flip key info thread

i said this before and got a bit of ribbing from gazjones but clear nail varnish works a treat to fix it, it acts as a weak glue and is easily removable when needed

 

[Chemical Al]

i agree, i used "sticky" nail varnish (im told this is the base layer to help normal nail varnish stick to the nail ) to stick mine badge in, took a while to dry but worked a treat

 

[gazjones]

i used double sided sticky tape and i posted the badge in the first post i think

Also has anyone managed to get a 2nd hand key coded to the immobiliser?

I spoke to a automotive locksmith and he said he has never managed it and that i would need to get a virgin transponder

This is the trouble i'm having... I've got a couple of 2nd hand keys now, but can only get the immobilzer to code with the original transponders.

What i'd like to know is can you buy a NEW transponder on its own then, or does it HAVE to come inside a complete new key??

 

[Chemical Al]

you can get virgin chips, about £2.50 ish each i might be ordering some shortly

I assume you have your login code for your immobiliser and vagcom to code them?

 

[Funkyfin2000]

where did u get the virgin chips from?

[Chemical Al]

if your going to order give me a shout we shall see if we cant save on postage

 

[phatchoonz1]

Chemical Al - you're the man!

It's been bugging me for about the last two months trying to program 2nd hand key's to match my car!

Yep, have login code and Vagcom, just needed the new transponders after all!!

Thanks so much!

 

[Chemical Al]

make sure you get the right ones (AKTP2)

 

[Funkyfin2000]

interesting stuff guys.....

so then....with the login code (il hopefully get off al ) and new transponders can you then recode the keys to the car...

question is do you need new transponders for your old seat keys too....... or will they be fine??

 

[Funkyfin2000]

free postage only applies on orders over £50!!!

Gonna have to order a lot of transponders for that!!!!

we can get them 12p cheaper....but hardly any point

You use the transponder out your spare, so what was your main remote key will now be your new spare

The old spare left without a transponder can be used to open doors, but not start the car.

but eould be cheaper if we bought a few together and posted to each other. if we did it seperate it would be £3.50 each or £7 for both do the math

 

[Funkyfin2000]

al can you tell me the procedure for that car?

Im still unsure if i can program myself with the transponder...

last nite on msn u said that my login code was 01234?

i thought i needed my 4 digit skc?

 

[Chemical Al]

you dont need a 7 digit skc if you have a 4 digit login code. the skc is used to generate the login code

you already have a 4 digit code right? then read this

http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/key-matching-4digit.html

the 4 digit skc is also older immobs and newer use 7 digit skc.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

i don't have my 4 digit SKC....it should have come with the car on ther key ring as far as im aware......

but i don't have it Al....

 

[Funkyfin2000]

What your saying is basically this:

Get virgin transponders in ALL keys...inc the key flip keys....

Then get my 4 digit SKC code from the dealer (or your new device will read it surely??)

and then do this:

Key Matching with 4-digit SKC
Updated 29 Mar. 2005

Ross-Tech is not responsible for any damage or problems that may result from following these instructions. They are to be used at your own risk.

This procedure details how to match new keys to Immobilizer-equipped VW/Audi vehicles. As of 11 Mar. 2002, VW and Audi are providing 7-digit Secret Key Codes in place of the earlier 4-digit SKC's. Keys must be coded using the new 7-digit SKC (secret key code) method unless the owner still has the correct 4-digit code.

Note: See this page for important SKC information.

Procedure for matching keys to vehicles with Immobilizer in the Instrument Cluster:
(includes many 1999+ Golf/GTI/Jetta/New Beetle/Passat, also Audi)

[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Login - 11]
Enter zero followed by the 4-digit SKC.
For example, if your SKC is 1234, enter 01234.
[Do It!]


[Adaptation - 10]
Enter 21 in "Channel Number"
[Read]
The "Stored Value" is the number of keys currently matched.
Enter "new value" of 0
[Test]
[Save]
This clears out the old key-matchings.
Enter a "new value" corresponding to the total number of keys to be matched, including any existing keys
[Test]
[Save]


[Done, Go Back]
[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]
Switch ignition off and remove key


Insert next key to ignition and switch ignition on again
The warning light for the Immobilizer will light up for ~2 seconds, then go out
Switch ignition off and remove key


Repeat step 4 with each key until all keys have been matched.

3 button keys work well too.

hold the boot button down and the alarm will turn off and just the boot will unlock, then when the boot gets closed system will rearm and boot will lock

tested on my 54 plate ibiza FR tdi
