Ignition Keys, Matching To Radio Wave Remote Control


NOTE:
- If new or additional ignition keys are required they must be matched to the immobilizer and convenience system control electronics.
- The matching procedure must always be carried out for all the ignition keys, including the existing ones.
- The number of keys already matched will be displayed when the adaptation (matching) function is selected.
- With the introduction of this generation of convenience system it is possible to program additional functions. The functions and the programming are described. Radio Wave Remote Control Function Variations (Convenience)
- The matching can be interrupted with the "C" key of the VAG 1551.
