You will need to get the new code at the dealer/supplier and have your VIN number ready. Here are the instruction on how to replace the ignition switch and ignition key and lock in the
images below.

Faulty Transponder or Lost Key

The transponder is integrated in the ignition key and cannot be replaced separately.

If the transponder is faulty, the entire ignition key or the transmitter must be replaced.

- Order a replacement key through the distributor or importer with the transmitter with the vehicle-specific lock number using the VIN.

Immobilizer Generation 1, 2, 3 and 4:

- Perform in the "Off-board Diagnostic Information System Service" the function "vehicle key adaptation" or "vehicle key, immobilizer programing" from the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

- All vehicle keys must be adapted.

Immobilizer from Generation 5:

- Perform in the "Off-board Diagnostic Information System Service" the "immobilizer, servicing" and adapt the program to the vehicle key in the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

- All vehicle keys must be adapted.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
