Thanks for reaching out! I want to make sure you get the right key, so I need to flag something important: the key shown in your inquiry (JMA TP00HU-DHP2 / SKU KS-JMA-HU56) is actually a Volvo key shell, not Volkswagen. The blade profile (HU56) won't fit a VW ignition.
For your 2002 Volkswagen, you need a key with the HU66 blade and a Megamos ID48 transponder chip. You have two options depending on your situation:
Option 1: Key Shell Only (if you have a working key and want to reuse the chip)
- JMA HU66 VW Transponder Key Shell (part # HU-HAA.P1) or any other similar key shell
- You'll transfer the chip from your existing key into the new shell
Option 2: Complete Transponder Key (if you don't have a working key, or need a spare with a new chip)
- JMA HU66T6 VW Transponder Key — includes the Megamos ID48 chip
A couple of important things to know:
- The key needs to be cut to match your ignition. A local locksmith or dealer can do this using your VIN or your existing key as a pattern.
- The transponder chip must be programmed to your vehicle's immobilizer. This isn't something you can do at home with a 2002 VW — it requires specialized equipment, so you'll need a locksmith or VW dealer to handle the programming.
