STILL WORKING ON THIS. SOME EXACT WORDING MIGHT NOT BE CORRECT. PICTURES WILL BE ADDED.

Key Blanks

The keys blanks that you'd be looking for these with the left blade, make sure to compare with your original key as this is what matches mine and from what I've seen on google is the standard one, you might be able to get away with ones that have the chip integrated into the shell and is irremovable but I'm not sure of how without at least one tray type blank.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chips for this car are the ID46 chips. The KD46 clone chips also do work as they what I ordered. Something I will note is that at least one of the five chips that I ordered was DOA so order enough of them that you'll have enough to fill the blanks you order.

Pairing process

  1. You'll need to get your Smartra pin, So in GKFlasher Immobilizer section use the Smartra VIN to PIN Calculator. Just note it down for right now as it's going to required quite a few times.
  2. All keys must be unpaired to start, it does not matter what key you use for this step, so click "Immo Reset" in GKFlasher, it'll ask for your Smartra pin, enter it and once its done it's thing take the key out of the ignition.
  3. For pairing the chip in your OEM key it has to be done by taking one of your new keys without the chip installed and hold the heads of both the OEM one and the new key together but the blades pointing away from each other. Then you insert the new key side into the ignition, turn the ignition to on whilst continuing to hold the OEM key and the new key together. You can not let them separate till after the chip inside the OEM key is paired.
  4. Click "Teach Keys" in GKFlasher, it will ask for your Smartra pin again, enter it then click "learn key 1". Once it asks "learn key 2" you can put the the OEM key elsewhere, just don't remove the new key from the ignition. If you are only making one spare just insert the keys tray with a chip into the key and continue, if you are making more than one spare don't bother putting the tray in yet.
  5. If you were just making one spare then just click "learn key 2" and once that finishes you'll be done. If you are making more than one spare then just leave that first new key in the ignition and just hold each chip to the side of the head of the key where it normally would be and click "learn key 2" once that one is done just switch the chip out for another one repeat until you have enough, then just insert them into the other new keys and test if they will start the car.
