Some locksmith friends have reported programming failures when doing all-keys-lost for the Peugeot 4008/5008 (or Citroën) ID4A smart key. Here are some tips for programming the new PSA 4A smart key in an all-keys-lost situation, which can greatly increase the success rate.
Tip 1:
If the vehicle has an active alarm, here is the tip to disable alarm:
The right front wheel fender liner has an independent anti-theft horn connector that can be unplugged, or you can remove the 5-amp fuse numbered F14 in the interior fuse box.
Tip 2:
For all keys lost, the first key requires waiting 20-30 minutes; for adding a key, there’s no need to wait.
When adding a key, you must definitely have the original car key learned in. Otherwise, it won’t be able to learn [the new key].
Tip 3:
If you program a Keydiy KD ZB remote, it will have smart functions. But if use VVDI remote, must modify remote button configuration otherwise it will be no smart function.
You can program 2 original factory (OEM) keys. However, if you use VVDI or KD keys, you can program one key ONLY.
Tip 4:
After programming the key, check whether the key is locked. If it is locked, it means the key has been programmed successfully. If the vehicle won’t start, place the key near the gear shift lever and wait for more than half an hour, then hold the key close to the ignition area and start the vehicle — it should then start.
If the vehicle can start but the smart function and remote control don’t work, remove the key battery and redo the programming process.
