I think I have found the flip key solution for us lot that have the older and cooler veriety of veedubs! (I have a B3 passat by the way!)
I think that this is ok if you don't already have a remote fob.
first of all check this link out...

then buy a three button remote off ebay. I got mine for £7 inc. p+p.
then buy a boot release kit. You can get these from loads of online stores, or
alternatively, you could make your own from an original vw boot release motor off a newer vw (from scrap yard) and buy the push button and wiring from maplin. You get better quality parts by doing the second option! - then fit this on your car.
then.....buy this kit:

.....and fit it, check it works!
finally, if you want a genuine key with a quality feel.........you can fit the circuit board from the flipkey 'copy' into the 'real deal' vw key!....hey presto!
total cost: £7 for real key
£35 inc. p+p for remote central locking kit.
£15 for boot release kit
£5 for key to be cut
i hope this helps......
