"Key not detected message" and key is in my hand in the driver's seat; twice now car has locked itself with the key inside the car and I had to have someone break into the car to get the key.

My only thought. I have had a couple problems with the magnetic keys in my cars. My wife key has gone bad twice but my key would work. It was the car she drives with her key. My key worked which I rarely used so we just replaced her key with a factory original from the dealership our problem was solved. I would suggest you swap the key you use and see if it makes a difference. If it does you will have some new info to give to the dealership.

Alarm, Remote Key and Power Window Problems

You need to have the VW dealer or a well equipped VW savvy repair shop scan the body control module (or whatever VW calls it) and see what codes return, it is likely the problem, but hold on you can't jut pop one in it must be programmed for your car.

My wife is stuck at the airport. the key fob on

On the driver's side door handle, there is a cap covering the key hole on the right side. On the bottom of the cap is a small ****. Use the valet key to pry it up and off. Then you may open the door, most likely sounding the alarm, so you will need to insert the remote in the ignition to stop the NOISE!!!! Hope this helps. This is how I lock my remote away when I go somewhere to run.

The battery in my VW key fob is dead, now I cant start the engine

No. VW has made it nearly impossible to solve any key-related problems without a costly visit to the dealership. Battery must be replaced, and I assure you. the dealership will advise you that the ONLY place that you can find that particular battery is from the dealership. They like it that way.
