When programming smart keys, for example, you need to select the appropriate option from the drop down menu and press the button “Execute”. The procedure would continue with on-screen suggestion messages on what needs to be done on you side.
(Key programming needs CEM unlocking. The CEM unlocking is a long time lasting procedure. It may take up to several hours).
You can stop the CEM unlocking at any time with the STOP button in the right side of the dialog. The procedure can be resumed on the same computer later from the point of stopping (Previous progress from the procedure start is not lost)

Please follow the on-screen instructions and once asked, insert an new (unlocked) key in the key slot. The number of the keys on screen must increase once the key is programmed. New key ID will appear in the screen log. The CEM accepts only unlocked HITAG2 transponders. Once you programm all the keys that you wish ( you need to see the number as in the second picture) you can stop the procedure and keys should already be successfully programmed and you can see it in the logs sreen behind.
If you have a transponder locked from this CEM, you can unlock it with the ProTag and reuse it. The transponder SK ( secret key ) is 6bytes long and you can find it in the screen log.
