In this guide, we’ll walk through a complete "all keys lost” procedure on a 2017 VW Polo equipped with the MQB system, using two professional tools: the OBDStar X300 Classic G3 and the Yanhua Mini ACDP with the MQB Module.
Vehicle Overview
Model: 2017 VW Polo
System: MQB
Transmission: Automatic (DQ200 gearbox)
Key Type: Bladed key (non-proximity)
ECU Type: Bosch MED7.5.25
*This procedure applies to many MQB-platform VWs and Audis with similar setups. Always ensure you have the latest software updates on both devices and work methodically.
Tools Required
OBDStar X300 Classic G3 with ECU license
Yanhua ACDP with MQB Module 33/Module 34(RH850/V850)
MP001 and P004 adapters
OBDSTAR 5 in 1 ECM-001 solder free cable
Yanhua ACDP MQB79 interface board
External power supply
Soldering equipment (optional, if not using ACDP)
Aftermarket or original key to be programmed
The benefit of this bundle (OBDSTAR G3+ Yanhua ACDP)=
- Yanhua ACDP offers a solder-free read for the instrument cluster, saving time and reducing risk.
- OBDStar G3 handles ECU and transmission reads, sync code calculation, dealer key generation, and key learning.
Main procedure:
1. Decode key lock
2. Remove necessary modules
3. Read ECU module data
4. Read cluster immo data
5. Read gearbox TCU data
6. Calculate sync data
7. Make dealer key
8. Learn key
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Physical Key Preparation
Before any electronic work begins, the lock must be picked and decoded to cut a new key blade. This allows the ignition to turn, which is essential for the programming process.
Time estimate: ~15 minutes
Step 2: Remove Necessary Modules
Because this is an MQB system with an automatic transmission, three modules must be read:
- Instrument Cluster (dashboard)
- ECU (Engine Control Unit)
- TCM (Transmission Control Module – DQ200)
NOTE: If it is a smart key, an additional ELV CS code is required.
Accessing the Modules:
- Instrument Cluster: Two screws and one connector. Remove the rear cover to access the microprocessor.
- ECU: Located near the engine bay area. Easily accessible with minimal disassembly.
- Transmission Module: Accessible after removing the air pipe. No major components need to be removed.
Time estimate: 5–15 minutes per module.
Step 3: Read the ECU – Using OBDStar G3
Navigate to: Immobilizer Menu > Car Europe > VW Audi > MQB Dashboard> All Keys Lost
Select Read IMMO Module Data.
Select Blade key type and Automatic transmission.
Choose Read ECM Immo data.
Select ECU type: MED17.5.25. Choose bench mode with MP001.
G3 will show you bench wiring diagram.
Connect ECU with MP001 and G3 follow the diagram.
If you haveOBDSTAR ECM-001cable, the connection will be easier. Connect the MP001 adapter to the ECU using the dedicated MED17.5.25 connector.
Read ECU info and detect chip ID.
Select Advanced Functions >Read IMMO Data
The tool will read both the EEPROM and flash file from the ECU. Once complete, the CS code (Component Security code) is displayed and saved.
Select Advanced Functions >IMMO Data Decryption.
Upload EEPROM and flash file from the ECU to decrypt IMMO data, then save file.
Hit Disconnect.
Note: The flash file read takes approximately 5–6 minutes due to its size.
Step 4: Read the Instrument Cluster – Using ACDP (No Soldering Required)
The ACDP offers a solder-free alternative to reading the cluster.
Identify the microprocessor on the cluster’s rear: D70F3526
On the ACDP, go to: VW > VW MQB IMMO(ODO)> MQB48 (VDO/JCI-NEX35xx Lock)> ICP Read Dashboard
Select the chip type: D70F3526
Use the help menu to match the correct interface board – MQB79.
Attach the MQB79 board to the cluster according to the diagram.
Connect the ACDP power adapter and run pin detection.
Read the chip data – the tool will automatically save backup files.
Navigate to IMMO > Obtain IMMO Data and load the recently read data.
The ACDP will calculate and display the CS code from the instrument cluster. Save this information.
Time estimate: ~10–15 minutes for the bench read.
Step 5: Read the Transmission – Using OBDStar G3 with P004 Adapter
In G3 go to MQB- AKL function. Select automatic transmission andRead TCM Immo data.
Select gearbox type: DQ200.
Connect the 7-in-1 TCM cable to the DQ200 transmission module.
Attach the P004 adapter (or MP001) to the OBDStar G3.
Set the dip switches according to the on-screen guide.
Power the unit and run ECU Info to verify communication.
Go to Advanced Functions > IMMO Data Decryption.
Read and save the transmission’s CS code.
Time estimate: ~10–15 minutes
Step 6: Calculate the Sync Code
Now that you have CS codes from all three modules, it’s time to calculate the sync code—the critical piece of data that allows dealer key generation.
On the OBDStar G3, go toCalculate Sync Code.
Select Bladed Key and confirm modules: Dashboard, ECM, TCM.
Input or load the CS codes from each module:
- Dashboard CS (from Yanhua ACDP)
- ECM CS (from ECU read)
- Transmission CS (from TCM read)
The tool will calculate and display the sync code.
Save this file for the next step.
Step 7: Make a Dealer Key
On the OBDStar G3, return to the immo menu and selectMake Dealer Key.
Load the dashboard IMMO data or input the CS code.
Load the previously calculated sync code.
Place a new blank key into the induction coil.
The tool will program the blank into a dealer key.
Dealer key success message confirms completion.
Step 8: Learn the Key to the Vehicle
With the dealer key made, it’s time to program it to the car.
Reinstall all modules (ECU, instrument cluster, transmission).
On the OBDStar, go to Program Keys.
Input the dashboard CS code again.
Set key quantity to 1 (since all keys are lost)
Select Bladed Key.
Follow on-screen instructions:
Open the hood.
Insert the key into the ignition.
Turn ignition on when prompted.
The dashboard will display: Key mode 0 of 1 -Key mode 1 of 1
Wait for Learn complete message.
Step 9: Verify Functionality
Central locking: Test with the remote – should work immediately.
Engine start: Turn the key – the immobilizer warning should disappear, and the engine should start.
Dashboard warning lights: No immo-related warnings should remain.
Total Job Time Breakdown
| Task | Estimated Time |
|---|---|
| Pick and decode lock / cut key | 15 minutes |
| Access transmission module | 15 minutes |
| Access ECU | 5–10 minutes |
| Remove instrument cluster | 5–6 minutes |
| Bench work (reading modules) | ~30 minutes |
| Reassembly | 10–15 minutes |
| Key generation and learning | 10 minutes |
Total:Approximately1.5 to 2 hours– very achievable for a skilled technician.
Key Takeaways
- MQB all-keys-lost requires reading three modules on automatic vehicles: ECU, cluster, and transmission. If it is a proximity system, you will also need to read ELV module data. OBDSTAR also has quickELV data collectoradapter to read data easily.
- ACDP offers a solder-free read for the instrument cluster, saving time and reducing risk.
- OBDStar G3 handles ECU and transmission reads, sync code calculation, dealer key generation, and key learning.
- Always save backup files and take photos of CS codes for reference.
- With the right tools and methodical approach, this job is far less intimidating than it may seem.
Final Thoughts
The combination of OBDStar G3 and ACDP Module 33/34 makes MQB all-keys-lost jobs significantly more accessible. Using ACDP for the instrument cluster saves soldering time, while the G3 handles sync calculation and key learning efficiently.

Here we share a user’s experience with cloning the BMW FEM module.
Cloned a BMW FEM module withXhorse vvdi key tool plusandGodiag FEM/BDC test platformon bench. The fault was left indicator didn’t worked.
So finally cloning was done, car starts but same problem. These BMWs when it’s registered short circuit too many times its permanently disable them.
The problem was the module detected short circuit too many times, and because of that it’s disabled the indicator. It prevents from damage of lights.
There is a short circuit reset option on diagnostic, but not working. Reset didn’t worked on two good diagnostics (Launch X431 and Autel), so last idea was to restore the Donor original eeprom, then of course needed to coded everything to start car and now everything work perfectly.

Question: What’s the difference between Autel MX900 and MP900 diagnostic scanners?
I need something to read codes and do special functions on Corvettes 1997-2026.
Any advice on what to purchase?
Here is the clue.
The Autel MaxiCheck MX900 and MaxiPro MP900 are both 8-inch Android 11-based diagnostic tablets from Autel’s 900 series (released around 2023–2024). They share very similar hardware and core diagnostic capabilities but differ primarily in software features, with the MP900 offering more advanced capabilities typical of the higher-tier MaxiPro line.

Autel’s 900 series represents a significant upgrade over previous generations (like the 808 series) with faster processors, more memory, Android 11, better screens, longer battery life, and support for modern protocols like DoIP and CAN FD. The MX900 and MP900 sit at different points in this lineup: the MX900 as a capable MaxiCheck model and the MP900 as a more powerful MaxiPro option.
Hardware: Nearly Identical
Both devices feature the same robust platform: an 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen, quad-core 1.8 GHz processor, 4GB RAM + 64GB storage (expandable), 7700 mAh battery, 8 MP camera, and dual-band Wi-Fi. They are built for shop use with solid build quality, responsive interfaces, and reliable performance for daily diagnostics. The main practical similarity is the wired connection via the main cable, which is reliable but less convenient than wireless BT models for some users.
Software and Features: Where They Diverge
Core functions overlap heavily—full-system scans, bi-directional controls, live data graphing, and dozens of service resets (oil, EPB, SAS, DPF, TPMS basic relearn, etc.). Both handle Pre/Post scans well for shop workflows and support wide vehicle coverage up to recent model years.
The MP900 stands out with professional-grade features:
ECU Coding & Online Coding:Allows coding for modules on brands like BMW, VW, Audi, Porsche—essential for post-repair adaptations or feature enabling.
Guided Functions:Step-by-step assistance for complex procedures on European vehicles.
Hidden Feature Activation / Refresh:Unlock or modify hidden options in vehicle systems.
Slightly broader and deeper vehicle coverage with more comprehensive service options in practice.
The MX900 lacks these advanced coding/guided capabilities, positioning it as a strong all-systems + service tool without the premium programming depth.
Who Should Buy Which?
Choose the MX900if you need a reliable, cost-effective scanner for most daily tasks: code reading/clearing, active tests, service resets, and modern protocol support. Ideal for independent shops, general mechanics, or those on a budget who don’t frequently need ECU coding on premium European vehicles. It’s an excellent step up from older models like the MX808.
Choose the MP900if you work on a wider range of vehicles (especially European) and require ECU coding, guided functions, or hidden feature access. It’s better for advanced diagnostics and will future-proof your workflow for more complex repairs. The extra cost is justified for professionals handling diverse or high-end vehicles.
Both come with 1 year of free updates (extendable). Always verify the latest coverage on Autel’s site or with your dealer, as software evolves. Consider your specific vehicle mix, workflow needs, and budget—many users find the MX900 sufficient for the majority of jobs, while the MP900 excels in specialized scenarios.

We would like to share an issue and its solution regarding a 2022 Peugeot 208 4A smart key failing to start the vehicle after key programming. We hope this helps others who encounter the same problem.
Problem:
2022 Peugeot 208 smart key 4A tried to add a key withAutel MaxiIM IM508key programmer. Everything went smoothly, read pin ok and add smart key. It said to turn off emergency indicators after 30 minutes. Did add key 30 min and both keys stopped working. Both keys won’t start.
Solution:
After programming key there’s a 30 min wait before you can start car, wait until hazard stop flashing before trying to start.
30 min waiting time. common on those vehicles just wait.
Autel worked well. He got pin code, pin code is good because he erase original keys (he enter in programmong procedure), and he didn’t program any key to car (because that hazard lights iliminate constant, because there is no any key programmed).
He missed spot for key programming, or key sense area is not working.
Added AKL key 30 min waiting with the turn signals that turn on itself.
Feedback:
Came back the next day and went to control unit and keyless system(can). Added anotherkeydiy zb smart key. Did learning for the proximity functions once the key was added on the sense area by holding the lock button for 10 seconds.
