About Routan Keys

Verified key reference for the Volkswagen Routan — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer each generation uses. Boundary years can overlap; we confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.

Security System & Immobilizer

VW’s Immo 1–4/5 generations ran Megamos ID48 “precoded” chips before MQB moved to Megamos AES — era determines clone vs. program.

On the Routan specifically we see: Hitag2 ID46. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.
