My ignition key was turned too hard and broke. I can now crank it over but wont start. Immobilizer light has went off, but same symptom. How do I start car?
How do I start car after ignition lock was
broken?

Tape the the broken key head next to the ignition switch... this will allow the handshake (signal from the computer to the chip in the key to communicate) allowing the vehicle to start. Have this ignition switch replaced before you lose the key head or it fails completely costing hundreds more.

Hi all! This may seem like a trivial question, but I'm considering buying a pre-owned 2012 Beetle that happens to have keyless start. I guess I'm kind of old-school, though, because I don't especial...
