Description
What's the new feature?
After generating a new transponder with TANGO Programmer, you will
not need any additional diagnostic equipment to program the
generated transponder to the car! It will start the car directly,
even on new FIAT CODE 2 system. And it's also used in PSA
Group vehicles! You only have to write the new file back into
the immobilizer system!

What's the key maker usage?
Key maker usage
consists of a four steps. The *-th step is additional and depends
on a vehicle model.
1. Open an immobilizer dump file.
2. Choose number of the key you want create.
3. Place a transponder into the coil and click the WRITE
button.
4. In some cases the program asks you to save a modified
immobilizer dump. This dump must to be written into the
immobilizer.
First of all, take a look at this picture. The "Loaded File"
window displays the immobilizer file name. Ensure that a valid dump
is stored. The "Maker" window displays selected maker name. Ensure
the right key maker selected.
The "info" windows display an important information:
1. Original transponder**-Informs you about type of the original
transponder
2. Allowed transponder**-Informs you what type of transponders
is suitable for the key maker
3. Data location**-The immobilizer memory may be stored in various
chips, the description informs you about from where you have to
read a dump. Some immobilizers can have various chipsets. In this
case the field displays several possible chips. Find one of them
inside of the immobilizer and read it.
4. Data size**-Each chip has certain memory size, the key maker
accepts files with the described size.
5. Data format**-This field appears in case of *3CXX eeprom
seria.
There are two standards of data layout:
Intel format and Motorola format or Little Endian and Big Endian
respectively.
The data layout depends on a chip-programmer that is used for
eeprom reading.This field informs you what kind of format is
suitable for the key maker.Usually you can see that both formats
are suitable. It means that the program can understand any data
layout.
How to create a key?
Firstly, run the key maker
interface according to the vehicle and read information in the
"Info" window. Watch theData location field describes the memory
chip. Find out the chip inside of the immobilizer and read it. Save
the read data (dump).
Click the "OPEN IMMOBILIZER FILE" button and load the saved
dump.
The program will analyse the dump.
If the dump is correct the "WRITE" button will become active and
the "Keys" window will display the range of key numbers that can be
created.
Take a look at the "Info" window, the Allowed transponder
field.
Ensure you use a transponder exactly the indicated type.
Place the transponder into the coil.
Choose the key position you want create in the "Keys" window.
Click the "WRITE" button.
This starts the writing process and transponder will be stored with
the appropriate data.
At this point you may be asked to save a new immobilizer dump.
The program displays a standard File Save dialog where you have to
save the data.
After this you will be informed about the new data saved and must
be written into the immobiliser.
Write the new dump into the immobilizer. Now it is ready to operate
with the created transponder.
If you are not asked to save a new file, it means that immobilizer
is ready to operate with the created transponder without file
replacing.
Finish.
