We just bought a 2007 passat and went to start it today and got the Vehical Immobilizer Active, what do i do?

Try leaving the car on for a half hour. It can reset itself.

Did you try to use a different key than you regularly do?

Look through the immobilizer FAQ in the FAQ section 1000q. There are many troubleshooting steps listed in there. Did you buy it from a dealer or private party? Using an unmatched key is a possible culprit.
