Chronology :

November 2021: For a certain type of eMMC memory module, flashing software to the chip prior to soldering it to the PCB was found to be causing an undervoltage in certain affected units. Internal testing indicated it may affect rearview camera activation during a narrow time window and under certain specific use conditions. Topic was identified for further investigation.

February 2022-April 2022: VolkswageneBay logo reviewed warranty claims and other available field data to identify whether there were any attributable claims. None were found that were clearly attributed to this issue.

Additional tests were conducted to determine whether the undervoltage issue only affected certain software versions or if there were any other defined characteristics of vehicles affected by the undervoltage issue. Results were inconclusive, thus, all vehicles with the specific eMMC memory module that were manufactured under the same suspect process were deemed to be potentially affected.

April 2022-June 2022: Despite no clear evidence of this rearview camera issue occuring on customer vehicles in the field, VolkswageneBay logo reviewed whether this issue affected compliance with FMVSS 111 based on the updated information from the foregoing.

July 13, 2022: The VolkswageneBay logo Product Safety Committee determines that the affected vehicles may not fully meet FMVSS 111 S5.5.6 under certain unlikely conditions. Hence, a voluntary non-compliance recall was decided.

VolkswageneBay logo is not aware of any warranty claims in the United States due to this issue.

Reprogramming

Overview โ€“ Introduction

The Immobilizer is a theft-deterrent device that adds a layer of security to VWGoA vehicles that include the following brands: AudieBay logo, Bentley, Lamborghini, and VWeBay logo. Certain repairs such as replacing emission parts cannot be performed without resetting the immobilizer code for the vehicle. This is done by a technician using the VAS for PC software to synchronize the immobilizer code embedded in the ignition key with other codes resident on parts such as the Transmission Control Module, Engine Control Module, and Instrument Cluster.

 

Before you can replace an emission part

Whenever you replace an emission-related control module, the immobilizer must be reset using the VAS for PC software. This can only be done if you meet the following requirements:

  • You have enrolled into the program (see step 1 - Complete Pass Thru Enrollment Forms)
  • You have received an email from VWGoA that contains a Security ID and Password to access the immobilizer application hosted in Germany
  • You have received an email from VWGoA that contains a certificate file (e.g. IndepeDeale.30001.300999.pfx)
  • You have installed the certificate onto your PC
  • You have obtained a J 2534-1 Pass Thru device (see recommended J 2534-1 Pass Thru devices)
  • You have performed the steps outlined in VAS for PC Setup

 

Recommended J 2534-1 Pass Thru devices

Pass thru devices are available for purchase from a recommended Manufacturer for registered workshops to perform Immobilizer functions. The Pass Thru devices that have been tested to work with VAS for PC follow:

  • I+ME Pass-Thru+XS

Available from Dearborn Group Technology https://www.dgtech.com or (248) 488-2080

Email at [email protected]

Note: Currently, Pass Thru re-programming supports SAE J2534-1 version 4.04 only. Please ensure that you have installed the appropriate driver for your Pass Thru device. For details read the documentation shipped with your device or contact the manufacturer.
