    Still can't get 2 spare keys programmed for my 2008 VW beetle. I went to a local locksmith, and they couldn't get a cloned key to work on my car. After about 3 hours of trying to pull the pin and cloning a key, they handed my keys back and said you need to go to the dealer. I just can't believe...

    Thank you. I did get it to work, but it told me what you just said..... not supported. I guess it uses k line , but also has a CAN for OBD2 generic diagnostics. I guess my only option at this point is the dealer or locksmith.

    .Yeah, I'm just learning about this, so I'm not very good. I was looking for some guidance on what to type and if the file will even work on a 2008 beetle.There is no clear information on what works to pull the skc on a 2008 beetle. I could just go have a locksmith do it, but I like to learn how...

    Found it, don't completely understand it. * The New Beetle continued to use the older k-line diagnostics only incorporating CAN for Generic OBD-2 in 2008 as mandated by the EPA. Other holdover models such as the 7V Seat Alhambra, 6L Seat Ibiza/Cordoba, 6Y/5J Skoda Fabia, 1U Skoda Octavia, 5J...
