Program New Key 2004 VW V8 Touareg
Deviant0ne:
I am attempting to extract the SKC from my 2004 Touareg. So far, I haven't really been able to answer my own question: what interface can I use that is under $50 to this task? I understand that VAG-COM [which I already have] cannot product a dump of the ECU, but the VAG-COM [as far as I understand] is able to program a new key once I have the SKC.
I have been looking into VAG K+CAN Commander but the information is contradictory, some providers say it works with the Touareg and other do not. Has anyone had any experience with this interface and this vehicle?
If the VAG K+CAN Commander doesn't work for this purpose, is it possible to use the VAG K+CAN Commander to dump the contents of the ECU to a file to be read by a member here? How about the MPPS K+CAN V.12? I've also found that using the Galletto interface could provide me the ability to dump the contents of my ECU to a file, but I haven't been able to find any information on if the Galletto is compatible with the Touareg.
TL/DR: Ultimately, I don't want to have to rip-apart my dash, crack-open my ECU and de-solder anything. If possible, I would like an interface cable [preferably under $50 USD] that I can connect to my computer and dump the contents of the ECU to a file, extract the SKC and program a new key using VAG-COM. Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

First is your Touareg a petrol or diesel? If its petrol then it is ME7.1.1. You should be able to use your VDCS cable in dumb mode to read the contents of the eeprom in your ECU. Try Arg Dub's ME7 95040 tool from here using the switch '--SKC' in the command line. That should read out a copy of your e2p and SKC in one shot. To read your ECU bin file you should be able to use the Nefmoto flasher software.
I've used an internet copy of VAGTacho to retrieve the SKC from a friend's VW diesel using a cheap KKL cable with the FT232R chipset. I suggest getting a cheap cable to play around with instead of your expensive Ross Tech anyhow. I got mine on Ebay for $9 shipped. Here is a thread with people's suggestions for sources: http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=325.0. They are so cheap I keep one in my car all the time along with a netbook.
You are correct in that once you have the SKC then a new key can be paired using VCDS. Its super easy. Ross Tech has a video to show you how its done on their site
I wish I had experience with the Touareg so I can tell you if the above suggestion will work. Its worth a try though... Arg Dub's tool won't write over OBD2 I believe, so its safe enough to try. Good luck.

Thank you very much for the information, 316LV. This software is exactly what I was looking for; however, now I'm having a different issue...
To answer your original question, I have a 2004 V8 gasoline [petrol] Touareg. With that said, I have three different VAG-COM cables and I get nothing but communication errors [07] using V1.31 or V1.40. One of the cables is Chinese and the firmware was upgraded, which broke the cable so that one is likely completely useless. The second cable is another Chinese cable and works with VCDS 12.12 without issue and the last cable is a HQ-clone from Bulgaria that works fine with the latest version of VCDS. The answer might be that I need to "invest" in one of the cables you recommended. In any case, thank you again for the information, I will keep trying.
As a side-note, what version of ArgDub's tool are you using? When I pass the --SKC switch to either version I was able to find, it's as though that switch isn't recognized. Thanks!

--SKC must be upper case. If you put it in lower case it's not recognised

Thank you for the input! I still can't get ArgDub's tool to read my Touareg's ECU; I think I am just going to order an MPPS 16 from Diag Lauter and dump the contents of my ECU that way, unless someone has an ever better suggestion...
