Immobilizer self-diagnosis - immobilizer II (variable code)
Establishing PIN
For security reasons, the immobilizer PIN is encoded. The encoded number (PIN = Personal Identification Number) is made up of 7 digits.
The PIN can only be used with the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 as of basic CD version V02.00.
The 7-digit PIN must be obtained by way of the appropriate Regional Sales Centre/importer on the basis of the 14-position immobilizer/engine control unit identification number.
The 14-position immobilizer/engine control unit identification number can be read out with the self-diagnosis function.
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.
The 4- digit PIN can no longer be requested in countries in which the online and fax call procedure has been switched to the 7-digit PIN.
