What is Odis Immobiliser Adaptation?
ODIS (Offboard Diagnostic Information System) immobiliser adaptation is the process of making the immobiliser system compatible with new components or reconfiguring existing components in Volkswagen Group vehicles (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, etc.). The immobiliser is an electronic security device designed to prevent unauthorised use of the vehicle and requires a unique code on the vehicle key to match a code stored in the vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU). Without this match, the engine cannot be started.
1-Immobiliser adaptation through the ODIS software may be required for the following situations:
2-Key Replacement or Reprogramming: If a new vehicle key is added or existing keys are reprogrammed, these keys may need to be made compatible with the immobiliser system.
3-ECU Replacement: If the engine control unit (ECU) in the vehicle needs to be replaced, the new ECU must be made compatible with the vehicle’s immobiliser system.
Replacement of Immobiliser System Components: When components of the immobiliser system itself need to be replaced (e.g. immobiliser reader, control module, etc.), these new components need to be made compatible with the existing system.
ODIS immobiliser adaptation is carried out by authorised service centres or service providers specialised in this field and equipped with the necessary equipment. During this process, a secure online connection is established via the ODIS software and the necessary encryption codes and adaptation data are retrieved from the central databases of the Volkswagen Group. This ensures the security of the process and the correct configuration of the vehicle’s immobiliser system.
