Most VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat cars after 2009 with VDO NEC clusters all keys lost can be done with Autel IM508/IM608/IM608 Pro via dump using APA102 clip adapter no soldering. It is like 10 minutes job. Really quick.
Read immo data, enter service mode, make dealer key, backup ABS, write original eeprom via obd, all of these steps were done while in the car without the need of any other tools.
Use this information at your own risk.
Procedure:
Remove instrument cluster
Auto detect cluster type: VDO NEC+24C64

Write EEPROM via Programmer
Write EEPROM via OBD
Read IMMO Data
Make Dealer Key
KEY Learning
Recover ABS Code
Backup ABS code finished
Connect APA103 clip adapter with xp400 pro and cluster NEC24C64 chip

Write eeprom data via programmer
Power off the programmer, remove the 24C64 EEPROM and install it to the instrument panel
Connect the OBD connector, turn on ignition and press OK
Entering programming mode, it may takes a long time
Write EEPROM data via OBD successfully
Reading immo data
Start making dealer key
Place a new blank key into XP400 key slot
Start key learning
Turn on the ignition switch
Autel IM508 asks if the car has smart key, here we press No
Input the number of key you need to learn
Key learning completed
Turn off ignition, wait for 5s and then turn on the ignition
Finally recover ABS coding. ABS coding has been recovered and working fine.
Reinstall cluster back to vehicle and test the new key.
Done.
FYI: If don’t want to remove dash, much easier way is to add remote to car using xhorse key. Then clone the key. ID48 clone it by xhorse key tool max. JOB DONE. No clocks remove. I.e 2010 Golf Plus.
