Explanation on the key with NO.9 cutting position

Generally speaking, there are 8 positions in the car door lock for VW Audi Porsche, there is only one cutting in the ignition, it is NO.9 position. We tend to think the key that is made according to the car door lock can directly turn on the ignition, and when the ignition can’t be turn on, we will think there are more lock wafers in the ignition than the car door lock. But, it is only one cutting in the ignition switch for Touareg, A6L, A8, Phaeto, the difference is it is in the position of No.9. Any one key with No.9 position cutting can turn on the ignition. Technically speaking, it is not a mechanical lock; it is only an electronic recognizer.

If the key is original blank key, then the remote control can generate automatically, if you think the original key is too expensive to afford, then you can also choose A6L package and add one receiver box, on the premise of that the key has good quality and the driver agree you to do like this, also you can choose dual-horse remote key without receiver box, but you have to use dual-horse device.
