Diagnodes x KYDZ: MLB Generation 2 & 3 Key Programming

Using the Diagnodes x KYDZ integration, you can now quickly program spare keys for VAG’s MLB Evo (Generation 2) and Premium Platform Combustion (Generation 3) vehicles.

How It's Done

Supported Key Types
To execute this procedure, the vehicle must be equipped with one of the following key architectures:

• MLB-P1
• MLB-T1
• MLB-AD1
• MLB-AD2
• MLB-AD3


Hardware Requirements & Workflow

Hardware Requirement: You must supply your own physical KYDZ programmer.
The Procedure: The workflow requires you to open the customer's working key. You will place the working key's PCB onto the KYDZ programmer to securely read and extract the necessary cryptographic data. This data is then stored and written onto a new replacement key PCB (OEM or aftermarket).
Time & Cost: The entire MLB procedure takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. It operates exclusively on the DIAGNODES token-based system, meaning there are no heavy subscriptions—you simply pay for the jobs you actually complete.
