5.1 IMMO Key Programming Functions

The MUCAR KEY581 offers comprehensive immobilizer and key programming capabilities:

• Immobilizer Matching: Electronically binds the key chip with the vehicle's Immobilizer system (ECU) through authentication, ensuring only authorized keys can start the vehicle.
• Key Generation & Matching: Create and match new keys to your vehicle.
• Remote Generation: Creates or copies the wireless signal of a vehicle remote control, enabling remote operations such as door unlocking and trunk access.
• Remote Cloning: Copies the wireless signal of an existing remote control directly to a new remote, allowing the new remote to fully perform all original functions (e.g., unlocking, car locating).
• Klonu tat-Transponder: Duplicate transponder keys.
• Iġġenera Transponder: Create new transponder keys.
• Immo Data Tool: Access and manage immobilizer data.
• Anti-theft Information: Retrieve and manage anti-theft related data.

5.3 Key Frequency Detection & Ignition Coil Detection

The device can detect key frequencies and perform ignition coil detection.

5.4 Read Voltage & Leakage Current Detection

This function is specifically for leakage detection and voltage detection of remote controls. It is not intended for other products.

• Sejbien ta 'tnixxija: Detects current leakage in the remote, supporting a current range of 1 microamp to 35 milliampere. Ensure no battery is inserted into the remote during this test.
• Voltage sejbien: Tiskopri l-voltage of the remote battery, supporting a voltage firxa ta '0V-36V.
