What this service does

Across the Volkswagen Group of this era — VW, Audi, Skoda and SEAT — the immobiliser data lives in the instrument cluster. With no working key, that data has to be read directly from the cluster to make a key the car will accept. You post us your cluster, we read the immobiliser data and program a key that starts your car, then post back your cluster and the new key — ready to fit and drive.

Good for all keys lost — because we work from the cluster, not an existing key, it makes no difference whether you’ve lost every key or just want to add one.

How it works

1. Buy this service, remove your instrument cluster and post it to us
2. We read the immobiliser data and program a key that starts your car.
3. We post back your cluster and the new key.
4. Refit the cluster, and your new key starts the car.
