Find Audi A3 04-13 AKL 7th Byte via Autel IM508IM608-1

Audi A3 2004 to 2013 all key lost requires 7th byte CS code via eeprom. Here’s the trick.

The work can be done by Autel IM508/Autel MaxiIM IM608 with APB112 emulator directly via OBD without removing the immo box. It’s easy to do as long as nobody touched it and do it under lost keys. It’s safe because there’s no working transponder. Also need good power.

Sample example: Audi A3 2005.
