KEY CUTTING
STEP-BY- STEP GUIDE
1. Connect Your Equipment
Start by connecting the AVDI unit to your laptop via USB, then plug it into the vehicle’ s OBD port. You’ ll also need to connect the ProTag programmer to your laptop.
2. Software
• Once everything is set up, open the Abrites Toyota Software.
• Select the Toyota Corolla from the vehicle list.
3. Prepare the Master Key
• At this point, you’ ll need to prepare a master key. Follow the on-screen instructions and insert the Abrites TA64 HT-AES emulator into the ProTag programmer. This sets up the emulator as a master key, so you can program new keys.
4. Program the New Key
• Now it’ s time to program the new key. Click Key Learn to start the procedure.
• Once the software confirms that the new key has been successfully programmed, click Finish to complete the process.
• The software will automatically detect the vehicle.
• Next, go to the Key Learning section and select Learn Keys.
• Then touch the Start / Stop button first with the master key( the TA64 emulator) and then with the new key.
5. Test the New Key
• Test the new key to make sure it works. Try starting the car, locking and unlocking the doors, and checking all functions. If everything is working as expected, you’ re done!
