		lttlrck on March 6, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why I think Tesla is building throwaway cars Actually you do need to go to a VW dealer to get a new key paired to the immobilizer. It's been that way since at least 2002. Edit: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/key-and-remote-replacement... Tldr: You need the SKC to do it, only VW knows what the SKC is. Or you can hack the immobilizer.
