Can A Passat Be Stolen?

Question

Can A Passat Be Stolen , Since The Only Way To Start The Car Is To Put The Key In And It Have A Chip Inside The Key ... right? Is There Any Other Way To Start It? Like HotWire?

Answer 1

Yes there are ways to start it without a key, but it is complicated.

Your biggest security is that there are much more desirable cars that can be stolen with the same amount of effort.

Answer 2

not without a key.

the real professional car thiefs probably can, but they would be more likely to steal a ferrari.

Answer 3

Simple answeris yes . ALL cars can be stolen.

You don't need to start a car to steal it

Answer 4

Anything can be stolen, As in towed away

If you mean can the engine be started without the key then yes but it is difficult.

You either need a VAGCOM diagnostic machine and the code for the car ( which can only be obtained from VW ) and then program a new key to work the immobiliser.

Or you need an engine ECU and a key which are already programmed together and fit them to the car. ( some cars now have the instrument cluster programmed too )

Easiest way is to steal the keys so do not leave them on the hall table in view of the letter box.

I always take all car keys to my bedroom at night !

Answer 5

Yes it can.........the way that it is done without the key is that they can use a rollback tow truck and lift the vehicle up from the rear and pull it onto the rollback and this is done all the time both for stealing and for repo's.

You can prevent this back not parking the vehicle in forward and always use the handbrake.
