Touchclone™ VAG Group ID48 Pre-Coding
Touchclone™
There are three types of immobilisers on VAG cars that use three distinct types of ID48 transponders:
1. ID48
2. ID48 CAN (Audi/Seat/Skoda/VW)
3. ID48 CAN (Audi/Seat/Skoda/VW) Precoded
The ID48 precoding section of TouchClone allows you to program the latest type (type 3) to the customer's
vehicle by writing vehicle specific data to the transponder. This vehicle specific data is known as Component
Security and is designed to prevent the ECU, immobiliser and transponder being switched between vehicles.
In order to get the data to write to the transponder we recommend you use OBD equipment - at present we
support datasets from units manufactured by both Advanced Diagnostics and Abrites. The OBD equipment will
present the component security data you need on screen.
On some of the newest vehicles the OBD equipment can only pull 6 of the 7 bytes needed to write to the key. In
order to get round this you have to manually go through the 256 possibilities.
Once you've obtained the 6/7 bytes fill in the details on this screen. You must then insert an ID48 CAN
transponder for the make of vehicle you're working on. For example, a key for a VW Golf 2011 MUST have an
ID48 VW CAN transponder inserted – an ID48 AUDI CAN will not work.
NB. The data obtained from AD equipment is encrypted and you must check the 'From AD' box should you
be using data from an AD unit.
