My '82 Vanagon uses a totally different key.  The ignition key won't even
fit in the lock.  It's a diesel, though, so it would have a different cap.
I get the same "safety feature" by putting my fuel cap key on the same
ring as my ignition key.  I like to shove the ignition key into the
passenger side door lock and let the cap hang there while I fill up.
