[@langcael1527]

Wanted to add to this, one of my keys was lost, so after I entered my pin code and started adaptation, I lowered my key count to one, saved it, closed out, and then restarted the process of adding a second key. Working great now. Thank you.

[@DON_M4RK]

Why don´t you just add function to read the immo code so you can make our lives easier???

[@lol-ws6po]

because then anyone can just steal your car

[@karenalmestica739]

Your Are Amazing !! I Have A Friend Of Mine That Riped Him Off By Giving Him An Unauthorized Key After Paying For A Volkswagen Jetta .

For anyone looking to retrieve the PIN, there is a tool called VAG KEY which is able to do it.

Hi! I just bought a new dashboard for an Audi A3 8l, and I was wondering if it's possible to change a chip or something between the old and new dashboards so the new dashboard recognizes my old keys.

[@hansuirab]

Thnx for the video it's helpful my remote stop working i try replays new battery the light even stop flashing can it repair or use another car remote

[@marcelapoblete9156]

I checked the vag scan and i asks for a 5 digit pin or a 7 digit PIN / SKC where can I find any of them?

[@nyuztr]

hello, I have the same problem you describe in the video, my car is immobilized by this system. I can use this step by step with that code you used to call it again?

[@Lessthanthreeedm]

Do you need to program the new cluster for the functions like air temp, miles to empty, ect to work? I've swapped my old no screen cluster into MFA bora sport one but it's not displaying any info.

[@shawnparasram5389]

If have the pin code, but no adapted/programmed(original) key,will vcds adapt a new key to immobilizer???

[@sawes05]

If I swap instrument Cluster (VDO) should I change transponders in my old keys to match them to new instrument cluster ?

[@hunordeutsch7426]

A key left in the door that used to work will no longer start the car after adapting the other keys. But can I readapt the key which used to work? Or it depends if it has transponder for Immo 2 (readaptable) or transponder for immo3 (not adaptable)? thanks

[@matt452]

Is it possible to code any key? or do you still have to have the key specifically cut?

[@davidolivas1285]

hello i have a 2006 gli that key got lost, had a locksmith make a newone but he never reprogramed the key... i have another car same year that is wrecked it starts good my question is if i replace cluster and steering column ,would it start? thanks

I've always had a problem with my keys since I bought my car I min the remote control works the next min iam having to open the doors manually. ..but just recently I've been having problems in starting the car it starts runs for 2 secs then dies...it starts when it wants to ..what do you think could be the problem with my car

[@rubenxh0k]

Its posible to use this method to change the cluster? I own an Audi A3 2000 and I found an S3 2000 cluster and when i tried to change it, had this problem.

[@RossTechVCDS]

If all that is left is the metal blade (sidewinder), then it would appear you need a complete new key and have it adapted to the car.

[@johnyp]

i have the same problem,i saw that the imobillizer warning comes on the dash,i used my second genuine key that i've never used before,and its doing it again with the second key....do you know what is the problem!!thank you!!

This video is a little confusing. After all do you log to the Immobilizer module or cluster module to do this procedure?

Did this procedure works on Touareg 2.5 TDI 2004 year? Thanx

[@RossTechVCDS]

One of our distributors sells a tool that can retrieve PIN on some clusters, AE Tools. But it isn't cheap, you are better off finding a local locksmith who can perform the service for you. There are a lot of crap tools that claim to be able to pull PINs, but we get phone calls and emails all the time from people using these crap tools that get wrong PINs or worse, bricked modules.

Buy a new transponder ! But depending from the year of your VW Golf, you may need to ask a locksmith to prepare it. Probably ID48 TP23 chip.

[@syroz7624]

What are you guys talking about? The audis and VW uses 48 glass chips before 05 and 48 can after 05. Once the chip is programmed it can't be used on other car because it locked now. It can be earesed and programmed again only to the vehicle it locked to. So to program it to another car it needs to be unlocked first which is usually more difficult the buy a brend new blank key.

This procedure is also available for Passat B6 2006?

[@VitorBart]

Mr. Ross Tech, I followed this procedure because I bought a previously used key with an IMMO2 chip inside of it and wanted to match it to my car. After rematching my own keys (x2) when it came to this "new" key the yellow light kept blinking and VCDS showed me "ERROR" on the screen. Do you know what migh be causing this? Thanks.

[@RossTechVCDS]

VitorBart My guess would be that used key is no good. I have personally matched up used Immob 2 keys to different cars without issue.

[@VitorBart]

RossTechVCDS I'm sorry, how come an used key might be "no good"? It's just a blade that starts the ignition with the IMMO2 pill inside the plastic case right where it's supposed to be. You mean the pill might be bad, is that it? If so, could you provide me the correct specs for my car? It's a ROW VW Passat 98 AEB. These t48 pills sold as "new" would do the trick? Thanks!

[@Caradonia]

Pmsl @ Ross Tech :-))

[@mgbarela]

can I do this without the pc... for 00 can't it learn it itself I hear?

[@mgbarela]

if I use the key that works to start it start it... now listen. take that key out of the ignition and insert the new key, and start it within 5 to 10 seconds immediately. The car will start and stay running but the immobilizer light will stay blinking and I can actually drive anywhere, just first thought was can this damage my ignition system or stall out while driving?? Not on mine it's got the code on another device saved but can be simply deactivated in a hidden spot. Why they installed a pull away chip.. known as a smart key.. Haven't seen these for years but some junk yards you see them a lot on other vw's which they had snaped it in half so you can't pull it out etc.. Was wondering if they had other crap installed by chance like a breaholizer machine and just upon removal left the other wiring and installed a chip??? Thanks. I bought the car this way.. planning on putting remote start on this. Should work.

[@mgbarela]

um, I programed the key to unlock etc. and got the key cut at dealer but I only am looking to program the key to start the vehicle. For spare key.

OK, you say a PIN must be used. How do I know my car's PIN? I still have the plastic bar that came with the spare and valet keys when the car was new. The plastic bar thing encloses a strip with all the key ID numbering and I was wondering iif the PIN is on that bar? BTW, it's a 2004 Audi S4.

[@RossTechVCDS]

For a brief time around 2001, some VW and Audi vehicles had the PIN info on the black plastic key tag. From that very limited event, it has morphed into the false story that all those black plastic key tags have the PIN on them to this day. As I recall, VW and Audi stopped doing it about a year after they started it... but the rumors live on. We still suggest to contact an automotive locksmith to get the PIN. The dealers do not have direct access to that information.

[@AudioFileZ]

@@RossTechVCDS Thank you I appreciate the response.

[@RossTechVCDS]

Without seeing the car first hand, we have no way of knowing for sure that the real issue is. Have you tried a battery jesus? This is where you remove the battery cables and touch them together for 10 seconds. That might help. You could have a bad key as well... but without further diagnosis, we can only wildly guess.

[@ryanmoyer4812]

Will this work with OBDEleven Pro?

[@RossTechVCDS]

Without seeing the car first hand, it is hard to say what the issue is. Maybe the keys are bad. Maybe the reader coil for the Immobilizer is bad. Maybe the Immobilizer itself it bad. Maybe it is something else, no way to know without diagnosing the issue.
