Hi everyone –

I have spent hours reading through all the pages of this forum; it is very intriguing information and a lot more than I had bargained for to simply create a duplicate key! I had a question regarding retrieving the SKC code from an 04 Beetle.

Looking through ddillenger posts, I was able to find a similar situation by reading the eeprom from an A4 (http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=3057.0). I’m pretty sure I am understanding this correctly; that the SKC is embedded into line 0x32 and 0x33. Question is, using Vag Commander 3.6, I would read the eeprom from the cluster, correct? Locating the embedded SKC for my 04 Beetle would be the same as the A4, correct?

I apologize for my dumb questions…I have plenty of others, but will save them for another topic! ☺

Cheers!

Thanks!

How about this...I have a KKL VAG-COM 409.1 cable on the way. Couldn't I just run the vag-tacho off that cable and read the SKC, and while I am it, program the keys, as well? Sounds too simple, but please correct me if I am missing something. I am going off information found in this thread: http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=2963.15

Thank you!

I have the 2.0 (BGD) engine. It is a 2004 Beetle.

I have vauge memories of someone having real issues with a Beetle, as it ran a different immo chip and none of the usual tools work for it, be worth doing a search.

Thanks...I am pretty sure the usual tools work for this one. It is megamos 48 chip, if I remember correctly (going off memory).

Would my idea of using the KKL VAG-COM 409.1 cable with vag-tacho work at all?

Cheers!

argdub's tool is used for me7.1/7.5, but as above, Im not sure if this works with beetles.

K0mpressed - am I right in thinking that this will not work for a beetle?
