Step-by-step guide
to key programming
» » HICKLEYS, THE SPECIALISTS IN
vehicle key programming, will be running
a series of key programming step-by-step
guides in each issue of the magazine
during 2017.
In this second issue, we are detailing
the necessary steps required to complete
the key and remote programming on an
Audi A3 2003 – 2009 with 8P chassis.
This vehicle uses an ID48 Audi canbus
transponder with pre-coded data and
requires a security pin code to access the
programming section of the vehicles on
board electronics.
When this vehicle was launched, the
extra protection of the security system
pin code combined with the special pre-
coded transponder made this vehicle one
of the more difficult vehicles to program,
however, today there are a variety of
solutions that make key programming
quick and easy to achieve.
Until recently, it was not possible to
clone this transponder. However with
recent breakthroughs this is now possible
using a variety of cloning machines and
sniff systems.
It is possible to program a genuine
dealer Remote key ordered by VIN number,
an aftermarket remote key, an emulator
remote key (Keydiy) or just a bladed key.
When using a dealer remote key, it will
come pre-coded and it is not necessary to
find the precoding information, on all other
applications it will be necessary to write
the precoding data to the new transponder
bef ore programming.
In this example, we will be using the
Advanced Diagnostics MVPPRO with
Smart Dongle and Smart Aerial.
TIP: When precoding keep all working
keys away from the vehicle. Always read
the new transponder first as there are 4
different VAG canbus transponders.
Audi A3 2006 (8P)
Precoding an Audi can bus transponder
with the Smart Dongle (ADC240) and
Smart Aerial (ADC242). You don’t need
a working key and you can pre-code an
aftermarket remote or a non-remote key.
