topok to dealership to get keys programmed for my vw beetle. 1st said, can't program it as it need new battery cables, possibly a battery and top fue box. Got them replaced. Took back to dealership and said no illumination lights on dashboard, can't program. decided to have a diagnostic scan by them run. Needs ignition switch and wiring harness. Did that as well then returned it again to dealership. Got a call saying we programmed the keys BUT car won't start. Can't help you. So this brings me to my initial question. Can a key get programmed to a car that doesn't run.

Hello, yes a key can be programmed to function with a vehicle, but the vehicle may still not start for some other undetermined reason. I'm so sorry you have had so many issues it seems -- I would be frustrated myself. But testing needs to continue to find out what the concern is now. Good luck.
Thank you for answering my question. All in all, they should've done that the 1st time i brought it in to them. Idgets!!!
