2015 Golf, GTI – Immobilizer Key/Key Remote Adaptation Test
Plan
To adapt keys to a 2015 Golf or Golf GTI, it is necessary to complete the “Adapt Immobilizer” test plan.
This test plan can be found under the ODIS Special Functions Tab (figure 1) or by navigating to
“Immobilizer functions” under “Elect. Immobilizer 5A” after clicking the “Select self test” button in the Test
Plan tab (figure 2). This procedure adapts both the remote and immobilizer functions of the key.
