
Or you can get one from a wreck or ebay, and if you know how to read and write eeproms (or know someone who can) you can just copy the data over from your existing one to the new one using a free tool from dunt.at

Ouch. I'm assuming the labour isn't too bad to access it?

I'll speak to the auto elec that provided my replacement key. I assume he could do all that as well.

For the time being, I may just ride this one out and see whether it improves for now.

Appreciate your advice!

Yeah access is pretty easy.
Just behind the glovebox.
Auto elec should be able to read the eeprom.
Have them get in touch if they aren't familiar with this particular swap.

Thanks! I'll provide any updates on how things progress.
