Hands-on Experience:
Gain practical, hands-on experience using donor cars to identify, cut, clone, and program keys.
Car Key Academy also offer ongoing online technical support via telephone, WhatsApp and TeamViewer.
Automatic Key Cutting Machines: Develop a thorough understanding of both basic and advanced key cutting techniques using automatic key cutting machines. Master the process of key duplication, including copying keys accurately, cutting keys by bitting (using the key's code or profile), and performing universal key duplication for various types of locks. Explore the functionality of key cutting machines, how they read and process key codes, and how to ensure precise cuts for different key types. In addition to key cutting techniques, learn the essential maintenance and calibration procedures to keep machines in optimal working condition. Understand how regular calibration improves the accuracy and reliability of cuts, preventing common errors and ensuring the longevity of your equipment. Additionally, familiarize yourself with troubleshooting methods to address issues that may arise during key cutting operations.
Transponder Key Programming: Gain a comprehensive understanding of transponders, their function, and the process of cloning and sniffing in automotive key systems. Learn how transponder keys work to enhance vehicle security, how cloning duplicates the original key's unique signal, and the concept of sniffing, which captures and analyzes the signal to aid in key duplication. Additionally, explore the advanced capabilities of XHORSE tools, which are widely used in the automotive locksmith industry for efficient transponder cloning and the generation of universal remote keys. Understand the step-by-step process of utilizing these tools to clone transponder keys and create universal remotes, as well as the software involved and how it integrates with key programming devices to support a wide range of vehicle makes and models.
OBD Interface Immobiliser Key Programming:
Acquire comprehensive expertise in OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) key programming tools and techniques used to program immobiliser systems. This course covers a wide range of essential skills, including retrieving PIN codes, adding new keys to the vehicle’s immobiliser system, and generating dealer-specific keys to enable seamless vehicle access and ignition. You’ll gain hands-on experience with advanced OBD key programming tools that allow for direct communication with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and immobiliser module. In addition to key programming, the course delves into working with EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and IMMO (Immobiliser) data, which are critical for programming, modifying, or extracting security information from the vehicle's electronic systems. This training ensures you can efficiently handle a variety of vehicle makes and models, addressing both standard and complex immobiliser programming tasks.
