How to use Launch X431 IMMO Plus add new key to VW instrument cluster

This tutorial demonstrates how to program a new key for Volkswagen instrument clusters, such as the 2013 VW Jetta flip key, using the Launch X431 IMMO Plus or IMMO Elite tool. The process utilizes a pogo pin and plug-in connection, bypassing the need to read data directly from the chip.

Follow these steps to complete the key programming:

1. Connect the pogo cable to the three yellow ports on the X-Prog3 (DB26 connector).
2. Carefully review the connection images below to ensure accurate setup.

User Feedback:

The pogo cable is correctly attached to the Launch X-Prog3 yellow ports. By holding the probe on the boot point during cluster power-up, the device enters service mode, enabling immobilizer data access. After reading the data, the key was successfully programmed with the ignition on using the "Dealer Key" feature.

Note:

Handle pogo pins with care to avoid data corruption or issues with cluster functions like the clock. Always verify pin connections and follow established guidelines.
