The next screenshots will guide you through the first steps of the actual key programming on MQB cars:
- Enter CAN Instrument
- Select “VDO” on MQB platform
- Select “Learn Key”
- Make sure all preconditions are met
- Enter the desired number of keys you will program
- Entering bootloader state.
Once you have programmed the keys, the remote also gets programmed.
Note: For keyless go key programming on MQB cars, the key needs to be held close to the emergency slot and push the “Start” button and right after this, start the procedure to program a key.
Note: Specifics in MQB key programming for Skoda vehicles.
When programming keys to MQB Skoda vehicles there is one very important specific step we sometimes need to take.Due to the way the start button and the receiver coil are positioned (the coil is positioned around the start button) often times the keys which we want to program cannot be accepted by the coil. The button creates a disturbance and the coil does not “see” the new key or even the original one for that matter.
A good solution we have is to remove the plastic or aluminium trim around the start button and remove the start/ stop button without disconnecting it.
This will allow you to position the key on the coil and use the start/ stop button to complete the key programming.
This is based on our practice and we are sure it will help you too.
