Key2GO & 1KEY Programming
Note: Key2Go feature is only functional with 40-bit encryption, see "Understanding the Difference Between a Ford 80
Bit & a 40 Bit" on page 5 for more information.
This feature is required if only one key is available, the installation will remain the same as the two-key method, for
programming refer to page 17.
Key2GO has been designed and developed to bypass the advanced encryption layers found in modern vehicles. It uses
an array of servers to generate a duplicate of the original key, enabling the installation of a remote starter without having
to give up a key.
The advantage of this feature is that for vehicles where Key2GO is required, the customer does not have to give up a key
and it is much safer than having a key in the box under the dash.
The disadvantage is that it does take a little more time to get the module programmed (when required); however, we have
only made Key2GO a requirement when absolutely necessary. Consequently, for vehicles where a secret key can be
generated at the module level without Key2GO, we simply do not require it. This allows you to save time, and time is
money. Why force you to use Key2GO if you don’t have to, right?
We do make it optional for users who want to use it for 1KEY programming; otherwise, optional unless absolutely
required.
All Key2GO-compatible firmware are clearly indicated in the function list of each vehicle search result page and will also
appear on the flash page. Any first-time user must re-register to gain access to Key2GO, and some additional information
will be required to complete the registration process, such as your Directed account number and store name.
Key2GO is compatible with XpressVIP 4.5 or higher and requires an XKLoader2.
Some vehicles require two original keys to complete the installation of a remote start system and customers often only
have access to one of them. In the past, this frequently resulted in the customer leaving to find a second original key and
simply never coming back, therefore being a lost opportunity for your business to make money.
With 1KEY, this situation will never happen again!
This feature allows you to use one original key and the server as a proxy for the second key can be used to configure the
bypass in the vehicle. 1KEY prevents the hassle of having to ask the customer for two keys. It also keeps this value
customer in the store and focused on the product.
Note: Version 4.5 or higher of XpressVIP must be installed on your computer to complete this programming sequence.
Refer to page 17 of this guide for instructions on how to program the Key2GO and 1KEY features.
