How to Restore Audi Electric Tailgate by CGDI CG100X

Image
  Problem: Tried to read Audi DQ250 gearbox with foxflash programmer . It says seedkey error, on obd it says error sk2 seedkey. On bench without Benchbox it says error sk1 seedkey. Try to read by K-line. Can do ID no problem on both obd and bench. They’re not coming something with switch power on, this error comes from the start and with power bottom switch off it says wake error. Any idea? Maybe tvs or other software?? Solution: Just leave power switch on all the time. OBD not possible. Use foxflash+ godiag gt107 gearbox adapter. TVS software can also be a problem. Another user reported that he has TVS software on his DQ250 DSG, and it is impossible to read it with any tool — he can only identify it. That might be your problem as well.
