Whats this white box behind my dash?

Interesting, does this interact with the ECU? I don't think it can cos I changed the ECU with the one in my lad's car and it fired up no problem. I'm guessing it's just an igntion immob.

This is on the Amethyst avant so no intention of scrapping

your other avant is an earlier non immo car though iirc so you can plug that into a later car

I came across this while researching buying a spare key for my V10 TDI Toureg. The website contains a lot of info concerning VAG keys.

yes well worth it!

Matching imobo boxes to ecus is easy, matching keys to immobo boxes requires skc code which most owners don't have

Don't you need the SKC code to match the immo box to the ECU? The Ross Tech procedure says you do

As Ross-Tech says you do need an SKC to pair a 'new to the car' Immo1 box 'to the cars' ECU.
With a bit of backward logic its easy to get around this and not need an SKC code. Just depends how you use Vag Com. I did a write up on this years ago on audifans just search there, as most of the immo 1 issues were sorted out.

Did a lot of searching but couldn't find your write-up

I did find this, which might work?

"Logged into VAG-COM, into "select control moduel" then group 25 "immobilser". It then logged into the immo part of the ECU and I reset group 0 so as to match the key with the new ECU. Worked a treat."
