Reply With QuoteMate...no matter what..it's going to cost you in the long run...I'd just go to a local auto locksmith and get it done...never mind the dealers...
If you try this on your own..having never done it before...It will cost you !!

2011 Passat B7 - lost key, need to program a new one!
Hey guys,
Somehow, I've managed to lose my Passat key... between my driveway and my house... can't find the thing anywhere so I've given up
I've been searching about for a good few days now, but info regarding programs/equipment needed to get the SKC and program a new key is very sketchy, has anyone programmed a new key for a B7 Passat? I've bought a new key, with a virgin ID48 chip.
I'm not in a position to fork out hundreds on equipment unfortunately, and I can't face going to a dealer and getting my trousers pulled down! But I am very willing to spend the time to learn the process, if anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance

That's what I'm starting to think! But there are so many clones about, I figured that someone may have had the same issue and found something that worked without breaking the bank! Plus... I'm intrigued and don't like being defeated!!

You are stuffed...It's a lot more complicated than what you see on that page,for this generation of Immo...
You're getting into Component Protection...trying to find missing bytes from modules in the car...I hope you can solder well ?
Trust me...forget it..go to the auto locksmith..will be lot cheaper than dealer.....but not cheap either !!Aaahh ! I love the smell of Eeprom in the morning...

Could be cheap
Lots of wannabe locksmiths about undercutting everyone, but the quality of work is questionable with some.
Anyone here close to the OP that can do it?Please DO NOT PM me asking for help.
Post in the forum, that is what it is here for.
