I am having a nightmare of a time trying to readapt my keys to my 2012 VW Passat with VCDS.
Both fobs desynced from the car when I disconnected the battery for a long period of time. I followed the manual and that didn't work at all. The thing is that the the panic button works on both fobs, so all the wireless connectivity to the car from the fob works, the lock buttons don't. So with VCDS, I tried following the relearn procedure under the 09 module. So I cleared the learned parameters, power cycled the car, and then set the relearn to 2, because I had 2 fobs. I pressed the unlock button on each one for a few seconds within the 15 second window after hitting test. It didn't work. I tried it quite a few times. As soon as I would hit done, VCDS would freeze, as in unresponsive for 10 minutes. Mind you, the car is still driveable, just keyless entry doesn't work. Both fobs have new batteries. This is my autoscan, and the only faults that show up are not related to keyless entry. I do also have a debug mode log but I am not sure if it was done correctly.

Also something to keep in mind is that this car hasn't seen a dealer in about a decade, barring recall work. I am not sure if it has old firmware on various modules or not. I would assume so?

EDIT:
Basically the reason why the fobs got desynced was that the battery was disconnected due to the ignition cylinder basically eating my key (it was stuck in the on position). It did this 2 days before I could give the car to my mechanic to actually replace it with a new cylinder.

Unless if the ignition cylinder itself counts as a module, then yes. But according to my mechanic, the fobs didn't work before he worked on the car.

(I forgot to put why I was in this situation in the post. Basically VW Mk5/Mk6 ignition cylinder moment, my key got stuck 2 days before I could take it in to the mechanic.)

No thats pretty basic would not count as a module.

That's what I figured. I am very confused on why it locks up VCDS on this specific part of the module. Other settings within the module save correctly and stay.

That almost sound like the BCM is on the way out since it freezes via diagnostics but the next time you have it parked in a location where it isn't going to cause issues I'd unplug all 3 connectors on the BCM, give it a few minutes, look inside the connectors for signs of any issues and then reconnect it. That control unit is near the OBD connector but I don't recall if they put any covers in the way on the NMS.

If the BCM reboot doesn't help try scanning it again to make sure it still communicates and see if factory mode is disabled. That's Adaptation channel 019 and 0 = Factory-Mode inactive

Outside of that the only long-shot idea I haves is re-coding address 09 back to the same value that's already stored.

Factory mode was disabled when I checked. It doesn't freeze via diagnostics, it freezes during coding. I was afraid that the BCM was dying.

BCM replacement can be done. I can assist as I do provide a service for such repairs if needed.

I see. But I do want to confirm that the BCM is actually on it's way out compared to something that is fixable here. Also the car is currently at the mechanics for an inspection, so I will update this post accordingly.

Question, Does your steering wheel lock when you remove key?
And also when you open door does it make dig,dig sound when key is out of the ignition?

Yeah, I just noticed Marin's email feedback on different NMS (that we were dealing with via email a few weeks ago) and came here to suggest that! He already found this thread and made that suggestion which is great.

That would be the most likely explanation since this all started when the steering column malfunctioned. If the ignition position always reads Accessory or S-Contact mode, and the lock isn't locked, then Panic may be the only remote function by design.
