How to Match a Bora Key?
2 Answers
Bora key matching method: Connect the AFUDI to the car's OBD diagnostic port. It is important to note that the original car key needs to remain in the ON state throughout the entire matching process. Apart from that, follow the displayed instructions to proceed. The Bora is FAW-Volkswagen's first independently designed model, with body dimensions of 4523mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1467mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of exterior design, the Bora's front face incorporates Volkswagen's design language, integrating continuous lines into the front face design. Precise and bold lines connect the headlights with the chrome-plated grille. The contour lines of the headlights are perfectly matched with the internal styling lines, complementing the chrome grille to form Volkswagen's iconic front face.
I remember helping a friend with the key matching for his Bora before. Matching a new key requires professional equipment, like a diagnostic tool connected to the car's computer via the OBD port. First, you need to confirm that the key is the specific model for the Bora, as its anti-theft system is quite complex. During the operation, you input the vehicle's serial number and the relevant password, then wait for the system to recognize and synchronize it. The whole process usually takes less than half an hour at a professional shop, but doing it yourself might mess up the electronic system—if something goes wrong, the car won't start. I recommend bringing all the old keys and ID documents and going straight to a 4S shop for a safe and quick solution. Some locksmiths can also handle it, costing a few hundred bucks, which is less risky than reprogramming. Having a spare key is always a good idea to avoid last-minute panic.
