Home Products VAG-COM Support Car Info & Procedures Key Matching with 4-digit SKC Key Matching with 4-digit SKC Updated 19 Oct. 2009
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. VW/Audi used to give out the SKC to vehicle owners but as of 2005 they no longer do. Unless you already have that information, then you will not be able to use these instructions - you will likely need to have your dealer perform this procedure. Important Note: Unless you ALREADY have the SKC information for your vehicle and components then you will NOT be able to do any of the Immobilizer functions. Click this link for more information.
