The following is from Audi's official website. The online function of Audi is down. No tools can do it.
"Due to more stringent security requirements, the service process for installing a used immobilizer
control units (from February 2021 onwards) have been modified (see list).
• In the future, you will need to apply for approval from AUDI AG to install any used immobilizer control
units.
• The application is shown automatically when you attempt to adapt the immobilizer control unit
using the ODIS tester (or a laptop with ODIS access).
• Print out the application, sign it and send it to the e-mail address given in the application.
• The department in charge of approvals will check that the application is correct and complete.
• You will then receive an e-mail with information regarding the outcome of your application.
• Please note: It may take up to 48 hours before you receive a reply.
• Once approval has been granted, it is only possible to adapt the control unit to the vehicle
identification number documented in the application. There is no time limit for doing this.
This currently affects the following control units:
Instrument cluster
Audi TT (FV) 2015 >
Audi A3 (8V/ FF) 2013 >
Audi Q2 (GA) 2017 >
