How to Adapt the Remote Programming Key for a Volkswagen Transporter T5 Using VDCS?

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T5, MK 5 - Years 2003-2014
Part: Key

Let's see how to adapt the remote programming key for the Volkswagen Transporter T5 using the VDCS system. Connect it via cable to the EOBD socket. Turn on the ignition and then click on "select" from the laptop. Unfortunately, the procedure is not straightforward, as in some cases you need to select channel 46 central, and in others channel 09 central; you may need to try different options to find the correct procedure for your key, hoping to get it right on the first attempt. Then click on remote adaptation, key count (for example) 02, and then click save. Now press the button on the remote. On the laptop, click done! You can go back, and your key is programmed.
