How to use Autel AP200 to Add Maserati Ghibli key

How-to: add Maserati Ghibli key with Autel MaxiIM AP200 obd2 code scanner.

 

Technical difficulty:Medium
Potential to screw it up:Low
Impact if you do screw it up:Potentially catastrophic but youprobablywill just need to get a local auto locksmith to come and bail you out.

 

You will need:
iPhone (Had this already)
Autel AP200(would recommend that anyone has it, and gets the free brand for their Maserati. Great piece of kit)
Autel Chrysler software pack (assuming you’ve used your free one for the Maserati) £19.99

Android phone (Borrowed from work)
ELM327 compatible OBDII (had one of these already, but if you need one £8.99
Chrysler Pin Puller software for your Android phone (Free, but I have heard some people needed to buy 15 tokens for $19

A key (dur) Ebay if you want a second hand genuine one, or Aliexpress: (Must be 433MHz and full key with boot opening, not remote start): £22.08

Total cost to me: £42 plus some postage (actually less than that as my key turned up damaged and I got a £13 refund….)

 

 

First things first. Itmaybe possible to copy / clone an existing key to another key (not the type I’ve linked below). Never felt this was a good idea, as if you lose one key, anyone that finds it can use your car. You can’t delete one key from the car since they are the same and the car can’t tell the difference. Also, if you do pair your personal settings with the key fob, it’s not going to work as (again) the car will see the keys as the same.

From the above, it may be clear that they key is NOT programmed to the car, but, just like the 4200 and GT, the CAR is programmed to accept the key.

1) Plug your ELM OBD device into your OBD port.
2) Using your Android pone, pair the bluetooth to the ELM327 and connect to it (mine was always flaky but managed in the end)
3) Install the Chrysler Pin Puller software.
4) Make sure you have a good internet connection for your Android phone
5) Open the Pin Puller and connect it to your ELM327. (There is a big button for this purpose)
6) Press ‘Select Type’ in the Pin Puller software and select RHF_1 2012-2014
7) Buy tokens if needed
Press start.
9) Wait (in my case about 2 seconds) and you’ll be rewarded with your VIN, a part number, and critically a PIN. Make acarefulnote of this.
10) Disconnect the ELM and put your Android phone away
11) Plug yourAutel AP200 scannerinto your OBD port
12) Connect to your iPhone
13) Open the MaxiAP200 program that you installed when you set up your AP200 with your iPhone
14) Hit ‘Service’
15) Hit ‘Immo keys’
16) Select ‘Chrysler’
17) Select ‘Manual Selection’ (There will be a delay as data is loaded)
1 Select 2014 from the year
1 Select Hot Function
19) Program Ignition fobiks (RFH)
20) Press OK
21) Ignition off
22) Enter you pin from step 9
23) Select ‘Yes’
24) Press OK on the message
25) When the next message comes up, hold the key near the start button (not the central console, though I doubt it makes much difference) and press the unlock button
26) Press OK
27) Wait for the progress bar to complete
2 Youshouldget a message that the FOBIK was successfully programmed. If not it will suggest you try again. You can test success by pressing the lock button, and LO! the doors will lock.
29) Enjoy.
