Adapts a replacement immobilizer module (MQB cluster or BCM2). On top of the CS you also need the Component Protection (CP) of both original and replacement, plus the car's power class.
⚠ WarningOnce you see the message that CS or CP has been set successfully, the new values are accepted: if you repeat the procedure, the replacement's CS/CP is now the same as the original's. Synchronise ALL modules fitted to the car (ECU1, TCU on automatics, ELV on keyless, ECU2/ECUs on some high-performance and electric models), otherwise that module will not work.
Procedure
Go to "Immo V adaptation" and select the "Immobilizer (Dash/BCM2)" option.
Enter: CS and CP of the replacement, CS/CP and power class of the original, and tick the modules fitted to the car that need synchronising.
Click "Change".
Connect the PROTAG with a working key and click "OK". The software reads the key.
On A4/A5/Q5 (8K0): enter the CS of the original ECU and click "Continue".
The adaptation runs; once it confirms, click "Continue" and then "Learn key(s)" to learn the key (BCM2 → key in the PROTAG; MQB cluster → key in the ignition barrel or on the coil if keyless).
When key programming is finished, switch the ignition OFF and then ON.
Troubleshooting: "Failed to set component protection" → wrong original CP. "Failed to set component security" → wrong replacement CS. MACs not synchronised → wrong original ECU CS, or modules asleep (wake them up and repeat).
