Black key cloning 2003 M620

[gregrnel]

I have the red, no blacks. I have the blacks cut, tried this method w/o success

1.Red on/off
2. Red on /off again (the countdown does start)
3. Pull red out
4. put black in
5. On/off black
6. Pull black out.
7. Red in, on/off.

Any ideas? Perhaps this method is for a different year/model

Thanks!

I don't know from experience but I thought you needed a special tool to program the key.

Hope this helps:

In the event of replacement of one or
more components of the immobilizer
system (e.g. the black keys, the
decoder, or the engine control unit),
the parts in question must be
programmed. To perform this
operation, proceed as follows:
- check that the motorcycle battery
terminals are correctly connected
and that the battery is in perfect
condition.
- Prepare the red key and the black
keys.
- Insert the red key (3) in the ignition
switch (4).
- Turn the key to the ON position to
switch on the instrument panel.
The instrument panel multifunction
display will show the number of
keys inserted (“1” in this case) and
start a countdown from 30 to 0.
Before performing this action
ensure that the ignition switch
remains in the OFF position for at
least thirty seconds.
- Check that the countdown has
started and turn the key to OFF
before it terminates (around three
seconds).
- Remove the red key within
15 seconds, insert a black key (5)
and turn the switch to ON. The
display will show the number of
keys inserted (“2” in this case) and
start a countdown from 30 to 0.
- Check that the countdown has
started and turn the key to OFF
before it terminates.
- Remove the black key within
15 seconds, insert another black
key (5) and turn the switch to ON.
The display will show the number of
keys inserted (“3” in this case) and
start a countdown from 30 to 0.
- Check that the countdown has
started and turn the key to OFF
before it terminates.
- Remove the black key within
15 seconds, insert the red key
again and turn the switch to ON.
The display will show the number of
keys inserted (“4” in this case) and
start a countdown from 30 to 0.
- Check that the countdown has
started and turn the key to OFF
before it terminates. If the
programming sequence has
terminated successfully, LED (1)
on the instrument panel will flash.
