Replaced the plastic top on spare my key fob with a gti chrome top. Not sure if both should have had the chrome top from new?

Wonder if that means one is lost or 'floating' about somewhere? Bit worrying although had the car over 2 years and no incidents.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.

They are dealer fitted to the keys although supplied with the car in a plastic bag when new.
Mislaid by supplying dealer is my bet.
Do you have the key identification tag with the car?

Bought used and no tag from the dealer. Original dealer problem possibly as pre-reg car?

I think your safe from someone carrying around a random car key trying to unlock every 2013-2020 GTI they walk past on the odd chance they get a packet of half eaten sweets  :grin:

Fully open or just the tilt?

Fully, never just do tilt, it's either open or closed!

I'm the opposite tilt all year round rear snow or hail, rarely fully, mostly because a bird got my back seats before...
