System Description
The VAG group immobiliser system consists of an immobiliser ECU which controls the recognition of keys and the
Engine Management ECU system.
The Immobiliser ECU enables up to 8 keys to be programmed and are recognised via the transponder aerial mounted
around the Ignition lock.
If the keys are lost or a replacement Engine Management ECU is fitted then the transponder keys will need
programming so that the ECU memories recognise the codes.
Transponder Information
Year 1998-2004
ID 883 MG10
ID RW2 48
Type Megamos Crypto
Min # Keys 1
Max # Keys 8
Key Duplication
The transponder in this key cannot be duplicated with any currently available electronic duplicator.
(New keys must be programmed into the vehicle)
Warning
1. All keys must be present for programming or they will be erased during the programming procedure. Any keys
not programmed during the procedure will have to be reprogrammed.
2. The car dealers can supply the 7 digit pin code that must be converted into 4 digits before use.
3. If the wrong password is entered after three consecutive attempts the immobilizer will lock the ECU. See the
reset procedure for unlocking the ECU.
4. If you get a communication error message during the pin code reading procedure, clear the fault codes and try
again.
5. Check the Common Programming Errors below if you encounter any problems during programming.
Pin Code
Audi & VW models need a PIN Code to complete the key programming. The PIN Code is derived from the 14 digit
Immobiliser Serial Number contained in the ECU and the VIN number of the vehicle.
When communication is achieved between the T-Code/AD100 and the ECU a 14 digit code will be displayed in the
ECU identification menu. This is the 14 digit immobiliser serial number.
It is a good idea to have a working relationship with your local dealer in order to obtain the PIN Codes when necessary
for key programming. The car dealers can supply the 7 digit pin code that must be converted into 4 digits before use.
You will also require the dealers country and workshop/dealer code. Click here to convert your 7 digit code.
This can only be done with the use of an electronic device connected to the vehicle system.
This vehicle system can memorise up to 8 different keys into the system.
The connector is located at the centre of the dash panel by the glove
compartment behind a plastic cover that is pulled down and away from
the dash.

The following are some of the most common areas that cause communication or programming errors/failures. Please
check these first if you encounter any errors.
The EKA code (same 4 digit pin code used for programming ) allows you to enable and disable the immobiliser system
even without a programmed key or without a transponder.
This emergency procedure enables you to start the engine only if the engine doesn’t start because of an immobiliser
problem.
If the procedure is interrupted or not done properly, you must do it again. That’s why it is important to read and
understand properly the procedure.
This procedure must be done for each starting:
turn ignition OFF and repeat the procedure). The vehicle can now be started.
Resetting Procedure
If the wrong password is entered after three consecutive attempts the immobilizer will lock the ECU.
Insert key and leave ON for a minimum of 35 minutes to reset (ensuring battery does not go flat during this time).
