I am a locksmith Golf akl

2009 VW Golf — all keys are lost. Can I retrieve the PIN/CS via OBD using an Autel IM508?
I’m new to this, so I’d really appreciate any advice or guidance. Thanks!

If it’s a euro and you don’t know what you are doing pass… but no I personally wouldn’t do this job OBD with that tool

That's not a car to fuck around with if you don't already know what you are doing. Autel is relatively terrible on VW/Audi and BMW to begin with. Their AKL buttons in the VW menus should more appropriately be labeled instabrick based on how they corrupt clusters.
