Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Programming Ignition Keys To The Win
Each FOBIK has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is manufactured. When a key is programmed into the WIN, the module learns the transponder ID code and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the WIN.
Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
- Connect a battery charger to the vehicle.
- Connect the scan tool.
- Have a unique vehicle PIN readily available before running the routine.
- Ignition key should be in RUN position.
- Select "ECU View".
- Select "WIN Wireless Control".
- Select "Miscellaneous Functions."
- Select "Program Ignition Keys or Key FOBs", Start
- Enter the PIN when prompted.
- Verify the correct information.
- Cycle ignition key after the successful routine completion.
If the original keys do not successfully program to the new WIN after the proper procedures are followed correctly, programming new keys will be necessary.
