Is there a vw/audi med17/me17 immo delete + vin shop in Washington DC I should use instead?
Most local Washington DC shops don’t offer vw/audi med17/me17 immo delete + vin as a bench service — they’d send the part to someone like us anyway. Going direct saves the markup and shortens the timeline. Total round-trip from Washington DC: typically 5-7 days.
Will this fix a car that won't crank at all?
No. This service is for vehicles where the engine starts briefly then shuts down due to immobilizer coding (P1570, P0513). It will not fix a completely dead or no-crank vehicle.
Do I need to send the keys?
No. After the IMMO delete is performed, the ECU will run without any key matching. You will not need any keys for the engine to start (you still need a physical key to turn the ignition or push start the vehicle).
What if my ECU needs to be opened?
Some MED17/ME17 ECUs require opening the unit to access the chip directly. This may void the part's warranty. We will let you know before opening if your specific variant requires it.
