Autel IM608 Program VW Jetta 24C64 All Keys Lost with Godiag GT110

How to successfully program new keys for a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Continental NEC24C64 cluster after all keys were lost. The process utilizes the Autel IM608 PRO II tablet and the Godiag GT110/GT115 VW bench platform to interface directly with the vehicle’s instrument cluster.

 

Initial Setup and Connection

We begin by accessing the vehicle’s immobilizer system through the Autel IM608. Using the automatic selection feature, the tool identifies the correct control unit. Since this is an all-keys-lost scenario, the Gbox (likely a component of the bench setup) is used to enter service mode on the cluster.

A critical step involves identifying the correct pogo pin connection point on the back of the instrument cluster. We notes that while the Gbox provides a diagram, the specific Jetta cluster differs from the illustration.

Entering Service Mode and Reading Data

With the correct pin located, the process begins:

Power off the cluster using the silver button.

Hold the pogo pin down on the designated contact point.

Press the silver power button and listen for a click, indicated by a flashing light, confirming the cluster is in service mode.

Keeping the pin held, we presses “OK” on the Autel, initiating communication. The cluster screen goes black, and data reading begins.

Once the data is read back successfully, a screenshot is taken to record the CS code for future reference.

Make Dealer Key

Using two “vvdi super chips,” the technician proceeds to generate keys:

The first chip is placed in the programming coil.

Using the Autel’s “Make Dealer Key” function, the first key is successfully generated.

The process is repeated with the second chip using the “Make Another Dealer Key” function, resulting in two programmed transponder chips.

Learn Key

The first chip is placed in the ignition coil.

We navigate to the “Key Learning” function on the Autel, confirming it is not a smart key, and indicates that two keys will be learned.

Following the on-screen prompts, we use the red ignition button. The first key is learned, indicated by a blue flashing light.

The first chip is removed, the second is inserted, and the process is repeated. The ignition is cycled off and on, and the blue light confirms the second key is learned.

The system confirms “Key learning complete.”

After exiting the programming mode by pressing the red button in a specific sequence (counting to five), the cluster returns to normal operation. The job is complete, and we note that once the physical keys are cut and the cluster is reinstalled in the car, it will start immediately.

Autel IM508 Add Ford F-350 2020 Blade Key

The customer arrived with two problems. First, their original key had snapped off in the ignition—a stressful situation for any driver. Second, they had purchased a replacement key online, hoping it could be made to work.

Aftermarket keys from online sources can be hit-or-miss, but in this case, the key would serve as a template for cutting a new, properly functioning blade.

 

Step 1: Cutting the New Key

Using his Xhorse Dolphin XP005 key cutting equipment, the locksmith began the process by selecting optical identification for the key. While the vehicle was an F-350, he noted that “they’re all the same as far as keys” and selected the F-150 profile.

The machine decoded the customer’s provided key and verified it against valid key codes. With the code confirmed and recorded, he had successfully created a mechanically cut key blank. But on a modern vehicle, a correctly cut blade is only half the battle.

The Programming Challenge: 2020 Model Year Hurdles

With the physical key ready, he turned to his Autel IM508 key programming tool. After navigating through the immobilizer menu and selecting automatic vehicle identification, he chose “2020 to 2022-  Blade key” and began the immobilizer status scan.

Choose Add key (guided).

The process required an internet connection—common with modern vehicles that have enhanced security features—but came with reassuring news: “Will not erase. That’s good. We don’t want to erase anything.”

Then came the familiar waiting game. “Please wait 10 minutes.”

The Moment of Truth

After the required wait time and following the on-screen prompts to cycle the ignition, the system returned with good news: “Learning successful.”

But there was a moment of tension when attempting to start the vehicle. “It says no key detected, but it took it,” he noted. Then, with a turn of the key, the engine roared to life.

“And there she goes,” he confirmed as the F-350 started successfully.

Remote Functionality Check

With the engine running, he moved on to testing the remote functions. Lock and unlock operations worked properly, confirming that both the immobilizer chip and remote entry functions were successfully programmed.

A Valuable Lesson in Tool Selection

Perhaps the most instructive part of this service call came when he revealed his initial attempt. “I did try the top down first and it did say only up to 2019 and it did not work.”

Many programming tools have limitations, and knowing those boundaries is crucial. By recognizing that his first approach wouldn’t work for a 2020 model, he pivoted to the IM508, which specifically supported adding a key to the 2020 F-350.

“So this being a 2020, we’re glad that worked,” he explained. “We didn’t have to pull out our computer software to do the other Ford software, which saves us a little bit of time and money.”

 

Key Takeaways for Vehicle Owners

This real-world service call highlights several important points for Ford owners:

Keep spare keys functional – A broken key in the ignition creates immediate problems, but having a backup can save time and money.

Online keys may require professional adaptation – While you can purchase blanks online, they still need proper cutting and programming by a professional with the right equipment.

Model year matters – Even within the same vehicle line, 2019 and 2020 models may require different programming approaches.

Patience is part of the process – Modern vehicle security systems often require waiting periods during programming to prevent unauthorized key copying.

Autel IM508 Program 2023 Nissan Versa Smart Key via OBD

It’s a Nissan Versa 2023 with smart key.  2023 nissan versa smart key confirmed 20 digit pin Autel IM508 can do no problem, no bypass cable, lots of videos of blade key but none of new style smart key. Has black start button and manual shift lever.

Autel said 20 digit pin supported no bypass cable. The 40pin cable is for 28digit code.  No all vehicles with new style key need 28 digits.

Thats the correct key for the car from the dealer and the car is a 20 digit pin. I was surprised it was easily doable with autel.

2020+ Versas and Altimas are easy. Sentras are the real deal.

Other reviews:

1). I have done 25 Versa and never needed a special cable and it used the old style smart key.

2).  I did a 2024 Versa prox yesterday with the IM508. All by OBD.
