AUTO LOCKSMITHS
Cloning and/or Diagnostic
Programming of a Remote Key
(With buttons for alarm/central locking)
Diagnostic Programming
of the key to the vehicle
(Lost key or if key cannot be cloned) –
Identify what chip you will need…
• Chip identified by make, model and
year.
• Some chips are ready to use (off
the shelf) whilst others require
preparation:-
(Logic/Code Generation)
For early vehicle using fixed code
chips (T5 etc) where the original key
is not available to copy. The vehicle
will not recognise a blank T5 chip. The
chip requires transponder logic (a 32
digit code) before programming in with
diagnostic equipment.
(EEPROM)
For early vehicle using fixed code
chips (T5 etc) where the original key
is not available to copy. Some models
require the transponder code to be
specific to the vehicle therefore the chip
requires transponder logic from a dump
file normally read from the vehicle ECU.
A key (or remote) ordered to chassis
from the dealer would already have this
information on the chip.
First identify what REMOTE
you will need…
• Searchable by make, model and
year
• Chip Type/Ref - The make of chip
and how it reads in your cloning
device
• Details (Information to help
further in identifying the correct
remote) - OEM (dealer reference),
description, key profile and any
information shown on the original
remote
• Programme – How the remote (and
chip) is programmed into the vehicle
(manual or diagnostic procedure).
Genuine Remote or Aftermarket
(Silca Smart / KeyDIY)
• Searchable by make, model and
year
• There are a number of devices
available which will make up a
remote to suit the vehicle (as
opposed to using a genuine
remote).
• The Transponder Manual advises
which vehicles are applicable,
whether the chip can be cloned
and whether the remote is added
manually or requires diagnostic
equipment to programme to the
vehicle.
(Transponder Precode)
For vehicles which require an
additional or missing part of the
transponder code which is specific to
the vehicle. This information is normally
read by ODB. A key (or remote) ordered
to chassis from the dealer would already
have this information on the chip.
Now in its fifth generation - The “Locksmiths Bible” is a
comprehensive guide to over 80 vehicle manufacturers.
(Transponder Production)
If a chip is required that you do not
stock (or is not available off the shelf)
then transponder production can be
used to create the chip for diagnostic
programming.
