  Nope, standard key.
  While talking to my friend about a wiring diagram (he has his own import 
repair shop here) he had to have an imobilizer  imobilized.  I guess 
there's 
an accepted way of doing that.  His opinon is that VW was very short 
sighted 
on the whole concept.  Works great for 4 or 5 years then you start having 
problems or in this particular instance (and many others) the ECU goes bad 
so you put in a used one.  Nope, the imobilize won't let the car run 
because the 
VIN doesn't match the one the ECU knows so no start, no way.  Thus negating 

the imobilizer.
