Important notes
- The procedures are guided, with all necessary steps described with on-screen messages. Follow them in order - several are timed.
- Which all-keys-lost route you take depends on the unit: an Immobilizer unit needs Immobilizer Reset; a BCM unit needs the All Keys Lost function with a TA41 or ZN066.
