The OBDStar X300 Classic G3 programmer has unveiled a groundbreaking new feature: MQB All Keys Lost (AKL) Sync Data Calculation, eliminating the need for third-party software. This innovation simplifies immobilizer synchronization for VW, Audi, SEAT, and Škoda (MQB platform) vehicles, offering a faster and more cost-effective solution for locksmiths and automotive technicians.
In this article, we’ll explore:
Requires VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat software version 45.48 and onwards. New software version is available to download on April 22nd, 2025.
Also needs to be used with the OBDSTAR RH850/V850 kit.
Previously, generating sync data for MQB-platform vehicles required:
Now, the OBDStar G3 can:
Read data directly from the vehicle’s modules.
Calculate sync codes automatically (no manual hex editing).
Program dealer keys without external software.
Key Features:
1. Accessing the MQB AKL Function
2. Reading Required Module Data
The system needs data from four critical modules:
1). Instrument Cluster (Dashboard IMMO Data)
Supported versions are listed (expanding regularly).
Read IMMO data (C5-06): This function reads data (PFLASH+ DFLASH) through the C4-06 adapter.
Parse IMMO data: This function decrypts and analyzes IMMO information by loading the IMMO data (PFLASH+ DFLASH).
2). ECU (Engine Control Unit)
3). Transmission Module
4). ELV (Steering Column Lock)
Can be read via:Method 1: Read immo data by RH850/V850 kit.
Method 2: Collect ELV authentication data and calculate immo data.
If you use method 2, you may need to buy an MQB collector from obdstar separately.
3. Calculating the Sync Code
Once all data is collected:
4. Programming a New Key
A major advantage of this feature is flexibility in data sourcing:
Instrument Cluster Data can be read using:This means technicians aren’t locked into OBDStar’s ecosystem—existing tools can still be used.
