There are various types of anti-theft systems in VW and Audi car series, such as the Fourth Generation, Fifth Generation, MQB, and MLB. These types of gearbox modules contain anti-theft data, so it is difficult to synchronize the anti-theft data of the anti-theft system using a universal diagnostic tool during maintenance and replacement.
However, LAUNCH X-431 IMMO anti-theft matching tools (Launch X431 IMMO Elite, Launch X431 IMMO Plus) can be used to resolve the problem of gearbox module replacement through two methods: cloning and anti-theft matching.Check out how to replace the gearbox modules for VW/Audi as below:
Method 1: Clone
If the data of the gearbox module in the originalvehicle is normal, technicians can performmodule cloning directly.
Mainly Supported Gearbox Modules:
Method 2: Matching
If the data of the original gearbox module cannotbe read, technicians should:
Step 1:
Tap the “IMMO PROG” in the X-431 APP homemenu to back up data of the external gearbox module.
Step 2:
Install the external gearbox module.
Use the “IMMO” function menu to enter the vehicle model software to perform “Gearbox Module Replacement”. Back up and parse anti-theftdata from other anti-theft modules in the originalvehicle (such as the remote key or enginemodule). Load the data of the external module,and parse the anti-theft data out for replacementand matching.
Key Steps to perform gearbox replacement on Launch X431 IMMO Elite / Launch X431 IMMO Plus:
Step 1: Select “IMMO Prog”
Step 2: select “Gearbox”
Step 3: select “VW/Audi”
Step 4: Select”DL382-7F”
5. Select “View Wiring Diagram”
After selecting “View Wiring Diagram”, follow the cloning steps to back up and restore data. And then load it directly into the car for use and no need to synchronize the online anti-theft data.
