I would firstly assume the code I was given is incorect rather than the cluster being swapped. How can I tell if my cluster has been changed, although I very much doubt it was. The value was 1 for both keys so I would assume that the chip is virgin and programmable to the car. If value is not 1, the key is not capable of being adapted to Immobilizer. Using this info I have checked both my old working key and the new key. Mine is brought from Germany so it's an European model, maybe there's a difference. Maybe it has something to do with either US/German models. Any of you guys ever found a 5 digit login code on any car ? Some other guys told me that there is no way that the code is a 5 digit one, and it should be a 4 digit one. what is this 5 digit code I have then ? Or maybe I need a newer VAGCOM to do it although my car is a 2002 so I figured that even an old 409.1 VAGCOM interface WOULD WORK. Does that mean that the code is incorect ? If so. Some days after that I found a friend with a VAGCOM 409.1 ( an old version ) - but when trying to Login into my Instruments I get 'Login lost due to dropeed Session' messange on the VAGCOM software. Since I knew that usually you put a 0 in front of the 4 digit code in the VAGCOM login area, I figured that since mine was already a 5 digit one, it's correct.

When I got the code read out, I didn't have the 'new' key with me so I note down the code thinking I will use a VAGCOM interface in order to have the key matched some days after. So it's a 5 digit one instead of 4 digit one having the first digit '5'. The software told me that my LOGIN code is 5****. I didn't find a Tacho but I did find a Commander and after a few tries regarding my cluster ( or ECU - not sure ) type I managed to log into my ECU using the Bosch Something setting so I figured that's the one I have. I don't have any 4/7 digit SKC code that came with the car so since the dealers no longer give these away since 2005, my only hope was to get the login code read out from the ECU via a Vag-Techo or Vag-Commander interface. Got the key blade cut, it works fine - it opens the door mechanically and gets the car to the START position, of course it doesn't start the car as the chip is not programmed to the car so I needed to do that. I bought a used key off e-bay with a blank blade + a virgin transponder chip ( id48 ) and the remote of course matches the code/frequency of my single key that I have. So, I need to make myself another key for my 2002 Audi A4B6 ( 1.9TDI ).
