How Skoda keys work
Skodas use Volkswagen Group technology. Earlier-generation Fabia, Octavia and Superb models mostly use a flip key; more recent models, including the Scala, Kamiq, Karoq and Kodiaq, can be fitted with the KESSY system, which lets you unlock and start without taking the key out. An emergency blade is then stored inside the fob. The key’s transponder chip is registered in the immobiliser system, which will not allow the engine to start with an unpaired key. On high-mileage vehicles, it is mainly the blade, the button contacts and the spring of the flip blade that wear out. For a car shared between several drivers, having two working keys avoids the car being stuck at the slightest mix-up. If all keys are lost, have the chassis number (VIN) ready: it identifies the generation and the original key.
Signs it is time to act
- Tired flip blade spring
- Buttons only respond when pressed hard
- Worn blade turning poorly in the lock
- KESSY no longer detecting the key

Your questions
My Octavia has high mileage, can the key wear out?
Yes. With heavy use, the blade rounds off, the buttons lose contact and the folding mechanism tires. A badly worn blade can also wear the door lock. If the key still works, making a spare quickly avoids relying on a key at the end of its life.
How do I start my Kodiaq with KESSY if the key battery is flat?
The Skoda manual describes an emergency start procedure, which involves holding the key against a specific spot near the steering column. The emergency blade, meanwhile, opens the driver’s door. Then replace the battery; if the key is still not detected, have it checked.
How much does a spare Skoda key cost?
From €50 for the simplest keys. The price depends on the model, year and key type (blade, remote, hands-free). Send us these details for a free quote.
