Immo & Key ProgrammingVolkswagen GroupVehicle keyless/immobilizer system

KESSY (Keyless Entry Start and exit sYstem) is Volkswagen Group's factory keyless-access and push-button-start system, fitted across Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT, Skoda and Porsche models. It ties passive entry and start to the vehicle immobilizer and comfort CAN network through a dedicated control module and an antenna network. In diagnostic, locksmith and repair work, 'KESSy' identifies the module and authentication chain technicians address when adding or replacing keys, swapping a KESSY unit, adapting components or diagnosing no-start and keyless faults. Aftermarket and OEM tools such as VCDS, ODIS, Abrites and VVDI interface with the KESSY module to code, adapt and learn keys. It is a vehicle system rather than standalone software, and is the target of immobilizer and key-programming equipment rather than a tool in its own right.

What KESSy is used for

Where Softechpro fits

KESSY is a keyless/immobilizer system, which is outside Softechpro's scope; Softechpro edits engine-ECU firmware (emissions, DTC-off, tuning) and does not program keys or immobilizers. The two address different systems within the same workshop.
