I should imagine the insurance companies are busy working out the risk now... and if there isn't a move by VAG then likely as not they will be declining to insure vehicles for theft...

Having worked in insurance, I can tell you that they don't provide cover for your convenience, its all about their profit - profit which will evaporate once the nations scum realise how rich the pickings are.

Don't panic - An article in Mail Online yesterday said that Mk7 Golfs and new Passat's were not affected by this as they have since upgraded / changed the system - hopefully a lesson learned from their 2012 findings!
