However, based upon my past experience with many insurance firms, they usually will only pay for the door lock and sometimes the trunk lock rekey. This especially has been true the last several years since the pass code or "electronic dead bolt" key system has become standard on most cars sold since 2000. In this systen, the that the thief has will open the doors, but as soon as you reprogramme the key(s) to the "electronic dead bolt" id system system, those keys that aren't programmed to the system won't start the car.



The previous writer is correct that you should contact your insurance company, also if you had your house keys with the car keys, you should either replace or re-key the house door lock as well. Most insurance companies will pay a set allowance for re-key of your house as part of your home owner's policy. As to the car, based upon my experience, you'll likely only get them to replace one lock cylinder, though sometimes I've been lucky enough to convince them to at least replace the exterior door locks or re-key them to match up. You can order a complete lockset from VW that is keyed up to one key, but otherwise, individual lock cylinders that are ordered will all have different key codes. Some dealers and independent locksmiths can re-key locks to a single key cut, others cannot. You need to discuss the matter at length with your insurance claims agent ASAP.
