SKC / Immobiliser

[Ilkorin]

Time to sort my spare key debacle

I have a 98 2.8 V6 cabrio with the late (A4 style?) flip key, but only one key.

I've finally bought a spare key shell and had the blade cut but this has never been programmed for the immobiliser. All indications show that this is a simple job with VAG COM or cloning

Problem is I need my SKC to do this and I don't have it. Dealer won't give me the code if they did the job, and my local dealer won't do my key blank either, insisting I buy a new one at eye-watering cost....

Another option is to get my current key cloned to the new one, but I'm struggling to find anyone who will do it.

Anyone know anything about how these systems work and how I can get my SKC? I think this will end up being the easiest way... Or alternatively if someone knows where I can clone ID48 transponder chips...

Also for obvious reasons if there's any info that may help thieves, feel free to message me rather than post it for the world to see!

Thanks!

Try find someone with Vag tacho

Vag tacho is dirt cheap on the bay of thieves now

So it is! I remember it being much more expensive! Runs off a PC like vag com too... Will give it a go! Hopefully I can do the recoding ok without killing my only key
