How to Program a Vespa Key

[@ProjectDv2]

Can't thank you enough, Robot. I tried about eight times to get my new MP3 key programmed per the owner's manual, and it just wouldn't work. The damn handbook says to turn the key and wait 1-3 seconds. It SHOULD have said to turn the key until the immobilizer light goes out, more like 1-1.5 seconds. After watching you do it, I had it programmed in no time at all. You're the man!

[@K0nst4nt1n96]

Same here. It worked after i tried it with the key indicator.

[@johncapuchino4216]

Robot I have learned more from you than anyone else since I got into Vespa's Thanks alot bro

[@lura878]

thanks 👍🏾

[@ชานนนท์สอาดปรุ]

The shirt and the fog cap are so cool.

[@briank5486]

thanks so much robot, i just got my blanks from your shop in the post yesterday, took them to a locksmith today and programmed them in front of the store. there must be an elf in the key which makes it function. thanks so much

[@raymaramara1979]

Thanks Robot. Just remember folks, after programming blue keys, you have to re-insert the master key again to "confirm" it; otherwise, it will start the motor once, and not do it again. IOW, Master, then Blue, then master again.

[@aloha08]

Robot..your videos are fantastic! My Vespa primavera came with the red key only. I got a blue key and had it cut to the red key. I brought them home and followed your video. When I put the red key in and flip out the tab, it will blink twice and then go solid red. When I put the red key in with the tab in, it just blinks once. I pull it out and insert the blue key, let it blink once, and then put the red key back in and let it blink once again and pull it out. When I put the blue key in, it still blinks three times.

[@RobWills81]

Very handy video... hoping to follow the same process when my blank key arrives 🤘

[@markfelstead2507]

i love your channel... saved my ass yesterday when I could not start. my scootere. Great T shirt, cannot say the same about the haircut! I know it is shorter these days!!

[@PhilippM3011]

Thank you. Nice greetings from Germany

[@jelenadurovic6781]

Has something changed for 2022 Vespa? I bought Vespa Primavera 125 and it can not be programmed this way.

[@ItsLotus99]

@3:30 - So to authorize a new Blue key, you need to also have your existing Blue key? Isn't the whole point of this procedure to be able to get a NEW Blue key authorized if you lose your Blue key?

[@johnwilcox8883]

From Cornwall UK, thanks for your brilliant posts, so informative, a great help in maintaining these excellent scooters. mine's a 2009/10 GTV 250ie & I love it.

[@jeffreyhurst9552]

Thank you Robot. After watching your video, I was able to program the key I bought on Ebay. I tried using the instructions in the manual for my Vespa GT200 but failed. You saved me an embarrassing trip to the dealer. I wish your shop was nearby.

[@WelderRiffer]

Thank you Mr. Robot for your informative and interesting channel ! Since there is no Piaggio service center in my country I need your help. I bought a 2006 GTS 250 at the USA auction, which has only two blue keys. Unfortunately the red key was not given to me, so there is no card with code. My blue keys can't start the engine. The code light flashes 3 times and then lights up constantly. Can I buy a red key (which is sold in ebay) and program the immobilizer of my scooter using it? If not, is it possible to get some kind of security code from the official manufacturer? Or will I have to buy a CDI module with the keys? I beg you to help, because I have long time dreamed of such a legendary scooter.

[@davenportmb]

Thanks! I had to try and recode some new keys and the LED on my dash doesn't work - this video really helped me with the timings!

Hello Robot! I have just lost the blue key of my GTS 300, 2016. Should I follow the same procedure? Should I buy the blue key in blank and follow the instructions on your video? Thank you!

Have a 2006 GT200 L bike has had a few owners only came with a single blue key. How do you get ahold of a programming key? You mentioned cloning I’m in Canada. I don’t mind sending key down as winter. Hopefully a quick turn around? Thank you Robot

[@stevenwagner1244]

I have a question. I believe the answer would be "yes". I would like to make a duplicate of my Piaggio LIBERTY 150, 2022. Would it be the same procedure? Thank you for your response. And also... thank you for all of your videos. Very informative.

Worked like a charm!

The video ias good, but I have a worse problem, bought a 200Gt, 2004 model at auction, no keys, no way to contact previous owner for one. Gone to dealer to get new key and barrel, they don't have the specific program to program new keys to the Vespa. What next? Is there a scanner for this that one can buy to program the new keys?

[@Utasoma]

i lost my blue key can i program the key without the blue key only do it with the master key?

[@Mtthwpez]

If you have the red master key, then yes, you can program a new blue key. I know this is a year ago, but it helps anyone else with the same question.

[@lefteristillirides9134]

Hello Robot, with this method can i use a blank chip key? I mean a brand new key without any other programming?

[@VespaMotorsport]

+lefteris tillirides The chip must be programmed with a code before it's used. This is a service we can offer. You can send us your key with a note and we can take care of it.

I just got a et4 150 last night for free from my boss. don't know the year, but it powers on with jumper cables. going to get a battery today and spark plug. not enough juice to turn over a lot. It only has the brown key, can I ride it with that? no title, it was just a yard beater at work. and that's what it will be for at home.

Hi Robot, great tips there thank you - can I reprogram my current key with a different throttle body/ecu unit? my Throttle body is faulty and needs replacement - used ones I see on ebay don't always come with a key so wondering if I can use my key and make it work with an afternmarket unit. thanks

[@johnalbanese2750]

Hi, Robot. Great video. I have an opportunity to buy a used 2006 LX 150. The owner no longer has the brown key to give me. Are you saying that you could make me more working keys using the only working blue key that the owner has by cloning it? Would you buy this otherwise good bike or pass on it without the brown key? Thanks, man.

[@jfb92]

Thx for this video I'd like to benefit from your expertise as I have an issue with my 2008 LX125 Vespa which does not start after being exposed to an heavy rain: the led is then flashing 2 times and then is staying on after a few seconds. Looks like the rain is getting in and preventing the electronic system from working properly Any idea on what to focus on to solve the issue? Last time I had this, it started again after waiting a few days, ie when it properly got fully dry Many thx
