SUCCESS!: How to make a new key incl. transponder

[Jmac]

To do what with VCDS? you need an eeprom reader for the SKC, then use VCDS or any high level diagnostic tool that can access login and there you go. Be prepared to wait for the SKC for hrs if the dash is Motometer, havent heard anyone mention this here. VDO or Motometer clocks, both different in the way the seed key. Best its mentioned as you will sense failure with a Motometer but it can be done with time. Otherwise really clued up auto locksmiths have awesome transponder readers up to the end of Mk4, on Mk5 it all gets to another level of tricky.
Have fun

My VAGCOM can't pick up my security code It has a tune done, could that effect it at all??

I'm about to get going on this and make some new keys and remotes for my 2002 Beetle. I only have one and its looking shabby. If there's anyone else in Perth who needs extra keys then let me know and we can order up big.

Hi Justalf,

Did you succeed?
I'm considering doing it myself on my 2002 Golf 1.6 GL and I was wondering if I can call you for advice?
Thanks!

Hi balkanac,

I'm considering doing it myself on my 2002 Golf 1.6 GL and, since you are in Perth like me, I was wondering if I can call you for advice?
Thanks!

I've managed to do the same thing with my V-checker pro. I just need to get a spare key and do it again

Just read through the thread, now from what I have read VCDS can not retrieve my SKC correct?

I am looking at duplicating another key (non flip key) and in the process of sourcing the transponder + key blank as well.

I have the latest VCDS and vagcom cable.

Hi guys. Long time listener, first time caller!

Does anyone know if this key coding system will work with a 1999 VW Passt B5 Variant? if so, where would I locate the place to plug the Vag-Tacho into a 1999 Passat?

I've just joined the reprogram the keys club...

Must admit, when it failed during the first attempt, and none of the keys worked, I was stressing big time...
Second time, I told it to erase the keys, and then it all worked properly...

Not too sure if there is a limit to the number of keys that can be programed, but during the initial attempt, the new key brought mine up to 5... Now after the erase and reprogram, it's only 2.

I really hope it stays working, or I'm dead meat once the wife gets hold of me...

Well, I now have the equipment if anyone else in Melb needs a hand. Programming the keys was fairly straight forward, the real pain was getting the software & hardware to play nice!
