All vehicle keys (subsequently ordered keys as well) are already pre-coded to a specific vehicle from the factory and can only be adapted to this vehicle. The subsequent ordering of vehicle keys must be performed via entry of the respective Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and then the new keys must be adapted to the Anti-theft immobilizer control module (J362).

The function => [ New Identity When Replacing All Components ] Testing and Inspection must be called up after replacing the lock set or the control modules.
