The complete list of Adaptation Channels are documented while connected to the vehicle with VCDS. The most common channels are noted below for common repair reference:

Channel 000: Remote Control Clearing

Channel 001: Remote Control Matching

• Start Matching new/additional Remote Controls by entering 0, then Test and Save the New Value.
• Press and hold the Unlock button for at least one second on the Remote Control you want to add, the Blinkers will light up to confirm the Adaptation Process of each Remote Control.
