The setup process for the Simple Key involves two steps: ACTIVATION and PAIRING. It is crucial to follow these steps in order to successfully set up the key. Skipping a step may result in the key not working properly, requiring the setup process to be repeated.
Simple Key requires two steps: “ACTIVATION” and “PAIRING.” It is important to follow these steps in order to successfully complete setup. If you skip a step, the key WILL NOT work properly, and you’ll have to repeat the setup process. Find your ACTIVATION CODE in the following chart by referencing your vehicle’s make, model, year and the button configuration of your key’s remote.

Activation:

Follow the steps below to activate your new key:

1. Simultaneously press the LOCK and PANIC buttons on the remote. The light under the left bottom button will illuminate and stay on.
2. Referencing the chart on page 3, use the LOCK button to enter the first digit of your ACTIVATION CODE, the PANIC button to enter the second digit, and the UNLOCK button to enter the third digit.

Note: The ACTIVATION CODE can be found in the compatibility chart provided on page 3 of the user manual.

STEP 1 (OF 2) KEY ACTIVATION

Follow the steps below to ACTIVATE your new key. Once you have activated your key, follow STEP 2 (of 2) KEY PAIRING to pair the key to your vehicle.

1. First, simultaneously press the LOCK and PANIC buttons on the remote. The light under the left bottom button will illuminate and stay on.

2. Using your ACTIVATION CODE found in the chart on page 3, enter the first digit using the LOCK button, the second digit using the PANIC button, and the third digit using the UNLOCK button.
   For example, KEY CODE 314 is entered by pressing the LOCK button three (3) times, the PANIC button one (1) time, and then the UNLOCK button four (4) times.

3. Now, press the LOCK button on the remote.

   • The light will now blink back the ACTIVATION CODE you originally entered. If this does not match, go back to Step 1 to start over. For example, the indicator light for KEY CODE 314 will blink (3) times, pause, blink one (1) time, pause, and finally blink four (4) times.
   • If the light blinks rapidly, this indicates an error. Go back to ACTIVATION step 1 and retry the steps using your ACTIVATION CODE.
     NOTE: You may re-enter activation codes anytime before the key is paired to your vehicle. After the key is paired to your vehicle, do not attempt to re-enter or change the button code. This will cause the key to not work.

4. Move on to STEP 2 (of 2) below to PAIR the key to your vehicle.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: The EZ Installer beeps 8 times after pushing the button to start the pairing process and will not pair the new key.
A: Your vehicle allows a maximum of 8 paired keys. If the vehicle already has 8 keys paired to it, a new key cannot be paired. If the EZ Installer beeps 8 times early in the pairing process, this indicates that the maximum number of keys have been paired. Please contact Car Keys Express customer service at 888-598-8910.

Q: Can I use the same EZ Installer on other vehicles?
A: No, the EZ Installer will be locked to the first vehicle it is used on. You may add more keys to the same vehicle again as needed, but it will not work on different vehicles. If the EZ Installer sounds 2 beeps at 1 second intervals, then beeps rapidly, this signifies that the device has already been used on another vehicle. Visit CarKeysExpress.com or your local retailer to purchase additional keys.

Q: The EZ Installer sounds 2 or 3 beeps at 1 second intervals 3 times, then beeps continuously.
A: When problems occur during the pairing process, the EZ Installer will beep an error code, followed by continuous faster beeps. The number of error beeps corresponds to specific error codes, explained below.

• Two distinct beeps at 1 second intervals indicate the device has already been used on another vehicle. The EZ Installer can only pair Simple Keys to one vehicle. The EZ Installer will be locked to the first vehicle it is used on. You may add more keys to the same vehicle again as needed, but it will not work on different vehicles.
• Three distinct beeps at 1 second intervals indicate the EZ Installer could not detect an original, existing key. Ensure an existing, working key is present, remove the EZ Installer, and begin the pairing process again.

Please contact Car Keys Express customer service at 888-598-8910 for any questions.

Q: The new key won’t pair to my car.
A: If the EZ Installer doesn’t pair the key to your car, most likely an incorrect dial position was used. In this case, the EZ Installer will beep continuously. Check the compatibility section on page 3 to confirm the correct dial position for your make, model, year, and button configuration of your original key. If the key still won’t pair, please contact customer service at 888-598-8910.

Q: The EZ Installer was unplugged during the pairing process.
A: The EZ Installer must remain plugged into the on-board diagnostic (OBD) port until pairing is complete. If the EZ Installer becomes unplugged during the pairing process, turn the ignition to the OFF position and begin the pairing process again.

Q: The vehicle won’t start with the new key or old keys after attempting to pair.
A: Please call Car Keys Express customer service at 888-598-8910.
