Official summary
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.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
