Emergency Engine Start Procedure for Audi and Volkswagen

PIN CODE REQUIRED from Dealer

A vehicle with a defective or faulty anti theft immobilizer system can be started using the Emergency Start Function.

Important facts to remember:

1. You can make 3 attempts to enter the secret number before you will be locked out for 10 minutes.
2. The waiting time for each set of attempts doubles and the trip odometer counter will display the word "FAIL".
3. You cannot wait longer than 30 seconds to move from one step to the next during the input of the Secret Code.
4. The Emergency Start Function will deactivate if the vehicle has been shut off and key removed for more than 5 minutes.
5. The Emergency Start Function will stay active, for 45 minutes, with the vehicle shut off as long as you do not remove the ignition key from the ignition lock.

You must have the "Secret Number"(pin code) or a dealer device know as the VAG will have to be hooked up to the vehicle.

• A non transponder key with the correct mechanical cuts will have to be made.
• Insert key into the ignition and turn the switch to the "Run" position.
• Twist the setting knob for the Clock, which is located on the instrument cluster, in the clockwise direction while at the same time pressing the reset button for the Trip Odometer Counter.
• The Odometer counter should have all zero's and the first zero should be blinking.
• To set the first number, press the reset button for the trip odometer until the first number of your Secret Code appears. So if the first number is a 7, then the odometer counter should read "7000".
• Twist the setting nob for the Clock to advance to the next digit and enter the digit by pressing the reset button of the trip odometer counter.
• Once you have entered all the secret numbers, twist the setting knob for the Clock in the clockwise direction while at the same time pressing the reset button for the Trip Odometer Counter.
• If the Secret Number was entered correctly, the trip odometer counter will display the trip mileage again, as before you started and the warning light for the anti theft immobilizer stays lit.
• Switch off the ignition switch and then back on to start the vehicle.
