SIMPLE KEY USER GUIDE
IMPORTANT NOTES
► You MUST have at least one existing key that already works
with your vehicle in order to use the EZ Installer™. If you have
no working keys, return the Simple Key to the retailer where it
was purchased.
► The emergency keyblade should be cut at your convenience.
This keyblade is inside the new Simple Key and can be used to
unlock the doors should the battery in the smart key fail. It can
be cut at any local hardware store.
► Vehicle battery should be in good condition and fully charged
prior to pairing the new key. Turn off headlights, radio, A/C
fan, etc. to minimize battery draw during the process.
► Do not use the EZ Installer while the vehicle is in motion.
Unplug it from the OBD port before driving the vehicle.
► Only original remote features will work, regardless of buttons
included on the Simple Key. This key does not add remote
features that your vehicle did not have before.
► For your security, a tamper-evident security label is installed
over the EZ Installer connector. If this label is missing,
damaged, or the word “VOID” appears on the EZ Installer,
please exchange this Simple Key for a new one at the retailer
where it was purchased.
► Before pairing, familiarize yourself with the Simple Key’s
compatibility with the make, model, and year of your vehicle
on page 3.
LET’S GET STARTED
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.
COMPATIBILITY LOOKUP
Button Abbreviations:
S = Suspension, RS = Remote Start, T = Trunk, H = Hatch
***NOTE: If your key has a red shell, use activation code 121.

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.
a. 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.
b. 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.
STEP 2 (OF 2) KEY PAIRING
Instructions have timing requirements. If you wait too long between steps,
your vehicle’s computer may time out, requiring you to start over. Once
you begin the pairing procedure, move at a quick and even pace.
NOTE: If the EZ Installer is left in the vehicle’s on-board diagnostic
(OBD)
port for more than 5 minutes, an alarm will sound reminding you to
remove it.
NOTE: If at any point the EZ Installer continues to beep rapidly, please
refer
to the FAQ section for more information.
1. Find your vehicle’s make, model, and year in the Compatibility Lookup
on page 3. Turn the dial on the EZ Installer to the position listed for
your vehicle’s make, model, and year.
a. NOTE: One working key and the new key should be present
during the pairing process.
2. Enter the vehicle and ensure all doors are closed.
3. Begin with the vehicle in PARK and the engine OFF.
4. Turn hazard lights ON.
5. Using an existing, working key, start the car.
6. Remove the security label from the EZ Installer and insert it firmly into
the on-board diagnostic (OBD) port located under the dash.
a. NOTE: The location of your vehicle’s OBD port can be found in
your vehicle owner’s manual.
7. Wait up to 8 seconds and listen for 3 quick beeps from the EZ Installer.
a. NOTE: If you hear a series of more than 3 rapid beeps, an error
has occurred. Please see the Frequently Asked Questions to
learn more.
8. Turn the ignition off.
9. To continue, press and release the EZ Installer button.
10. Press the UNLOCK button on the new remote 10 times at 1 second
intervals. (Tip: You can sync your pressing of the button with the
blinking of your hazard lights.)
a. NOTE: If you hear 3 quick beeps from the EZ installer while you
press the UNLOCK button, stop and skip to step 12, otherwise
continue to step 11.
11. Wait up to 5 seconds. If you don’t hear 3 quick beeps from the EZ
Installer, continue pressing the UNLOCK button on the new remote at 1
second intervals until you hear 3 quick beeps from the EZ installer.
a. NOTE: If you hear a series of more than 3 rapid beeps, an error
has occurred. Please see the Frequently Asked Questions to
learn more.
12. Press and release the EZ Installer button to continue. The EZ Installer
will chime when pairing is complete.
13. Unplug the EZ Installer. If the EZ Installer is left in the OBD port for
more than 5 minutes, an alarm will sound, reminding you to remove it.
14. To pair additional keys, unplug the EZ Installer from the OBD port
and reinsert it. Repeat the pairing process for any additional keys,
beginning with PAIRING STEP 1.
15. Test all keys.
16. Turn hazards off.
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.
