Default In the U.S. imobilizer came on facelift (00 and newer cars)
For the rest of the world, I think it's been there all the time....

The ABZ was on the pre facelift cars, 97-99 in the U.S. and Canada.

Default I have a TCU
I would have to look, I believe it's out of my 97, but it could be from a 98 also. I had both of them in my 97 at different times.

Guaranteed to work on a 97-99 US bound car.

$100 shipped.

My 96 has one-fixed code rather than rolling

Let's get to know each other... What A8 do you own and what is your age/occupation?
