AWESOME! I accidentally locked myself out of my house (twice) because my VW key was NOT chained to my house key. Thanks! You are awesome!

They literally just pull apart. It’s kind of tricky though. I actually put the key in a vise grip, and pulled it apart with pliers.

Is there a trick to pulling the unit apart? A pressure release point?

This is awesome. I’ve got an ’04 Passat and BOTH of the switchblade keys have been busted for over a year. Yours was the first result I got when I googled drilling VW key, and I just completed the job. The races are, indeed, united.
