Establishing PIN
Establishing PIN
t  For security reasons, the immobilizer PIN is encoded. The encoded number (PIN = Personal Identification Number) is made up of 7 digits.
t  The PIN can only be used in combination with the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.
t  The 7-digit PIN must be obtained by way of the appropriate regional sales centre/importer on the basis of the 14-digit immobilizer/engine control unit identification number.
t  The 14-position immobilizer/engine control unit identification number can be read out with the self-diagnosis function.
t  The PIN is only valid for one day, after which a new number has to be requested. The PIN is of no use to the customer or other dealerships.
t  The 4-digit PIN can no longer be requested in countries in which the online and fax request procedure has been switched to the 7-digit PIN.
