The fourth generation anti-theft immobilizer on the Tiguan has an online connection and download capability. The chief integral component of the fourth generation immobilizer is a central database, in which all anti-theft relevant data of participating control modules is stored. It is not possible to adapt the participating control modules to the immobilizer without an online connection to this data bank.

• It is not possible to request the PIN of anti-theft immobilizer components via fax or earlier clearing of the components.

• All components participating on the immobilizer must be adapted online.

• All vehicle keys (subsequently ordered keys as well) are already pre-coded to a specific vehicle from the factory and can only be adapted to this vehicle.

• It is necessary to have the VIN to be able to order replacement keys.

• It is no longer possible to perform adaptation on components originating from other brands in the Volkswagen group.
