FAQs

What vehicles is this key blade compatible with?

The Autowave HU162T key blade is designed for use with VW, Seat, and Skoda vehicles, typically used with aftermarket remotes. Always verify the profile against your original key before purchase.

Can I return the key blade if it doesn't work?

No, this key blade is non-returnable once cut. Ensure that it matches the key profile before cutting.

Where can I get the key blade cut?

You can get the key blade cut at a professional locksmith or key-cutting service.

Does this key blade come with a remote?

No, this is a replacement key blade only, not a complete key or remote. It is intended for use with aftermarket remotes.

What if the key blade gets damaged?

Handle the key blade carefully to avoid bending or breakage. If damaged, it will likely need to be replaced.

How do I maintain my key blade?

There is no special maintenance required. Keep it clean and protect it from impacts.

What if the blade doesn't fit after it is cut?

If the blade doesn't fit after being cut, reconfirm the cutting accuracy with the locksmith. There might be an issue with the cut or the keyway.

Troubleshooting

Key blade does not turn in the ignition or door lock.

Verify that the key blade has been cut correctly to match your vehicle's original key profile. If it is a new cut, confirm the cutting accuracy with the locksmith. Inspect for any obstructions in the lock mechanism.

The remote functions, but the key blade does not engage the ignition.

Ensure the key blade is fully inserted. Check for any physical damage to the blade that may prevent full insertion. If this continues, re-check the key blade cutting accuracy.

The key blade is difficult to insert or remove.

Lubricate the keyway with graphite lubricant (do not use oil). If the issue persists, the cutting may be imperfect, and you should return to the locksmith.
