Particular depth of experience with VW Group, BMW, Ford and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, alongside most other makes and models, cars and vans alike.
ODIS access for the VW Group range, not a third-party workaround.
Key cutting and programming equipment varies by manufacturer, which is why depth of coverage isn’t identical across every brand. Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Škoda share much of the same underlying electronics and security platform as part of the Volkswagen Group, so [Owner]’s access to ODIS, Volkswagen’s own dealer-level diagnostic and programming software, covers all four. BMW and Ford are supported through Autel, Xhorse and ACDP equipment.
Modern vehicle security systems are built to standards set by bodies such as Thatcham Research, and understanding how those systems communicate with a key is central to diagnosing faults correctly, whichever brand is involved.
Seven brands with dedicated pages below. Driving something else? [Owner] covers most other makes and models too; get in touch to check.
One of the makes [Owner] covers most often, using Volkswagen’s own ODIS dealer-level software for key programming and diagnostics rather than a third-party workaround.

As part of the Volkswagen Group, Audi shares much of the same underlying electronics and security platform as VW, SEAT and Škoda.

SEAT shares its underlying electronics and security architecture with the rest of the Volkswagen Group.
The same ODIS-based programming and diagnostic access used for VW and Škoda covers SEAT models too, rather than relying on a generic universal tool.
