Volkswagen immobiliser systems — what you need to know
Technical notes on VW key programming
- IMMO3 / IMMO4 (1998-2011): first generations of VW immobiliser, using MEGAMOS Crypto transponders. Easy programming via OBD with a PIN.
- IMMO5 (2009-2014): CAN-based immobiliser on Golf VI, Polo V. Requires component security and online seed-key calculation.
- MQB platform (2012+): the dominant VW Group platform. Uses ID47 / ID48 transponders. Each new key needs MQB-compatible tooling and online security access — DKP technicians have the required subscriptions.
- KESSY (Keyless): antenna network across the vehicle pairs the proximity key. Each new keyless remote is calibrated to the antennas.
- MEB platform (ID range): latest electric architecture. Uses online connection to the manufacturer's server to validate new keys — DKP is set up for it.

Volkswagen key replacement — FAQ
How long does a Volkswagen key replacement take?
A standard VW key (Polo, Golf VII, Tiguan) takes 45 to 90 minutes on-site. MQB platform vehicles with ID48 / ID47 transponders take a little longer, up to 2 hours including key learning and synchronisation.
Can DKP make a VW key without the original?
Yes. DKP reads the immobiliser data on-site to generate a new key from scratch, even on MQB platform Volkswagens. No need to leave your car at a dealer for several days.
What is the MQB platform?
MQB (Modularer Querbaukasten) is the modular platform used by VW Group from 2012 onwards across Golf VII, Tiguan, Passat, Polo VI and many Audi, Seat and Skoda models. It uses the MEGAMOS / ID47 / ID48 transponder family with encrypted key learning.
Does DKP work on Volkswagen ID electric models?
Yes. We replace and programme keys for the full VW ID range: ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.7 and ID. Buzz. The key system is based on the MEB platform and requires the latest diagnostic tools, which DKP carries as standard.
