Step 1. Key Programming

NOTE: For vehicle security, this product requires the use of Xhorse professional equipment during the initial installation.

If you’re an automotive locksmith, make sure you have a battery and a pressing tool ready – tweezers are highly recommended for this process, and any Xhorse generation matching device.

If you’re an individual car owner, the first-time installation will require assistance from a professional automotive locksmith or repair shop to complete the process.

Here’s taking VVDI Key Tool Plus for demonstration.

• To start, carefully press and disassemble the device. Inside, you’ll find a built-in key.
• Be sure to install the battery correctly, paying close attention to the positive and negative terminals(with the correct polarity).
• Once the battery is installed, you can proceed to program it with the vehicle. As you would with a regular key.

It’s that simple! Now let’s dive into the operation steps using a BYD vehicle.

• Remote Program

Insert the Bluetooth Key Remote Module with the battery installed.

Remote Program >> BYD >> Han ID46/4A 433.92 >> Generate

Burn success.

• Detect Chip And Frequency

After generating, check the chip and frequency.

If successfully identified, proceed to the next step.

If the module is not recognized, it indicates that it is in a disabled state.

In this case, insert it back into the OBD port, pair it with the phone’s Bluetooth and use the phone to unlock the car once to activate.

• Immo Programming

Immo programming >> BYD >> 2021-(new) >> Smart key programming >> Start programming >> Key programming

Key number: 2

User the new smart key(Bluetooth Key Remote Module) and hold it close to the induction coil.

Programmed successfully.

• Test Functionality

Next, you can test the remote module.

Make sure it has the battery installed during the testing process.

If the test is successful, you’re all set!

Step 2. Bind The Device

Download and install the SmartKey Box app.

Note:

Programming completed, battery must be removed before using it.

Insert the device into the car’s OBD port, open the app and connect the device.

Then, pair the device with your phone through learning mode.

Step 3. Write OBD Diagnostic Program(Optional)

Enter “OBD diagnosis”, select the corresponding vehicle model and write the OBD diagnostic program to the device.

Note:

If your vehicle model is not currently listed in the supported models, it will not affect the functionality of your phone’s digital key. You simply won’t be able to access real-time vehicle and fault information. We are constanttly working to expand support and will provide updates as they become available.

Once you’ve completed these steps, the device is good to go!

VVDI Mini OBD Tool Add Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2018- Key

 Programming a new key for your Alfa Romeo Stelvio (2018-2023) can be a straightforward process if you know where to locate the bypass connection. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to program a key without removing the instrument cluster, using a FCA 12+8 bypass cable with 2-pin.

Tools You’ll Need

• Xhorse Mini OBD tool (or a compatible key programming device)

• FCA bypass cable (with 2 pins,  black and red wires)

• Basic prying tools

The Mini OBD tool is used to read the vehicle’s pin code and program the new key. The key programming process involves placing the new key in the bottom section of the center armrest and pressing the unlock button.

NOTE: Xhorse FCA bypass cable does not have 2-pin. You can use xtool/obdstar FCA 12+8 bypass cables or Lonsdor L-JCD Cable.

Locating the Bypass Cable

Unlike some methods that require removing the instrument cluster to access the bypass cable, there’s a simpler approach. The bypass cable is located behind a cover near the center console, which can be easily pried off. Follow these steps:

1. Remove the Cover: Locate the cover near the center console (exact location may vary slightly by model year). Gently pry it off using a trim tool or similar instrument. This cover is the only component you need to remove, making this method less invasive than disassembling the dashboard or cluster.
2. Identify the Bypass Cable: Inside, you’ll find several cables. Look for the specific 2-pin bypass cable, which may be tucked away but can be pulled out by hand. Be cautious not to confuse it with other cables, such as a blue one that may be present. The correct cable has brown and green wires.

Connecting the Bypass Cable

Once you’ve located the bypass cable, connecting it is simple:

• Black to Brown: Attach the black pin of the 2-pin bypass cable to the brown wire.
• Red to Green: Attach the red pin to the green wire.

This straightforward connection allows the diagnostic tool to communicate with the vehicle’s system for key programming.

Programming the Key

With the bypass cable connected, proceed with the key programming:

1. Place the new key in the bottom section of the center armrest.
2. Use the Xhorse Mini OBD tool to read the pin code and initiate the programming process.
3. Follow the tool’s prompts, which typically involve pressing the unlock button on the key.

Reassembling the Vehicle

After successfully programming the key, reassemble the vehicle:

1. Reattach the Cover: Position the cover by aligning the top first, then gently press the bottom until it clicks into place. There’s no need to remove or disassemble additional components, as some methods suggest.
2. Verify Functionality: Test the new key to ensure it works correctly with the vehicle’s locks and ignition.

Why This Method Works

This approach is efficient because it minimizes disassembly, saving time and reducing the risk of damaging interior components. By accessing the bypass cable through the center console cover, you avoid the complex process of removing the instrument cluster. The brown-and-green wire connection is easy to identify and connect, making it accessible even for those with limited automotive experience.

Conclusion

Programming a key for a 2018-2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio doesn’t have to be complicated. By locating the bypass cable behind the center console cover and using a 2-pin bypass cable with a diagnostic tool, you can complete the process quickly and efficiently. Just remember: black on brown, red on green, and you’re good to go. This method ensures a clean, professional finish without unnecessary disassembly, leaving your Stelvio ready for the road.
