Key learning in guided mode (Wizard Mode)

VAG Interface Classic Keys / Immo Medium ⏱ 20-45 min 6 steps

Wizard mode carries out most of the key learning operations automatically, walking the operator through step by step. It is the alternative to standard mode whenever automatic detection works.

⚠ WarningWith "Learn keys" every key not present at the time stops working: if you want to keep the keys that are not to hand, use "Add One Key" where supported.

Procedure

  1. Open the "Key learning" special function and choose wizard mode.
  2. The software tries to detect the vehicle model automatically; if it cannot, a message appears and you have to select it manually.
  3. Choose the function to run from those available for that vehicle type (one or more will be listed, with a hint on what each means at the bottom of the window): "Learn keys" learns all available keys and disables those not present; "Add One Key" adds a key to the existing count while leaving keys that are not present working; "Prepare dealer key" prepares the pre-coded key, which is mandatory before "Learn keys" on vehicles that only accept pre-coded keys.
  4. For key learning enter the Login code (PIN): it can be read out automatically, extracted from a dump, or typed in manually if already known.
  5. Once the Login is available press "Next": the information window appears with the key recognition and engine start conditions (the same fields described in standard mode).
  6. Check the conditions and carry on with the learning procedure following the wizard prompts.
