Add Fiat Talento 2021 Smart Key by Lonsdor or SmartPro

 Question: 

Adding a spare smart key to Fiat Talento 2021. Which device is better Lonsdor K518 Pro or SmartPro.

Lonsdor K518 pro comes up with this when attempting to read pin. It takes 1 hour to access. While Smartpro takes a few minutes.

Why SmartPro is so fast?

It is not bypass the pin code. It actually makes UCH virgin and while in that state, it read PIN And then re-learn UCH with original working key.

It virginize UCH which allows then to read PIN without long procedure to read / write flash data. That’s how ‘Quick method’ works in Smart Pro.

It’s same method as Renault ECU Tool works with 2016+ Clio 4 / Captur.

 

For example:

Add Talento 2021 key with Smart pro using Xhorse XS MQB remote.

Need power supply support.

Add Fiat Talento 2021 Smart Key by smartpro 3

Which tool to use?

Of course Trafic / Talento is different system than Clio IV but you can also use 2 methods of doing that. Long method read and write flash and same Quick method like ECU Tool and SmartPro does.

For Trafic / Talento, the long method Read/Write flash is safer than the fast Smart Pro method because you have backup.

If somehow the tool will not read PIN code in UCH / HFM virgin state, then you have bricked car which needs online reprogramming.
If you use long method, you have backup. Lonsdor has 2016- Talento menu, for 2021 model, it needs luck.

SmartPro also has long method. Always have battery maintenance. It’s very important. It is risky on those.
