Car Key Programming - PC01 + Car Lock Picking - PC04

This first training step enables you to become operational on approximately 85% of the vehicle fleet to intervene in: 
  • the creation of duplicate keys from existing keys
  • the management of all keys lost (AKL) via OBD on numerous models
  • key cloning
  • key virginization
  • lock picking and decoding 
  • key cutting (manual and digital)

Included in this first training step, you benefit from 2 months of post-training follow-up (Unlimited access to the Baseclé technical database and assistance).

To go further, especially in cases of total loss and bench work, we recommend completing step 2 of training which includes 1 month of post-training follow-up and the following three training modules:
  • Micro-component soldering (REF: FS01) 
  • Dump to key (REF: PC02)
  • Dump without soldering with the Yanhua Mini ACDP-2 (REF: PC05)
Download the learner's booklet to consult the various training steps and detailed modalities.

Objectives

  • Analyze a customer request to determine feasibility, intervention framework, technical scenario, and necessary resources;
  • Identify the architecture of a car key, the blade family, transponder type, and remote control nature to select suitable consumables;
  • Perform the cutting of a blank by choosing the appropriate machine, making adjustments, and checking the conformity of the result;
  • Use a manual cutting machine;
  • Distinguish and implement, within the framework provided by the training, the logics/principles/techniques of cloning, generation, programming, via OBD, renewal, or reset of compatible supports;
  • Conduct a standardized preparation and programming scenario on a tool, ECU, or simulator, then verify its proper functioning;
  • Control the quality of the intervention, mobilize a technical assistance resource, and formulate an additional need for consumables, tools, or skill enhancement.
  • Analyze the mechanical architecture of a car lock or ignition to determine the appropriate intervention method;
  • Identify and implement the tools and techniques of picking suitable for different types of vehicles;
  • Perform the mechanical decoding of a lock to identify the associated cutting code;
  • Use a digital cutting machine to perform the cutting and duplication of car keys;
  • Conduct a mechanical intervention on a vehicle in the context of a total key loss, applying appropriate procedures and methods.
