Background:
I acquired a 2005 V8 Phaeton a few months ago which had been sitting for more than 2 years. There was significant water infiltration into the cabin. It had only one key, that was stuck in the ignition. I was able to get into the trunk and charge the batteries. Once I connected the batteries the starter engaged, and I immediately knew I had a Kessy issue. I removed it and sure enough it had drowned, and the circuitry was corroded. I was able to remove the key from the ignition. The drowned Kessy (3D0 909 137Gx) is a refurbished Continental. I searched for a replacement and found some with the suffix 137G, but they were rather expensive. Not wanting to spend several hundred dollars on a matching number unit, I decided to try a salvage unit from a 2004 V8 (3D0 909 135M) Siemens VDO, which I got for $125 with shipping. Both the drowned, and donor Kessy, are for keyless entry vehicles.
I was able to obtain the SKC/PIN #s for both units. I installed the donor unit and used VCDS to do the Kessy swapping procedure. Everything seemed to go well with the swap. I was able to use the SKCs to get the donor Kessy accepted by the car; both the VIN and IMMO were transferred into the donor Kessy.
When I inserted the key into the ignition, I did not get the click/clank that I was expecting, and the center dash screen displayed a key with IMMOBIL. ACTIVATED. I then used VCDS to do the key matching procedure. After completing it I am still getting the same screen, and I cannot get the ignition to turn on when I turn the key to the right.
I was able to do a scan (attached) that did not retrieve all of the addresses but might be helpful to find a solution. I don't have a complete history of this car so I'm not sure if other issues may be preventing the swap and/or matching. The Security Status is listed at the bottom of the Auto-scan.
Any guidance or suggestions are welcome.
BTW...I'm a noobie and I don't think I posted my scan correctly. Please bear with me.
