TIPS & TRICKS

Before you waste precious time on an ECU reflash or attempting to program a transponder key, check if an engine immobilizer system is standard or optional on the vehicle. Also check if the customer has an aftermarket keyless entry remote.

 

There are great resource books like Mike Hyde's 'Transponders' that will let you know if an immobilizer system is standard or optional on a vehicle.

 

 

Mike Hyde's Transponder Book

 

Our Price: $179 (KR p/n 1209) 

 

 

If it is optional, then the next step is to use KeylessRide iD tool (immobilizer detector) and while holding it around the ignition cylinder and pressing the red iD test button, turn the key (customer's current key or a test key) in the ignition. The iD tool LED will light up with 'immobilizer Detected' to confirm if there is an immobilizer system polling for a transponder. Imagine how long it could potentially take to unnecessarily pull out an ECU/ECM or dig around for a non-existent immo box from behind a dash! Plus our iD product is a good looking diagnostic tool when you use it in front of a customer...just like all our tools! J

 

 

iD - Immobilizor Detector

Our Price: $59 (KR p/n 1523)

 

 

 

Did you know many aftermarket systems have a built-in engine immobilizer function that could lead to a false assumption that there is a factory transponder system on a car? Take it from us...we make these mistakes so you won't have to! J

 

BTW: ECU Reflashing is a service available from KeylessRide for earlier model Acura/Honda and Toyota/Lexus vehicles with zero existing keys. Send us your customer's ECU and we will reflash and return it with a set of keys.  Our ECU reflash service is only $150...dealers don't typically reflash, they will quote consumers $1000+ for a replacement ECU. You can be a hero and have a new loyal customer...use the opportunity to ask if they have family members that might be short a remote or a key for their car!

MEET THE KEY CODE GROUP

   

Many of you have sent us your pictures to set up your code account, and now its our turn to show you some of ours.

 

Each member of our group contributes in important ways to make sure you have the best experience possible when you need a code. You have met some of them in person at professional trade shows since 2001. Some have been converting GM codes for you since 2003. Members of the group have built a special CODE PAGE that you can use to check our growing vehicle list, code pricing, and code-running times. The group has also automated codes to a point where you can complete your code application with a computer or smart phone within 3 minutes, be approved for an annual code account as fast as 15 minutes later, and from that point on being able to request or receive your code by text, phone, email or fax. Key code group members are positioned to ensure that when you call, you will get the code you want within a few minutes...many even while you wait on the phone. Many members of the group can even help you turn that key or programming code into a working key that gets your customer back on the road. Through hard work, persistence, and continuously adjusting to the needs of security professionals like you, the key code group has truly positioned itself to not only be a fast, professional, and complete key and programming code source, but also an innovative, reliable and convenient resource for you and your code-related needs.
