I have a 2000 VW Passat 1.8T Sedan. If I buy this remote do I need to take it to the dealer for programming?

Yes, you will need to take it to a dealership or qualified automotive locksmith in order to have it cut and programmed.

It could be a extra remote. All you have to do is program it to your car. I no problem at all.

I took my remote to get synced at the dealership. It costs $40 and they will program more than one remote.

Yes, it has to go to the dealer. Note: My wife lost her keys, so we got extra keys made and bought the key fob. Our dealer programmed it for free, WOW... We found her keys a couple of weeks later and her old key fob wouldn't work any more. We discovered that the dealer changes the coding so someone else (who has your lost keys) won't be able to use the fob. We had to take both of them in and they programmed them, again for free. We'll but another Hyundai!!!

I don't know, but reading a search on the internet seems to indicate the remote fob must be programmed by a dealer, any GM dealer should have the tech2 unit to do the programming.

It looks like the vw remote/key. But u have to go to dealer or a locksmith that can laser cut the key. U have to bring the car and the original remote also for programming

You have to go to the car dealer or a locksmith to have it programmed. The locksmith is usually less expensive.

The easy way to do it is take the key you bought to the dealership. They will program it for about fifty dollars. Cheapest way to go.

It should as long you have the same remote, if you do you purchase it and take it to the dealership so that they can pair it with your car, they usually charge $65 for the service.

It depends of your car's make & model, if you order the correct remote for that you would be able to program it by yourself in a easily way, therefore ask the seller about this important issue before your purchase.

You buy a remote and with the VIN the dealer can program it to your vehicle.

You need to have both remotes in the car when you do the programing. Here is a link to a youtube video that does an excellent job describing the process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvwMd0FzFTA
