4.1. Assembling the Remote Key
To assemble your KEYDIY B01-3 Luxury remote key, follow these steps:
- Carefully open the remote key shell.

- If using a separate key blade, install it into the key shell mechanism.
4.2. Generating a New Remote with KD Devices
The KEYDIY B01-3 remote is designed to be generated using compatible KEYDIY programming devices. This process allows the remote to mimic the functionality of an original vehicle remote.
- Ensure your KEYDIY programming device (e.g., KD900, KD-X2, Mini KD) is updated to the latest software version.
- Connect the assembled B01-3 remote key to your KD device according to the device's instructions (usually via a cable or dedicated slot).
- Launch the KD software or mobile application ("Mobile KD" app available on app stores).
- Select the appropriate vehicle make, model, and year from the software's database.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to generate the remote. The KD device will write the necessary data to the B01-3 circuit board.
- Once generated, the remote is ready for vehicle programming.
For detailed instructions on using your specific KD device, please refer to its dedicated user manual or the 'Mobile KD' application.
5. Operating Instructions
After successfully generating the remote key with a KEYDIY device, the remote will function like an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) key for the selected vehicle. The specific functions (lock, unlock, trunk release, etc.) will depend on the vehicle's capabilities and the remote's button configuration.
- Vehicle Programming: The generated remote typically needs to be programmed to the vehicle's immobilizer system. This usually requires specialized diagnostic equipment and procedures specific to the vehicle make and model. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional locksmith for this step.
- Button Functions: Press the corresponding buttons on the remote to perform actions such as locking or unlocking doors, opening the trunk, or activating the panic alarm.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your KEYDIY B01-3 Luxury remote control, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the remote to water or excessive moisture, as this can damage the internal electronics.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not leave the remote in direct sunlight or in extremely hot or cold environments.
- Handle with Care: Avoid dropping the remote or subjecting it to strong impacts.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the remote with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Replacement (if applicable): If you have installed a battery, replace it when the remote's range decreases or it stops functioning. Refer to the battery type specified for your key shell.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your KEYDIY B01-3 Luxury remote control, consider the following:
- Remote Not Functioning After Generation:
- Ensure the circuit board is correctly seated within the key shell.
- Verify that the remote was successfully generated using the KD device for the correct vehicle.
- Confirm that the remote has been properly programmed to the vehicle's immobilizer system. This is a separate step from generating the remote.
- Check if a battery is required for your specific key shell and if it is inserted correctly and has sufficient charge.
- KD Device Cannot Detect Remote:
- Ensure the remote is correctly connected to the KD device.
- Check for any damage to the remote's circuit board or the connection points.
- Update your KD device software to the latest version.

If problems persist, consult the support resources for your KEYDIY programming device or contact a professional locksmith.
