Generate VW Golf 7 2017 MQB Key with Autel IM508 and iKey

 In this guide, we will walk through the process of generating an MQB48 key for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf 7 instrument cluster using Autel IM508. This method involves repurposing an Autel key into a functional Golf 7 key using a universal key generation tool.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Accessing the Key Generation Menu

• Navigate to the “Universal Key” section and select “Accept.”

• Choose “Europe” as the region and locate Volkswagen in the manufacturer list.

2. Selecting the Correct Model and Platform

• Select “Golf” as the model and set the year to 2017.

• Confirm the platform as MQB.

• The system will display the MQB48 key profile, which operates at 434 MHz with an IMMO type of MQB.

3. Preparing the Donor Key

• Insert the donor key (in this case, an Autel universal ikey) into the programming device.

• Visually verify that the key matches the MQB48 design (as shown on the tool’s reference image).

4. Generating the Key

• Select “Generate Universal Key” to begin the process.

• The tool will flush the XP400 and start programming the key.

• Monitor the progress until completion (approximately halfway, a confirmation message will appear).

5. Verifying the Key

• Once generated, the system will prompt: “Universal key generation is completed. Do you want to continue generation?” Select “No” to finish.

• Test the key by inserting it into the Golf 7’s instrument cluster and reading the chip.

• Confirm that the key is recognized as MQB48 and operates at 434 MHz.

Conclusion

Success! The newly generated MQB48 key is now ready for use in the 2017 Volkswagen Golf 7. This method demonstrates how a universal key system can repurpose non-OEM keys (like hotel keys) for vehicle immobilizer compatibility.

Final Notes:

• Ensure you have legally obtained IMMO data (immobilizer information) before starting.

• Always test the key in the vehicle to confirm functionality.

Autel IM508 Add 2017 Land Rover Discovery Autel iKey via OBD

 Programming a new key for a 2017 Land Rover Discovery can be done efficiently using tools like the Autel IM508, XP400, and Autel iKey. This guide walks you through the process, especially for vehicles without Comfort Access (proximity entry), allowing you to avoid removing the KVM (Key Vehicle Module).

Tools Required

• Autel IM508S (or IM608)

• Autel XP400 Pro (for key generation)

• Autel iKey (universal key)

• Original key (for cloning)

Step-by-Step Key Programming Guide

1. Generate remote using iKey

Select correct option to generate ikey remote.

2. Prepare the Vehicle & Tools

• Ensure the vehicle is off and the original key is available.

• Connect the Autel IM508 to the OBD-II port.

 

3. Access Key Programming Mode

• Navigate to:

  • Land Rover → Control Unit → Keyless System → Key Cloning (not “All Keys Lost”).

• Place the vehicle in the OFF position.

4. Read the Original Key

• Place the original key in the sensing area (usually near the ignition or center console).

  • Note: If skipped, the original key may no longer work after programming.

• Confirm the key is successfully recognized.

5. Program the New Key

• Place the new key in the sensing area for programming.

• Once generated, confirm the process is complete.

6. Test Both Keys

• New Key Test:

  • Ensure the remote lock/unlock functions work.

  • Start the vehicle to confirm proximity detection.

• Original Key Test:

  • Verify it still works (if read correctly in Step 3).

7. Final Checks

• Disconnect the Autel tool.

• Ensure all keys function properly before returning the vehicle.

Important Notes

• This method only works for Discoveries WITHOUT Comfort Access.

• If the vehicle has proximity entry, this process won’t work—you’ll need to remove the KVM.

• Always read the original key first—otherwise, it will be permanently disabled.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can program a new key for a 2017 Land Rover Discovery without removing the KVM, saving time and effort. For vehicles with Comfort Access, a different procedure is required.

I bought these AUTEL Toyota Ikey SMART KEYS, supposedly Low frequency with an L on the part number, but I can only generate 8A keys only, 433 and 315 MHZ no problems, but other key id like 46, 47 , 49, 4A, it gives frequency error, any solution to this?

on this Toyota Cross 4A 2023, it says  “the key type is incorrect. User general low-frequency universal key”.

Solution:

Autel Toyota ikey only supports 8A chip type. Not 46, 47, 49, 4A.

Which Autel Key supports generating 4A Toyota?

The regular cheap plastic grey ones will generate Toyota 4A smart key.
