Key Matching

Prerequisites:

• All keys are either new or were adapted to this car (IMMO-ID) before.
• You can match up to 8 keys.
• While adapting each key, make sure to place the other keys away from the ignition lock (reader coil). The passenger seat is an adequate place.
• Battery voltage at least 12.0 V. We strongly recommend the use of a battery charger.
