In this particular case you will see that only the HEX+CAN series interface is compatible. Look horizontally across the VCDS Compatibility Chart until you find the Model Year 2006 and you can determine which interface(s) is required for that Chassis. Note that the Chassis Type “4F” is listed under that model. See the Model information Column for Audi to find the A6 Model. The 7th and 8th digits are 4F for Audi A6 (4F), the 10th digit is 6 which stands for Model Year (MY) 2006. The Chassis type will usually be found in these digits. To find the Chassis Type for your car, look at the 7th and 8th digits of the VIN number.

If you happen to have the SKC code that came with your car you can use VCDS to program the key without the aid of Vag-Tacho.
You can also program the new keys using the PIN (SKC) code or use VCDS to program it instead which some feel is safer. This cable and accompanying software will log into your Immobilizer system and let you view the code. If your car didn’t come with the black tag with the SKC number on it it is possible to retrieve the code with the use of Vag-Tacho. Immobilizer PIN retrieval and programming using Vag-Tacho If that is the case just skip down to the next video to program the remote with VCDS. If your doors don’t lock right, or your dome light doesn’t come on when you open each doors, or if the car locks randomly on you it is a good chance that you have a door lock control module and this method won’t work for you. This method requires all of your door microswitches to work. Programming the remote using the 2 key method So I am going to do an Immo delete on it and will add that to this series as well. This happened to me with the Beetle I was attempting to program in the second set of videos.įrom the best I can gather is the car had a cluster replaced in the past so the SKC code that came with the car didn’t match the one stored in the system and using either one I was unable to program the new keys. The caveat to that is that there will be some times in which you will just have to delete the Immobilizer system to get new keys to work. There are a few different types of Immobilizer systems used in the MK4 and other models which we will cover in another article but these videos should get you going with a new key in most situations. It does require a large refundable deposit, but in the end only cost $25 and gives you the assurance of knowing you can program your immobilizer without messing anything up. So my suggestion is to just rent the real one from FixMyVW. I scoured the internet and trying all of the tricks that the internet had to offer to make it work, but I was unable to.
I bought one to try out along side of the real Vag-Tacho cable but it was so crappy the drivers I had couldn’t recognize it. There are plenty of cheapie ones for sale for around $15 on eBay. Most of us don’t have that anymore so the SKC number can be retrieved using a program called Vag-Tacho. Both can be programmed using VCDS if you have the the SKC pin number that came on the black key hang tag that came with your vehicle. The key itself has 2 parts to program, the remote locks and the Immobolizer. I created this series of videos to help you program program you keys as easily as possible. Depending on which car you have a new key can be as cheap as $45 The guys over at FixMyVW have been working hard to make new keys on not just a MK4, but other VWs cheaper to buy and program. New keys cut and programmed can range from $250 to $400 depending on the dealer. Having your keys programmed can be an expensive process if you go to the dealership.
