Abstract
A vehicle key programming system and method for chip reading and writing, key and remote programming and remote frequency testing. The system tracks programming usage when not connected to system servers and reports such usage upon connection. Immobilizer algorithms are chosen to program and such algorithms are optimized with each attempted use.
Claims5
A method for programming vehicle keys, the method comprising:
- storing, in a master database, vehicle information and at least two associated vehicle immobilizer algorithm programming options;
- storing, in a local database within a key programming device, said vehicle information;
- registering, in a master database, device information and user information;
- verifying the device and user information;
- coupling said key programming device to a vehicle and an associated key;
- receiving vehicle information from said vehicle;
- and
- providing a user an automated process wherein one of said at least two associated vehicle immobilizer algorithm options for programming said key with vehicle information are automatically selected.
