FAQs
What vehicles is this blade compatible with?
The Autowave HU162 blade is compatible with VW, Seat, Cupra, and Skoda vehicles. Verify the profile with your specific model and year.
Can I cut the blade myself?
No, it is recommended to have the blade cut by a professional locksmith as it requires specialized equipment.
What if the blade doesn't work after cutting?
Verify the cut blade matches your original key, and that the lock is in good working order. If the issue persists, consult with a locksmith.
Is the key blade the same as the key fob?
No, this is only the metal blade that fits inside the door lock. It is for emergency use only. You still need your smart key to start the car.
How do I find a locksmith?
Search online for local locksmiths, or ask your car dealer for recommendations. Make sure the locksmith has experience with automotive keys.
What if my original key blade is lost?
A locksmith can cut a new blade using your vehicle's VIN or by accessing your car's security information. Be prepared to provide proof of ownership.
Troubleshooting
Blade doesn't fit the lock.
Double-check the blade profile against your vehicle's specifications, and ensure it was cut correctly by the locksmith. If the blade is bent or damaged, it may not function correctly.
Door won't unlock.
Ensure the blade is fully inserted into the lock cylinder, and try wiggling the key while applying gentle pressure. If the lock is frozen, try using a de-icing solution.
