Programming new keys. All Gilera, Piaggio
& Vespa Models with immobilisers
We can supply genuine Piaggio spares for your
Piaggio.
Notes:
Only the Service key should be used day
to day.
Use the Service key for testing and fault
finding. Only use the Master key for programming.
It is not possible to program a replacement
master key to a previously programmed immobiliser
It is possible to program new Service keys
only if you have the original Master key.
Original Service keys with a chip fitted
can be recognised by this symbol etched into the metalnear
the top.
If new locks are fitted:
Lock set will be supplied with one Master
and one Service key.
If you do not have any original keys then
you must also change the CDI / Immobiliser unit
If you have the original Master key: Use
a screwdriver to pries the Master key apart so the Chip
can be removed. Remove the chip from the new key and replace
it with the original. Now the immobiliser will not know
that anything has changed. Now the system is working and
you can program the new Service keys.
Programming new Service keys:
Programming is easy but be aware that precise timing can be
important.
Master key in and turn on for TWO seconds
Service key in and turn on for TWO seconds
If you have a second Service key : In and
turn on for TWO seconds
Master key in and turn on for TWO seconds
You have up to ten seconds to change keys
over.
If you are adding an extra Service key
you must re-program all the Service keys together, you can
not just add a key.
The system can remember up to seven keys
at a time. If you program an eighth key then the first one
will be forgotten.
You do not need to try and start the engine
to see if it is programmed. Simply turn the ignition back
on; before it is programmed the LED will give one 2 second
flash; once it is programmed the flash will be a half second.
If it has not accepted the programming
after six attempts then do it again but make the turn on
times much quicker (probably one second). Sometimes this
will work when the normal procedure will not. But note that
it will only work when the normal procedure will not so
you can
not do it all the time.
