Programming car remote keys

Here you will find some learning methods for car keys, which can also be found on the Internet using a Google search.

method

The learning

Since vehicle developers change their suppliers from time to time, it can happen that different control devices are
used for the locking systems even for the same model. Try the methods one at a time. If it doesn't work out on the
first day, don't despair. Try again the next day, but start with the second method. After a certain number of
attempts, a “learning lock” is activated, similar to car radios. Then nothing works anymore.

Foreign keys

Learning other people's keys may be possible if you have a two-part key. Then you can use the remote control for the
central locking from another car and place it on your key. You cannot program the key part with the transponder from
another car because the transponder is in it.-> The transponder is the chip for the immobilizer. It usually has a
rectangular or cylindrical shape and is covered in either plastic or glass and sits somewhere in the key housing. You
can only have a copy of your transponder made by the locksmith if you have old keys. Unfortunately, this is not
possible with modern transponders because they work with a changing code. Worn or broken keys If your key is
scratched or broken, you do not need to purchase a complete key from the dealer. This sometimes costs up to several
hundred euros. Most of the time it is enough to replace the housing or keypad. Then no coding is necessary

Tips

Make sure you are using a working key. If necessary, open the key and check whether the soldering points on the
circuit board are OK and whether the buttons are in contact. It is also recommended to clean the circuit board in the
key housing with ethyl alcohol and a brush. The conductor tracks and SMD components can corrode over time and hinder
the flow of current. Another possible source of error is a weak battery, both in the remote control and in the car.
Both must be sufficiently charged for smooth communication. Both batteries in the remote control should be full and
both from the same manufacturer. If you want to use several handheld transmitters for one vehicle, you must repeat
the steps for each transmitter. Otherwise only one always works. Wait 2-3 minutes between methods!

Audi

Method 1 (1) Insert the key to be learned into the ignition lock and switch on the ignition. (2) Then press “lock” on
the inserted key until the car locks. It locks briefly, but opens again immediately. (3) Done. You don't need a
second key.

learned via the driver's door lock.

Method 4 (1) Insert a key into the ignition switch and turn on the ignition. (2) Lock the vehicle with another key on
the driver or passenger door, remove the key. (3) Press the open button 1 to 4 times. Depending on how much storage
space is free. The first is usually already occupied. To assign memory location 1, press once; 2nd place, twice; and
so forth. The sequence of transmission pulses must not be too fast! The maximum total of 4 pulses must be entered
within 6 seconds! (4) After a pause of 5 seconds after the last transmission pulse, briefly press the open
transmission button again. The vehicle is unlocked and the saving process is finished! (5) The saving process must be
completed within 30 seconds of locking the car (point 2). Otherwise the procedure must be started again by locking it
again.

Renault

Method 1 (with WFS)

First you need to get the WFS code from Renault. To do this, you need the vehicle registration document and your

Turn on the ignition and hold the button until the WFS LED flashes as often as the first digit is large.
Briefly release the button and continue with the next digit up to the fourth
Turn off the ignition and press the ZV button until the ZV locks once and opens again
Then point the transmitter towards the receiver and press the button, repeating first one then the other if
necessary
The channels should then be read in and working.

then hold it again, let it flash 5x, let go, etc. Smiley
9. Lamp should switch to permanent

From then on you have 10 seconds to resynchronize both keys, then press the respective key several times in quick
succession until the doors report with a clack clack... then press the other key until the doors respond again...
then that's it resynchronization completed.... if one of the keys doesn't work, that's not a problem..... after 10
seconds the system at least takes over the key that worked during synchronization....
