Is it true that a key can be made just by giving VW the VIN number? The VIN # is easily read through the drivers side windshield. I guess if its true, then some black tape would prevent anyone from having a key made
Black tape over VIN number

think that's true, but you'd need to be able to prove that you own the car too - log book and insurance certificate.
Just like any other dealer, before they will order or make you a key from the VIN. They require proof of ownership aswell as a valid drivers lic. with the same name as the ownership.
