Any chance I can use VCDS to "marry" a new key to our '04 Touareg?
It's done everything else I've asked of it.
Long story short, someone busted the left rear passenger window yesterday and stole a binder which had a key, not for the VW but for our volvo. It brought to light that we have only one key for each car (story of my life).
At this very moment there is what looks to be a brand new Touareg key on eBay. It is a blank blade but previously used "fob" (dying to know where that word came from). The ad states that you'd need the key to be reprogrammed.
First off, is the dude huffing paint? Can a previously used key be re-purposed?
Second, can VCDS be used to initiate a key to my ECU?
If the above two questions are "no joy" then what should I expect to be reamed for at a stealership?
