KEYDIY Universal Remote Car Key Manual

1. Introducció

This manual provides essential information for the proper use and understanding of your KEYDIY Universal Remote Car Key. These keys are designed to be programmed with compatible KEYDIY devices (KD900, KD900+, URG200, KD-X2, Mini KD) to function as a replacement or spare remote for various car models. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to use or program the key.

2. Producte acabatview

The KEYDIY Universal Remote Car Key is available in B, NB, and ZB series, each with distinct characteristics and compatibility. These keys are supplied with a circuit board but typically do not include a transponder chip, battery, or key blade, which must be added or generated during the programming process using a KEYDIY device.

2.1 Series Differences

The following table outlines the key differences between the B, NB, and ZB series remotes:

2.2 B Series Specifics (e.g., B15)

B series remote controls share the same internal data but may vary in external appearance. They can be programmed to operate within a frequency range of 300-500 MHz, including common frequencies like 310 MHz, 313 MHz, 314 MHz, 315 MHz, and 433 MHz. A suitable key blade must be acquired separately to complete the key assembly.

2.3 NB Series Specifics (e.g., NB15)

NB series remotes are equipped with an electronic chip that integrates five functions into one key. These include specific configurations for various car brands such as NB-ATT-36 (for Peugeot, Citroen, older Honda models), NB-ATT-46 (for Touareg, Bentley, most Renault, Fiat, and keys with PCF7946 Chips), NB-ATT-for Chrysler (for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep), NB-ETT-for GM (for new Buick, Chevrolet, Opel), and NB-XTT-new for Honda (for 2014 and 2015 Honda models).

3. Especificacions

4. Configuració i programació

These universal remote keys require programming using a compatible KEYDIY device (such as KD900, KD900+, URG200, KD-X2, or Mini KD). The programming process involves generating the desired remote configuration onto the key's circuit board.

4.1 Required Components (Not Included)

• Transponder Chip: For B series keys, a separate transponder chip is required if the vehicle immobilizer system needs it. NB and ZB series typically include integrated transponder functionality.
• Bateria: A suitable battery (e.g., CR2032, specific type may vary) is required for the remote to function.
• Key Blade: A blank key blade compatible with your vehicle's ignition and door locks must be purchased separately and cut by a locksmith. Some ZB series models may come with a blade.

4.2 Passos de programació

1. Prepare the Key: Ensure the remote key's circuit board is correctly inserted into the key shell. If applicable, insert the required transponder chip and battery.
2. Connect KD Device: Connect your KEYDIY programming device (e.g., KD-X2) to a power source and your computer or mobile device (if applicable).
3. Select Vehicle Type: On your KD device software, select the make, model, and year of the vehicle for which you intend to program the key.
4. Generate Remote: Follow the on-screen instructions on your KD device to generate the remote data onto the universal key. This process will configure the key to the specific vehicle's remote frequency and protocol.
5. Immobilizer Programming (if applicable): If your vehicle requires an immobilizer chip, and your key series (e.g., B series) does not include one, you will need to program a separate transponder chip using the KD device or other specialized equipment. NB and ZB series keys often handle this internally.
6. Key Blade Cutting: Take the key blade (purchased separately) to a professional locksmith to be cut to match your vehicle's existing key.
7. Funcionalitat de prova: After programming and assembly, test all functions of the key (lock, unlock, trunk release, engine start if immobilizer is programmed) to ensure proper operation.

For detailed programming instructions specific to your KEYDIY device model, please refer to the instruction manual provided with your KD programmer.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Once successfully programmed and assembled, your KEYDIY universal remote car key will function like an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) remote for your vehicle. The specific buttons and their functions typically include:

• Botó de bloqueig: Press once to lock all vehicle doors.
• Botó de desbloqueig: Press once to unlock the driver's door, or twice to unlock all doors (may vary by vehicle).
• Trunk Release Button: Press and hold to open the vehicle's trunk or tailgate.
• Panic Button (if present): Press and hold to activate the vehicle's alarm system.

Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions on remote key operation and any advanced features.

6. Manteniment

6.1 Substitució de la bateria

Although the remote key does not come with a battery, you will need to install one for operation. When the remote's range decreases or it stops responding, it's likely time to replace the battery. The battery type is typically a coin cell (e.g., CR2032), but always verify the correct type for your specific key model.

1. Carefully open the key shell. This usually involves prying it apart with a small flat-head screwdriver or a specialized tool.
2. Note the orientation of the old battery (positive (+) side up or down).
3. Remove the old battery and insert the new one, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Snap the key shell back together securely.

6.2 Atenció general
