VCDS for SKC?

[k6rff]

Hi,

I have 9.08 VCDS but I'm a bit of a novice. I manage to put minor frills on such as needle sweep and check fault codes but little else. I need to obtain the SKC for my son's 53 plate Ibiza. He only has the one key and, as he's bound to lose it, I need a spare. Dealershiops are both unhelpful and expensive. Am I able to find the SKC with VCDS? If this is not possible do we have any SKC readers in Kent?

Regards

vcds has no function to retrieve the the skc code.Try Shark90 he has the correct tooling to carry out key codes

Hi,

I thought this was a difficult thing to achieve, there was a thread somewhere on here that asked about it.

Can it be done on a b7 tdi??

No needle sweep function on a B7 unfortunately, no.

As a8_tech has said I have the correct tools to do this. VCDS does not do that sort of thing unfortunately.

I'm quite a way from you but if your son can live without the car for a couple of days I can retrieve the SKC from the ECU if you were inclined to take it out, but I appreciate that's not the kind of thing everyone wants to do!
