Default Who can program OEM keyless?

The first owner of my GTI lost the switchkey part and the keyless fob seems to have been drowned. I can buy a blank switchkey + fob on ebay and get the key cut to match my current key. Can anyone program the fob to work with my OEM keyless entry?

Probably a VW dealership, so long as you have proof of ownership.

VW Dealerships will not cut an EBAY Key. We know the difference.

Oops. I meant to imply to go the dealership for all of it.

That would be my last resort. They want to strip me of 200 bucks. Switchkey or sway bar guys, what do you think?

Switchkey...

This is what happens when VW owners get a swarbar.
