This will be the first time for me doing the key wrap method required by VW vehicles. Planning on using DB-ALL bypass module (understand works quite well in VW applications, plus I have the programming harness for the Directed bypass products)...is there any better choices? Also, as far as wrapping the key and the ignition cylinder, could someone advise on type of wire to use and best method of securing it to key and ignition cylinder. Thank you, Al

Thin wire as per Xpresskit instructions. Use Scotch 33+ tape to secure it.

Ok, have some 22 gauge wire(solid core, copper)....do the sections wrapped around the key head and ignition barrel need to have the insulation stripped back? Al
