Step-by-Step Guide to Copying ID48 96-Bit Chip
1. Accessing the Chip Identification Copy Function
First, power on your CGDI K2 and navigate to the menu. Look for the option labeled “Chip Identification Copy,” and then select “Decoded Copy.” This is where you will initiate the copying process.
2. Initiating the Copy Process
Within the application, you will find the “48 (96 bits) online calculation” option. It’s crucial to read the instructions carefully before proceeding.
To start the copying process:
- Insert the original key into the CGDI K2's induction coil.
- Place the antenna of the CGDI K2 near the car's ignition coil.
- Follow these steps repeatedly:
- Insert the original key.
- Turn on the ignition switch.
- Turn off the ignition switch.
- Remove the key.
- The CGDI K2 will collect the necessary data from the original key.
3. Data Collection and Calculation
Once you see a prompt indicating that the collection is complete, place the original key back into the induction coil. At this point, CGDI K2 will connect to the server to perform the calculation.
The calculation process typically takes between 2 to 10 minutes. You can exit this interface to perform other tasks while the program computes the necessary data automatically.
4. Retrieving the Results
After the calculation is finished, return to the “48 96 bits online calculation” section. Click on “Query Last Result” to retrieve the results of the calculation.
It’s vital to verify that the original key's data matches the calculated data. If there’s a mismatch, don’t be disheartened; simply repeat the verification process.
5. Copying the Data to a New Chip
Once you have confirmed that the calculation was successful, you can proceed to copy the data to a new chip:
- Insert the new blank ID48 96-bit chip into the designated slot on the CGDI K2.
- Follow the prompts on the screen to complete the copying process.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully copied the ID48 96-bit chip. To ensure everything is in order, compare the key ID from the original key and the newly copied chip.
Verifying the Copy
After copying, it’s essential to verify that the original key and the copied chip share the same information. For example, if the Key ID is 08 CA2 A95, check that the chip also displays 08 CA2 A95.
In the event of any discrepancies, you may need to repeat the copying process to ensure accuracy.
