    PIN retrieval for immobilizer key adaptation

    I need my pin for performing a new spare key immobilizer adaptation. I have obdeleven but missing the PIN.

    The dealer can't/won't help.

    It appears that VAG-TACHO can retrieve the PIN from the Kombiinstrument/cluster. Is this correct? And who had a VAG-TACHO in/around Brisbane and wants a six pack?

    Any help much appreciated.

    In Passats the immobilizer is in the CCM behind the glovebox, not in the instrument cluster like in a Golf.
    You need to read out the EEPROM in the CCM to decrypt the PIN.
    I think that AVDI or FVDI MIGHT be able do this over the OBD2 port, but its possible that you need to read it directly from the CCM EEPROM dump, should be some info online.

    Thanks @kamold!

    It's super annoying that VW won't supply the immobiliser PIN to the owner of the car. All these convoluted hoops to jump through just to add a new key. Not a wonder locksmiths are charing like $300.. Not sure what VW charge for a genuine key, but the programming is $82 up here in Brisvegas.

    This looks promising but

    I’m sure that many Automotive locksmiths can do it cheaper than a dealer.
    I can do it for you, if you ever passing Adelaide.

    Which part of Sydney are you in? Can you help retrieve the PIN from a golf GTI Mk5 2008 to adapt a second key? Happy to pay for your time.
