What do you need SKC for exactly?

Well, without SKC you won't be able to activate the immobilizer and program a new key.
The funny thing is I don't have a working key right now! I broke the transponder chip while trying to change the Kit.

It seems the process is a little bit more complicated when you don't have any working key in hand, that's why everywhere I call quote more than their usual price.

Ahh.... that explains all the threads! Sorry I must have missed the bit where you said you were trying program a new key.

I'm out on this one

Last time I had a similar problem was at work. We bought a GTI that was stolen recovered (no key).
Ordered a aftermarket key with transponder chip, was about $100 landed from memory but our usual guy couldn't program it.

The car had to be towed to VW along with the key. They programmed for $350 + GST. That was some many years ago though

Found an ad in Gumtree, he just came by and fixed it for $150
