Notes & cautions
- This chassis Volkswagen Routan is a rebadged Chrysler RT-platform minivan using Philips PCF7941 (ID46 HITAG-2) with Chrysler SKIM 3 / FOBIK B immobilizer (2009-2014) — identical hardware to the Dodge Grand Caravan / Chrysler Town & Country of the same generation. Covered natively by Autel IM608 Pro II + IMKPA Chrysler module, AD Smart Pro ADS173/ADS178 FOBIK B, Lonsdor K518 USA + Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep menu, Xhorse Key Tool Plus/KH100 + Chrysler module, OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus FCA menu. PIN via Tech Authority subscription, autokeyprog.com calculator, or NASTF/dealer.
- Standard 16-pin DLC OBD path; no XP400 PRO bench, no APB112 simulator needed for OBD-only add-key.
- Smart proximity or remote head key: ensure existing key fob battery is functional before starting.
- Confirm the FCC label before ordering a blank: VW catalogued 3-button (7B0959754BA), 5-button (7B0959754AT), 6-button (7B0959754AG = Chrysler 56046704) and 7-button with remote start (7B0959754AA / BG) FOBIK SKUs for the Routan — all share the same FCC (IYZ-C01C / M3N5WY783X) and chip family, so button count does not change the programming procedure.
- Tool kit context: Autel IMKPA Chrysler module (~$5-10/session) or AD Smart Pro ADS173/ADS178 dominant for FOBIK B add-key. Xhorse KH100 + Chrysler module and Lonsdor LKE Smart Key Emulator also confirmed. APB112 simulator NOT typically needed. G-Box bench EEPROM NOT used. XP400 PRO only for SKIM module bench fallback.
- All existing keys erased. Bring ALL replacement keys before starting — minimum 2.
- No manual AKL for Volkswagen Routan Chrysler SKIM 3 / FOBIK B — professional tool mandatory.
- SKIM 3 / FOBIK B AKL via OBD needs SKIM PIN (Tech Authority subscription / autokeyprog.com / NASTF lookup) — confirm before quoting.
- Keep all existing/lost key fobs at least 10 metres from vehicle during AKL.
- Confirm the FCC label before ordering a blank: VW catalogued 3-button (7B0959754BA), 5-button (7B0959754AT), 6-button (7B0959754AG = Chrysler 56046704) and 7-button with remote start (7B0959754AA / BG) FOBIK SKUs for the Routan — all share the same FCC (IYZ-C01C / M3N5WY783X) and chip family, so button count does not change the AKL procedure.
- AKL accessory needs: Autel IMKPA + Chrysler token for cloud calc, Lonsdor LKE Smart Key Emulator for K518 simulated-key AKL path, Xhorse KH100 Chrysler. APB112 NOT mandatory. G-Box bench EEPROM NOT used. XP400 PRO only if SKIM module EEPROM corrupted (rare).
