Step-by-Step Process

1. Setting Up the Bench Test

• The instrument cluster is powered at11.7Vto simulate the car’s ignition.

• TheGoDiag GT110is used to control the ignition state (on/off).

2. Selecting the Vehicle in Xtool IP900

• Navigate toSpecial Functions > Immobilizer.

• ChooseVolkswagen > Golf (1K, up to 2014).

• Select theNEC+ 24C32immobilizer type.

3. Reading the EEPROM Data

• The tool prompts toturn the ignition on(simulated via the bench setup).

• The EEPROM data is successfully read and saved.

4. Making a Dealer Key

• TheXtool IP900requires theKC501 adapter.

• AVVDI Super Chipis placed in the adapter and converted to a48-chip(VW-specific transponder).

• The tool confirms the chip is successfully programmed as alocked, clonable dealer key.

5. Key Learning Process

• Unlike other tools (e.g., IM50 , theXtool IP900 does not require entering a PIN or CS code, making the process faster.

• The key is learned successfully, and the transponder data is verified again using theVVDI toolto confirm cloning compatibility.

6. Cloning the Key

• A secondVVDI Super Chipis converted to a48-chip.

• The cloned key is created and verified—both keys now have identical transponder data.
