OBDSTAR Failed to Read Renault Kadjar 2016 Pin Solution

 Problem:

I need to add a new key to Renault Kadjar 2016 smart card with NCF29A1M transponder by OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus.
Read dflash ok
Make dealer key ok
Add key failed!
Failed to read pin.
Customer card works.
Wondering if following below instructions is safe.
If I will use AKL option and non pin will be correct the customer card will not work. Am I right?

OBDSTAR Failed to Read Renault Kadjar 2016 Pin 3

OBDSTAR Failed to Read Renault Kadjar 2016 Pin 4

Solution:

Kadjar does not work through the Add key menu, it is done through AKL (all keys lost).

You always have to go through all keys lost and program original key after you read data then you can code original and new key second time.
This is process
Read flash
Save flash
All keys lost
program keys
Then Pre code new key
Program keys
Job done.

Always use battery support for read dflash and keep internet connection stable.

Autel is more stable on Renault.

The DC706 is replacing IOTerminal because it has full cloning function as well, plus many more functions such as ECM / TCM / BODY ECU, and updates are continuous.
The interesting thing is that it costs a third of the Full version of IOTerminal, therefore within everyone’s reach and without using a PC, with a Tablet and everything is done.

DC706 will record every step you performed. Users can easily check pinout and save a screenshot of the operation.

OBDSTAR DC706 menu


But DC706 will do OBD and bench mode only. It cannot do boot mode recovery as IO Terminal.

If you are looking for a ECU/BCM/TCU cloning device, DC706 is a good starter. If need a more professional device, then go for I/O terminal.

OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus Switch Activation Car List

Question: I see there is “Switch Activation Function” in obdstar x300 dp plus, Can you give me a list of which module can be activated?

 

Answer:

Instrument Cluster Activation is a bonus feature of OBDSTAR X300 DP plus/key master DP.

 

Switch activation function

(Today many instruments or audio of vehicles activate secondary power supply to go into power-on status by relevant module CAN communication on the vehicle, but sometimes an instrument or an audio is separated from vehicle CANBUS network, causing startup failure when it needs to be repaired by an auto technician. This function can simulate CAN communication to activate secondary power supply, so the instrument or the audio enters into power-on status. In this way, it not only can test and verify the instrument or the audio, but also save an enormous cost for an auto technician to purchase a large number of startup platforms of various vehicles and wiring harnesses!)

Muti-functional Jumper is required when performing cluster activation function.
