We've received some new info following the release of our latest video featuring new details, prompting us to highlight this information for anyone attempting this repair. Please be aware that we do not offer key code programming services, so we cannot confirm the accuracy of this information. The guidance shared here is based on feedback from our audience. 1. After the 664006 IC is replaced, the key is now in a “Virginised State” 2. In this state the key cannot be programmed to the car by just sticking it in the ignition and pressing the key’s on the Fob. 3. To programme this key to the the vehicle you need to get hold of an Auto Locksmith that has a software called “Lexia” and the hardware to go with it. It is the same software and hardware that the Citroen Dealers use themselves. 4. But that’s not all, to programme this Fob to the vehicle you will also need what is called a “Confidential Code”. This code was provided on a card when the vehicle was purchased new. If you have lost this code it can be obtained directly from Citroen by providing the VIN number of the vehicle and proof of ownership. 5. You will also need the little black transponder chip. 6. Once you have all the above, the Auto Locksmith can then successfully pair the key to the car. So in conclusion the Key Fob can be programmed to the vehicle but there is a procedure to follow. Where as before even if you followed the procedure above you would not be able to programme it because the original 664006 IC on your Key Fob was faulty.
Fab work! You're super talented! Your vids are extremely helpful and clear cut. Your explanations are thorough and informative. Keep the vids coming along sir.
Great videos ! I'm assuming the rf chip was replaced ? As it uses Manchester code encryption & provided the immobiliser I.D still remains the same ( vehicle still starts ) . You simply need to re - pair the radio & to do this, pop the key in & turn on the ignition within 10sec press any button. if no start then yes follow your steps bellow. Lexia & or xhorse tool which can extract the confidential code or main dealers £35.
