You can see the wiring diagram. Reading the d flash not an easy task but if you have the soldering skills it’s very achievable.

Besides, for the one hot connection to that little bitty capacitor it’s actually very easy to solder up.

After reading d-flash data, just learn smart keys.

You can also do it with FDRS. It takes 5 minutes with FDRS. FDRS is like $900 / year.

If some failed on F-150 with active alarm using FDRS, you can try this way with apb131.

The new apb131 adapter is pretty sweet. It adds a whole bunch of support for Volkswagens without removing resistors from the cluster.
