Just wondering if there is anyone near Lexington Ky (Cincinnati, Louisville?) with a Vag-com that wouldn't mind helpng out a fellow Passat obsesser. I got a deal on an ECU from a Tip (p/n matches mine), and I need it switched to Manual so I can use it for stock/spare. I will pay, bring beer, show huge amounts of appreciation :bowdown: , etc
.

What is skc? If you want the codes they're on the ross-tech website and listed in the bentley manuals.
"Secret Key Code" for the immobilizer. Got to have it to swap ECU's in later model VW's. Keys won't work with new ECU unless recoded with the ECU specific SKC (Ross-tech tells you how to do it, after you get the SKC from dealer).

Thanks, guys. I found someone here in Lexington (A4 guy) who said he would be happy to help. Now I just need to talk local VW dealer to give up the SKC. Unfortunately, I doubt they'll do it. Haven't had much luck with them in the past.
