When it comes to making keys on many late model vehicles, an OEM factory scan tool is the only option. Let me give you an example. Let\u2019s say you get a call for \u201call keys lost\u201d on a 2015 Chrysler 200. Do you have the tool to program keys to the vehicle? Currently, there\u2019s only one solution\u2013Chrysler\u2019s latest diagnostic tool, the MicroPOD II.<\/p>\n

WHAT\u2019S A ROLLING PIN CODE?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2015 Chrysler 200, along with other Fiat-based models like the Jeep Renegade, Jeep Cherokee, and Ram Promaster, are all equipped with a rolling PIN Code. Unlike previous models with a single fixed code, the rolling code is only valid for 72 hours before it expires and changes. Currently, Chrysler\u2019s MicroPOD II is the only solution for \u201call keys lost,\u201d because it\u2019s the only tool that will wake the BUS to begin the programming procedure for new keys, which I\u2019ve outlined below.<\/p>\n

WHAT\u2019S THE MICROPOD II?<\/strong><\/p>\n

But first, just a bit about the MicroPOD II. This dongle-style device is small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, and offers 100 percent CAN coverage for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Fiat vehicles, and it replaces previous scanners including the StarScan, StarMobile, and wiTECH POD.<\/p>\n

Like most OEM diagnostic and programming tools, the wiTECH MicroPod 2<\/a> is PC-based. It connects via USB (no smart cables required) and requires a subscription to Tech Authority (Chrysler\u2019s OEM service information) and wiTECH (Chrysler\u2019s diagnostic software application).<\/p>\n

Once equipped, though, you\u2019ve just opened yourself up to a number of new profit opportunities, including \u201call keys lost\u201d on many late-model, Fiat-based vehicle platforms. All keys lost complicates the situation, but with the MicroPod II, I\u2019ll show you how to go from \u201call keys lost\u201d to new key programmed in five minutes.<\/p>\n

CASE STUDY:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vehicle: Chrysler Minivans 2008-2020
\nProblem: \u201cAll Keys Lost\u201d
\nProgramming Solution: Chrysler\u2019s MicroPOD II<\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My new-to-me T&C only came with one key fob. it doesn\u2019t have the backup mechanical key inside. I\u2019ve acquired and programmed a two spare fobs. but I currently have no way to unlock the door if the battery dies.<\/p>\n

Look at my key fob:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The method I program the key fobs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I used V17.04.27 wiTech MicroPod
\n2. Seemed to work well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What you need:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Locksmith Identification Number (LSID through NASTF)
\nProper Key
\nPIN Code through CnAutotool.com<\/a>
\nLaptop (We recommend the AE i7 Durabook)
\nMicroPOD II
\nwiTECH Diagnostic Application
\nTech Authority Software<\/p>\n

Before you begin the programming process, you will need to purchase the PIN Code through Cnautotool.com Once your transaction is complete, it will provide you with the Key Code (key cut code) and Authorized PIN (key programming).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
