Vag tacho for coding keys

think it would need to be connected to the immobilised type because i think its stored in there. Or through immo box connected to an immobilised ecu. Were you getting a connection?

 

mmm.. thats what error i get with the car i tried . Haven't connected vag com to it yet.

 

I've owned VAG-Com for a few years now but this is the first time I've heard of VAG-Tacho... & it sounds interesting.

So VAG-Com cant pull SKC pins from the ECU/immobiliser?

I have a MK316V which needs an adjustement to the odometer as I stuck in 16V Colour Concept clocks last year and they read 17k under - Can VAG-Tacho perform the adjustement as I really can't be bothered buying an EEPROM reader and hacking the damn thing and I'm too tight to pay some 'dodgy geezer' 80 odd quid to do something that if I got of my ar$e I could do myself - I know its a tiny EEPROM but I really can't be bothered.

Where why and how do I get my paws on a copy and cable etc?

 

Al, if you had a mkiv, passat, a3,a4 etc you could adjust the mileage. vag tacho can be had off ebay fairly cheap tho. handy for keys especially when you don't have to go to a dealer.

 

How did you get on with this Rubjonny?

 

So it worked then? Good to know, i have only one key for the car and was hoping to code a new key, to do this would i need VAG TACHO and a new key from VW?

Are the keys expensive?

I have in the cars paperwork a key request that has the keys number on there would it be best get VW to program the key with this paperwork when i buy a new one from them or should i buy VAG TACHO and do it myself?

cheers

 

Just get vag tacho. For the price of a key from Vw you can buy it and reprogram your key and any others you may need. It can also retrieve code from mk4's passats, seats skodas etc. And adjust mileage on various platforms. If you know what your doing. Can also do some other fancy stuff.

You dont need to go to VW. Just go to a locksmiths shop with your key, get them to copy it onto the right type of key, then you can reprogram it. Using the pin code from Vag tacho.

 

True

 

Interesting RJ, seems it is possiable but i need 4 bits of info;

7-digit SKC that the dealer generated for your exact Immobilizer ID Number.
Date on which the 7-digit SKC was GENERATED BY THE DEALER.
Workshop Code (WSC) for the dealer that generated the SKC.
Importer Number for the dealer that generated the SKC.

I have the SKC, the date and the importer no, i do not have the WSC and according to Ross-tech if one of these peices of info is incorrect or missing VAG-COM will not be able to recode the key for me.

Looks like VAG - TACHO is the way to go.

 

Yep its the 7 digit code that i have.

 

That looks good to me, the paperwork i have for the SKC does not have a dealer address or name so it would make trying to find the WSC very difficult, think ill spend the 15 and get VAG-TACHO.

cheers all.

 

Did you ever get this working on a mk3 with a seperate immo box? Trying to read my Ibiza's code with a vag-tacho cable but having no joy. It will read the immo boxes number but nothing more.

 

hmm maybe I have a dodgy lead then. I've got a matched key in the ignition, tryed both of my matched key's with no difference.

 

IIRC. Seat have a different immo box option in Vag Tacho.

Have you tried " Get pin"
