I will choose to use USB cable to connect with KC501.

Two buttons’ functions need to be master:

The left button “FR” is for reading key remote frequency while the right button “TR” is for reading transponder ID and chip type.

 

Ok, let’s begin with the first test.

 

Test 1. Read remote frequency

Place the car key close to the transponder area->Press the “FR” button->read data

Please follow this procedure accordingly, super easy and super convenient, right?

 

I will use the VW key as an example to clearly show this procedure because all the keys are the same when reading remote frequency by these two devices.

Please follow the instructions below to operate:

Place the car key to the vehicle key slot of KC501-> Press the “TR” button->read data

We will use Range Rover key as an example to clearly show this procedure instead.
