How the Volkswagen immobiliser works
IMMO4 on older Golf, Polo and Transporter; MQB platform cars from roughly 2013 use IMMO5, which requires component security data rather than a straightforward OBD write.
Can you cut a Volkswagen key with none left?
Pre-MQB is routine at the roadside. MQB all-keys-lost is possible but longer, because the component security has to be extracted before a key can be written.
What usually goes wrong on a Volkswagen
- Golf and Polo flip-key hinges failing
- Transporter locks damaged in break-in attempts
- Worn ignition switches on higher-mileage Golfs
What you will need
We verify ownership on every job without exception. It is mildly inconvenient once, and it is the reason nobody else can have a key cut to your Volkswagen.
