Transponders/remote controls not programmed at the same time will not work with the car.
  1. Connect the diagnostic tool
  2. Remove the antenna unit (A) for immobilization by turning it clockwise. Do not disconnect the switch (B). Place the antenna unit on the side of the ignition switch.

  3. The key/remote control (C) must be in the 'OFF' position. Hold the accompanying transponder (D) above the hole in the antenna unit. Turn the ignition to the 'ON' position. Hold the transponder in the same position for a couple of seconds.

    Once the transponder code has been read by TWICE, the alarm indicator diode will stop its double flashing. If the alarm indicator diode does not stop its double flashing, repeat step  3 and adjust the position of the transponder (D).

    NOTE: If the transponder code is not read by TWICE after five attempts:
    • Reset the system by undoing the clamp from the battery's negative terminal.
    • Refit the clamp to the negative terminal.
    • Carry out step  3 and onward in accordance with these instructions.
  4. Keep the transponder held (D) in the position approved in step  3.
  5. Select body system and navigate forward to TWICE using the diagnostic tool.
  6. Press ENTER on the diagnostic tool.
  7. Select Programming
  8. Select "Programming transponders and remote controls". Press ENTER.
  9. Keep the transponder held (D) in the position approved in step  3. Press OK. The seat belt warning lamp should flash to indicate that the transponder code has been recognized by TWICE.
    NOTE: If the transponder is not accepted then the seat belt warning lamp does not flash (also indicated with the message "Key not approved" in SID), which could be due to the transponder not communicating with the antenna unit.
    Start from step  3 and try again. The message "Key not approved" disappears when communication has been re-established.
  10. Follow the instructions in the diagnostic tool, with the following exceptions:

    At the first time with step  3 in TECH 2 , refit the antenna unit and re-insert the same key (C).

    NOTE: The antenna unit should not be fitted at low temperatures due to the risk of crack formation.
  11. Follow the instructions in the diagnostic tool:

    Tech 2 

    1. 11.1 Look at the seat belt warning lamp.
    2. 11.2 Press 15 times (once per second) on the key/remote control (C) unlock button until the seat belt warning lamp flashes.

      M07-:  This acknowledgment does not always work. The key is programmed nevertheless.

    3. 11.3 Remove the key/remote control from the ignition switch and insert the next key/remote control.
    4. 11.4 Turn the key/remote control to the 'ON' position.
    5. 11.5 Repeat steps  11.1 and  11.2.

      Further keys/remote controls are programmed in accordance with steps  11.3 to  11.5.

      Press 'OK' once all keys/remote controls have been programmed.

    6. 11.6 Once the programming of all keys/remote controls has been completed, check that the correct amount have been programmed:
      • Turn the key/remote control to the 'ON' position.
      • Press the key/remote control button that unlocks the boot lid.
      • SID shows the number of keys/remote controls that have been programmed.

        If the correct number of keys/remote controls has not been programmed then all must be programmed again. Select "Programming transponders and remote controls" and carry out step  11 and onwards in accordance with these instructions.

        NOTE: When the number of keys/remote controls with accompanying transponder is correct then a further programming must be carried out where an accompanying transponder has not been included in the programming. Select "Programming transponders and remote controls" and carry out step  11 and onwards in accordance with these instructions.
    7. 11.7 Carry out spare parts programming for TWICE, select the alternatives that are relevant to the car.
    8. 11.8 Perform immobilization programming.
    9. 11.9 Clear DTCs in TWICE.
    10. 11.10 Clear DTCs in the engine management system.
  12. Discard the accompanying transponder.
  13. If the return form is included in the spare parts carton then this must be returned together with TWICE within 40 days of the order date.
