Up to approx 2004/2005 you can use an ilexa or gendan cable with free ross-tech software for basic diagnostics. The package gets better if you pay ross-tech for a licenced version of the software. Programming keys isn't easy as you will need secret key code from dealer. Some people have software that can extract the skc on your car and then programme the key. Dealers will tell you this can't be done. What ever you do, get the key code done by someone who knows what they are doing like shark who is on this forum.

Did somebody say Shark?

Dealers can no longer provide you with your SKC as their system codes keys with a live link to Germany, the techs don't even see the codes any more and they cannot get them.

If you require your key code I can help you.
