    Blank - Surf Key

    Does anybody know where I can get a 2nd key cut for the Tiguan or a blank key that I can then get cut?
    I don't need the electronic bits just something to open the door that I can take surfing.

    Thanks

    Ebay is your friend. Always lots of blank VW keys on it. Not sure where you'll get it cut though as its supposedly laser cut ....

    I don't think Tigs have a key hole to open the doors so it would be pointless...

    Our Touareg came with the 3rd plastic key, that open the doors. Check it with your dealer if it is available also for Tiguan. Otherwise try Automotive Locksmith.

    They don't come with one of those anymore unfortunately. I asked about it when I took delivery.

    There's quite a long winded discussion about this on the following surfing forum.

    Realsurf.com • View topic - Non-Transponder Surf Keys

    TrevG seems to have no problems getting them cut and he's Sunny Coast based so you could try PMing him for some more info if that helps.

    I personally just use one of these puppies.

    Hi
    I just recently purchased my Tiguan from Barloworld VW In Botany. At the time of purchase i enquired about a wet key and they had one made up for my
    vehichle. I'm not sure who they use to cut it for them and the price is around $30. Hope this helps you out.

    Just found out the other day the Tig key will split into 2. Just pull both ends and you end up with the electronic half separated from the key. You can then use this as a surf key if you need.
