This article shares the tutorial about how to program smart key to 2018 Range Rover Sport when all keys lost by Autel MaxiIM IM608<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Car:<\/strong> 2018 Range Rover Sport
\nIssue<\/strong>: All keys lost
\nCase:<\/strong> Program smart key by Autel IM608<\/p>\n

What will you learn?<\/strong>
\n1.Cover the special tools and skills required
\n2.How to prevent your XP400 from being \u201cfried\u201d
\n3.Getting familiarized with the RFA\/KVM module and how to properly connect it to the XP400
\n4.The difference between secured and unsecured circuit boards
\n5.Complete step by step instructions on how to add a key with IM608<\/p>\n

Tools needed:<\/strong>
\nSmart key
\nSoldering kit
\nAutel MaxiIM IM608 tablet
\nXP400 key programmer<\/a>
\nAPA106 cable<\/p>\n

Before programming new keys, do the work below:<\/strong>
\n1. Remove the RFA\/KVM module from vehicle<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note: The Remote Frequency Actuator (RFA) also know as Key Vehicle Module (KVM)
\nThe security circuit boards have crystal quartz and a capacitor.<\/p>\n

De-solder the crystal-> capacitor-> connecting to the APA106 cable to do the key programming procedure. When having done that, out the crystal quartz and capacitor back to the tablet and put in the car.<\/p>\n

Note: If eight circuit board doesn\u2019t have the capacitors that means it\u2019s unsecured.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Landrover after 2018 has an OTP which means one time programming, so need to check the key chip status before key writing
\nThen start to add new smart key with Autel IM608 and XP400.<\/p>\n

Main steps:<\/strong>
\nStep 1: Read chips status
\nStep 2: Read MCU data
\nStep 3: Write MCU Data<\/p>\n

Procedure:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 1: Read DFLASH and EEPROM Dump
\nSelect IMMO Programming-> Land rover->Manual Selection->Range Rover->2015 up->Smart Key-> Start key writing<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Pay attention to the instruction of start key writing<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For detailed operation, you can press the Operation Guide button at the bottom right corner to operate.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 1: Read Chip Status
\nFollow the connection diagram to connect to the programmer XP400<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are two chips status:<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s \u201cLocking\u201d, you should click on Read\/write Chip Data (Secured).
\nIf it\u2019s \u201cUnlocking\u201d, you should click on Read\/write Chip Data (Unsecured).
\nRead out the chip status is locking<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So enter Read\/write Chip Data (Secured) menu
\nThere are two options: Read MCU Data and Write MCU Data<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 2: Read MCU data<\/p>\n

Read D-FLASH<\/p>\n

D-flash stands for \u201cData Flash\u201d where you store nonvolatile data. Nonvolatile memory is a type of computer memory that can store the data regardless of the memory has power or not.
\nRead data successfully and then save it
\nsave the save succeeded<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Read EEPROM
\nEEPROM stands for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory and is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers, integrated in microcontrollers for smart cards and remote keyless systems\u2026<\/p>\n

Save success<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Start to write key
\nSelect the D-FLASH and EEPROM file
\nThen select the key position-> Add key<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Make sure the XP400 key programmer has been connected well, and place the key to be added in the key sensing area of XP400<\/p>\n

A dealer key is created successfully<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 3: Write MCU Data
\nFollow the prompts on-screen to write D-FLASH and EEPROM separately<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, de-solder APA106 from RFA, solder back crystal quartz and capacitor, install the RFA back to the vehicle and test the key functions<\/p>\n
