Security System & Immobilizer

VW’s Immo 1–4/5 generations ran Megamos ID48 “precoded” chips before MQB moved to Megamos AES — era determines clone vs. program.

On the Arteon specifically we see: Megamos AES ID49/ID88 (MQB). A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Volkswagen Arteon Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my Arteon. What now?

We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.

My Arteon is push-to-start — can you program that outside the dealer?

Yes. Late models (2019–2023) use a proximity smart key on Megamos AES ID49/ID88 (MQB) — we carry the fobs and the programmer, and we cut the emergency blade.
