DLGHPO Key Fob NBG010180T for 2011–2016 VW Jetta Golf GTI Passat — Preloaded Electronics & Battery

DLGHPO NBG010180T is a full replacement remote key fob preloaded with electronics and battery for non‑push‑start VW models from 2011–2016.

This aftermarket DLGHPO key fob is built to match the factory remote used on many Volkswagen models of the 2011–2016 era. It is designed to replace part numbers like 5K0837202AE, 5K0837202R and 5K0837202A when the FCC ID, radio frequency, button configuration and vehicle key system correspond. The fob ships with the internal circuit and battery installed, but it requires a cut blade and professional programming to function with your car's immobilizer and remote features.

Will this key fob work with my VW model?

The DLGHPO NBG010180T fits a range of Volkswagen cars from that generation when equipment matches. It is suitable for standard turn‑key ignition models rather than vehicles equipped with push‑button start or factory smart key systems.

• Compatible models: 2011–2016 Jetta, Golf, CC, Eos, Tiguan, Touareg and 2012–2016 Passat, Beetle, GTI.
• Replaces OEM P/N 5K0837202AE, 5K0837202R, 5K0837202A if frequency/FCC ID and button layout match.
• Not compatible with push‑start, PEPS, KESSY, Smart Key or keyless access systems.

How do I get this fob working with my car?

Although the DLGHPO fob includes the electronics and battery, it is not a plug‑and‑play item. A qualified automotive locksmith or dealer must cut the metal key blade to match your vehicle and program the transponder to your car’s immobilizer using diagnostic equipment.

• Have the blade professionally cut to match your ignition and door locks.
• Confirm the locksmith can program aftermarket VW NBG010180T / ID48 CAN keys before cutting.
• Programming requires specialized tools—this fob is not self‑programmable at home.

What features and limitations should I expect?

This replacement provides the same button layout and remote control functions as the original fobs for compatible models. However, advanced factory features tied to smart‑entry or push‑start systems are not supported by this unit.

• Includes pre‑installed electronics and battery for immediate power on arrival.
• Controls remote lock/unlock and panic as the original remote (when programmed).
• Does not enable keyless start or proximity entry on vehicles that originally used those systems.

What should I check before purchasing?

Confirm your vehicle’s original key part number, FCC ID, frequency and button arrangement to ensure compatibility. Also verify with your locksmith that they can program an aftermarket ID48 CAN key for your specific VW model before you proceed.

• Compare your old key’s part number and FCC ID to the replacement listing.
• Verify your car uses a conventional turn‑key ignition, not push‑button start.
• Ask the locksmith whether they can program the NBG010180T / ID48 CAN key first.

Who this is for: This DLGHPO replacement key fob is aimed at owners of compatible 2011–2016 Volkswagen models who need a direct remote/key replacement for traditional keyed ignitions. It suits drivers seeking an aftermarket fob prewired with electronics and battery who are willing to have a locksmith cut and program the blade. If your VW uses factory smart‑entry or push‑to‑start systems, choose a key designed for those setups instead.
