extracting SKC's for immobiliser and instruments

[james.milroy]

How can I extract the SKC on my MY08 Leon to replace the instrument cluster with a new one. Or does anyone on the forum know someone/someplace in the west of Scotland where I can get it done? Nothing illegal or underhand here, this is all legit so I can install bluetooth. I have the 'new' cluster but when I was getting it adapted at the dealers today, their equipment said it was 'used' and already had immobiliser data written to it even though the mileage was zero!! I got charged labour for this so i'm not best pleased. This part was sold to me as new by Ted Johnson Seat, and I am not in any way blaming them for the fact it is not new. These things happen, and I am in the process of sorting something out, but I want to know if there is an alternative to the dealer if need be. I have a fully registered vag-com.

Any help or info greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

James.

To my knowledge, there are no aftermarket tools that can pull the SKC/PIN code from an MY08 vehicle. I think your only choice will be to work with the dealer.
