Prox Key Programming Interference Autel IM508 Jeep Renegade 2016 Bling Ring

[@charlessims1076]

Wanted to say Thank YOU Jay! came across a BMW E46 that had this ring on the ignition switch. Customer's wife put that ring on the ignition one morning a week before, and when the customer went out to start the car, it wouldn't start. Customer's mechanic figured out there was something wrong with the EWS immobilizer system. When I got there, I remembered this video, removed the ring, inserted the key and started the car. The customer and his mechanic's jaws hit the floor!! Thanks again for sharing the knowledge!!! 👌

Ah.. the bling ring of job security. Making locksmiths look like rockstars 1 at a time 👍

[@ImGumbyDangit]

It's all about the Bling. Have you seen the steering wheels with "precious stones" hot glued to them to create the right aura for the car? Basically turned the airbag into a claymore.

[@locksny]

I have seen a couple along the way. I have to ask the people at the cell phone store if it bothers the cell phones when they stick them all over the outside ?? Hmm..

[@Macfish9988]

Thank you very much for that tip-bling ring. I haven’t met any bling ring yet, but it is good to know, much appreciated for sharing Sir.

[@locksny]

Any time!

I’m a locksmith & just did my first 2016 Jeep renegade & I bought an aftermarket smart key & my Autel im508 told me I had to use an OEM key right before it got to part where it told to hit the unlock button on the smart key once I’ve never seen that before & it wouldn’t work so I’m ordering an oem jeep key for my customer & I’ll give it another shot when it gets here

[@locksny]

I don't even bother with aftermarket on them anymore. I have couple videos with the same issue. OEM always walks right in.

[@TheKeyMan12]

@@locksny yea I’ve noticed that… I don’t have any problems with aftermarket on other vehicles but yea your right oem is better

[@locksny]

@@TheKeyMan12 I keep OEM and aftermarket depending on what the customer can afford. I always try to use OEM as much as possible on everything.

[@TheKeyMan12]

@@locksny yea same here I keep a variety… every now and then I’ll get a customer that wants an oem key but most people want to get as cheap as they can get. Lol… the market is different all over the place, but if I do a smart key for one of those jeep renegades or for example or a 2015 dodge charger or challenger, etc. I get $250 plus tax here in Arkansas. Some people say that’s too cheap then you get those people that want to complain and I know it’s not cheap & I know it sucks to lose your key but its definitely a lot cheaper than the dealership.

[@mrdman094081]

The good aftermarket will work. Just stay clear of the cheap ones. Stratec and Ilco are o.k.

[@geraldskinner63]

I’m yet to fun into the dreaded bling ring.;Surprised I haven’t seen more of them in Cali. Plenty of fuzzy steering wheel covers though! 🤣

[@locksny]

Your day is coming :)

Great Job. When You Got The Bling The Engine Won't Sing

[@locksny]

The glue on stones are even worse.

[@thekeyguy]

That is important information! Thanks

[@locksny]

Important when you can't get the key to program.

[@intelin123]

I get a can not comunicate with vehicle message. Does it have to be online.my im508 is not updated.and it wasnt online when i tried to program keyfob

[@fcsparrowhawk]

Had a dealer get fooled by one of those..... I told them to remove it and they thought I was full of it. They finally gave up and customer called me. I pulled the bling ring off in the dealer parking lot and programmed a key right there. They asked me what I did to get it programmed.... I told them it was a trade secret. 😛😛

[@locksny]

I have people install them and they think the key went bad.

[@garveycrooks1352]

That's right KFC never give away their secret

[@mrdman094081]

Let's hear it for the trade secrets.🤣

[@user-smartrepair]

Hello. can I ask? is it can add key with used key?

[@firefighter1241]

So that’s what Mopar needs to add to keep there vehicles from being stolen so fast. Not a program that totally blocks off adding anymore key to a vehicle.

[@locksny]

You got that right 🤣

[@wiley0714]

Humm? If your erasing all keys, (all keys lost then you would not have a key to put by the ignition to press. Once all keys are erased, then when "learning a key" you would put the key to the prox and press it. I dont get why it would ask for a key, to erase stored keys....

[@locksny]

Maybe to make sure there is no key lost in the car ??

[@mrdman094081]

It's trying to keep you from being stuck. If it erased and then you didnt have a valid key to add, ...

[@pouncerminned863]

Was it easy to remove and did you put it back on? The bling ring

[@locksny]

That one pulled right off, some of them are a pain to get off. I told them I removed it and why. Lady said she would get a "key fob not detected" sometimes. I told her that may be why. She left it off.

[@mrdman094081]

I tell the customer it has to go or else I'm gone.

[@mrdman094081]

The jewelry has got to go.

[@CN-zi7cw]

I've never seen a bling ring😂 what's the point of it?

[@locksny]

I don't know if I'll ever understand it.

[@randyfitz8310]

Bling: it’s a mindset (the sign of a sick mind???)

[@mrdman094081]

Vanity.
