Volkswagen Jetta keyless start button — a start-stop that responds on the first try
This keyless start button for 2011 to 2017 Volkswagen Jettas is a direct replacement for the original start-stop switch, part number 16D959839. If your car's start button requires multiple presses, stays depressed, or no longer lights up its illuminated ring, nine times out of ten the fault lies with the worn switch, not the control unit. The most cost-effective solution is simply to replace the button.
A design tailored for your Volkswagen Jetta
The part replicates the exact design of the original control: the same diameter, the same chamfer, and the same engraved ENGINE START STOP lettering. It fits into the Jetta's center console without any play or overhang, and its backlighting matches the factory color. The result is seamless: no one would guess it is a replacement part.
Technology, quality & finish
The internal switch is new, with plated contacts that resist oxidation and a return spring calibrated to maintain a crisp click after thousands of starts. The ABS housing is treated to resist UV rays and scratches: unlike aging original buttons, the markings do not wear away under the fingers. The connector follows the Volkswagen pinout, ensuring proper communication with the keyless start module.
Installation, compatibility & durability
Replacement requires no coding or pairing: unclip the trim, disconnect the ribbon cable, install the new button, and close it up. Fifteen minutes is all it takes. Compatible with 2011 to 2017 Volkswagen Jettas equipped with keyless start — check part number 16D959839 on the back of your current button before ordering.
