How to Use Lonsdor K518 Pro with SVG149 Cable?

 Here is an example of how to use the Lonsdor K518 with the SPVG SVG149 NEC Dash Cable for a VAG VDO cluster with all keys lost.

 

Cluster type example: VDO NEC24C64

The SVG149 cable is designed to work for the ALL KEYS LOST solution on VAG instrument clusters with the NEC microprocessor. The SVG-149 cable allows you to plug your Supervag directly into the back of the VDO VDD cluster.

Main steps:

• Back up eeprom
• Read Immo data
• Make dealer key
• Directly add key

 

Procedure:

If you use Lonsdor, there is no follow-up procedure in it’s software.

1. Back up EEPROM

Select Immobilizer-VW-IMMO4-Select IMMO manually- NEC+24C64- Immobilizer.

Back up EEPROM.

Connect SVG149 cable and pogo pin with cluster.

Detect cluster number.

Reading eeprom data.
Back up eeprom successfully.

2. Read IMMO Data

Select Read IMMO data and follow prompts.

Read immo data (VIN, CS, password, key ID, key numbers) successfully.

3. Make dealer key

Select Make Dealer Key.
Place the key to be programmed in the key slot.

Make an ordinary dealer key.
Select brand: Seat TP22

Read current key ID.

Generate dealer key and lock key.

4. Add key

Here is a mechanical key, choose Directly add key menu.
If it is smart key, go to Key Learning function instead.
Turn on ignition switch.

Programming key compleye.

Read Immo data with Lonsdor K518 Pro again.
Now you can see a new key has been programmed.

FYI:

The Pogo PIN method can corrupt eeprom checksum on VW Polo, Seat Ibiza and Skoda Fabia so better to avoid use this method on these. Generally speaking of course the best method is to read eeprom and modify it to enter service mode, then you have backup.

Lonsdor 2020 Range Rover Sport Keyless Not Working Solution

 Problem:

I got a customer has 2020 range rover sport.
New type key
I believe that that car has lost its keys before and some one did a key for it that start only with emergency and remote working normally( Lonsdor key).
The customer wants to do a key that works normally with keyless functions.
So the only method i got is to do RFA replacement and everything willl works normally?
Here some info got it from lonsdor k518 pro.

Solution:

If its PEPS key (passive entry, passive start) , you have to replace mcu in rfa module. Due to UWB function key clone wont work for keyless start.
Turn uwb off.
And add 2 Lonsdor keys.

Option 1 easy method. If you have autel, try generating a key in autel and hopefully everything works. If not….
Option 2. Replace SPC mcu in RFA. Write back proper calibration. Then add keys via obd.

RFA remplacement or MCU of RFA remplacement if you have soldering good skilks.
You need to replace the mcu and write data then program to car.
