How to make a duplicate, copy of a Lada Vesta, XRAY key


In modern cars, the ignition key also has buttons. It has its own battery and needs to be changed. One of the Lada Vesta devices is a three-button engine ignition control panel with a flip key. On the Lada Vesta, the key controls the central locking, as well as the locking device of the luggage compartment. Since it is a flip key, it means it needs a special case, read our article in detail about this device!

How to open a Lada Vesta with just a key

Lada door locks are locked using a central lock. If the main Vesta remote control is lost or discharged, it will not be possible to simply open the car. Surely, you have already noticed that the door handles do not have external locks. Therefore, to open a car door using a simple opener, you must first find where to insert it. The lock cylinder is located in the same place, in the handle, only it is covered with a plastic cap in the color of the body.

If the main ignition key of the Lada Vesta is not functioning, look for the lock plug on the driver's door handle on the right. Visually, it seems to be separated from the entire handle. Find the technological hole at the bottom, insert a screwdriver or any available object into it (however, if opening the machine is not so urgent, we recommend that you use special plastic spatulas so as not to scratch the paintwork of the handle or door). Remove the plug using a "pull" motion. Now you can use the spare blade to open the lock mechanism. The above method is used with a working battery.

In case the battery is discharged, there are two options. The first is to charge the battery. The second is to use the key to open any door except the driver’s door.

general information

Unforeseen moments happen quite often in life; fortunately, many manufacturers of cars and other equipment foresaw possible scenarios. Car owners of Lada Vesta cars know that their car is controlled using the standard alarm system's flip key, but what happens if you lose it or the battery simply runs out?

in such a situation, it seems like the most competent decision, but what if there is simply no such opportunity?

The main task of the immobilizer is to prevent possible unauthorized attempts to start the engine. Typically, Ladas (in particular Prioras, Kalinas and Grants) are equipped with standard APS-6 anti-theft devices. On Luxury vehicles, standard immobilizers are activated by the manufacturer before the car goes on sale, but on vehicles of other configurations this must be done independently. Below we will provide instructions for learning the key and activating the immobilizer, and now we will take a closer look at its kit.

The kit consists of two working keys (black) and one master key (red), its task is to train the system. Using the control lamp, signals are sent about the current state of the programming process, and if it starts flashing quickly (five times within a second), then the learning process is proceeding correctly.

Stopping blinking is a sign of incorrect actions or breakdown. It may also indicate that the allotted time for training has been exceeded or that the key used was trained by another immobilizer.

Activating the immobilizer requires the following actions:

  • The doors are closed, the ignition is turned on with the red key and they wait for six seconds;
  • The key is pulled out, and the car icon on the panel begins to blink rapidly (five times per second);
  • Then, as quickly as possible (after a maximum of five seconds), the ignition is turned on with the black key;
  • Normally, three and then two squeaks will be heard, after which the ignition is turned off and the key is removed;
  • No later than five seconds later, the ignition is turned on with the red key;
  • When you hear three and then two squeaks, the ignition turns off, but the key is not removed from the lock;
  • After one squeak, the ignition is turned on again (again spending no more than five seconds on this) for two, maximum three seconds;
  • Then the ignition is turned off, but the key is not removed;
  • There are three beeps, the machine goes out, but you don’t need to remove the key right away; you need to take it out after ten seconds;
  • Check the activation of the immobilizer by turning on the ignition with any of the keys. Successful activation of the device will be indicated by a non-lit machine icon.

How to disassemble the Lada Vesta key - to replace the battery

The door control system requires energy to transmit a signal. The locking mechanism only needs a small amount of power, so the available charge of the included battery lasts for a long time. However, its resource is not eternal. When it is completely exhausted, an unpleasant situation may arise - you will not be able to open the car. It's better to avoid this.

A slow response to the command, in comparison with the normal operation of the unlocking remote device, indicates that the battery is about to discharge. Replacing the battery in the 2180 key fob occurs according to the following scenario:

  • Using the button, pull out the blade (if it is inside the case during disassembly, there is a high risk of damaging the board);
  • On the right side at the bottom of the plastic housing of the remote control, find a technological hole, insert a flat-head screwdriver (or other similar object) into it;
  • Fix the remote control with your hand, move the screwdriver down;
  • After the body begins to separate into two parts along the seam, carefully open the control panel;
  • Using tweezers (screwdrivers), hook the CR2032 battery;
  • Replace the dead battery;
  • Assemble the body - carefully snap it along the seam, starting from the side of the discarded tip.

Cases


The plastic body of the control panel is fragile, like other switchblade bollards. If dropped from human height, the ignition control panel may break. A special case for the Lada Vesta key can save the remote control from scratches and damage.

The case for the remote control is a silicone shell of different colors (green, red, orange, yellow, blue, transparent, black). The rubber of the cover is soft; upon impact, it absorbs the kinetic energy of contact. At the same time, the presence of the shell does not affect keypresses in any way.

There are many manufacturers and stores where you can buy such a case. You need to look for a department with car accessories or place an online order. The price is small - from 100 to 300 rubles.

A modern ignition control panel is a convenient device that gives respectability to the owner. If you treat it with care - protect the case from damage, replace batteries on time, do not ignore existing problems - it will serve you for a long time and reliably.

The Lada Vesta car comes with two ignition control panels: one is the main one, the other is a spare one. The basic (flip) remote control has three buttons on its body. The first two are responsible for the locking and unlocking options, and the third button is responsible for the functionality of the trunk. Spare ignition keys for Lada Vesta have a disadvantage: there is a delay in the door signal when pressed. The buyer will use the second remote control in case of loss of the main one. The spare ignition key for Lada Vesta does not have the option of opening and closing the car and is intended for use in a critical situation.


Key to Lada Vesta

Where to get a spare key

If you need to manufacture, purchase, or duplicate a Lada Vesta flip key, you need to know the number with the code that is engraved on the tag. Using this number, the dealer organization determines the appropriate kit. Some models allow the use of three or four remote controls. You can buy a Lada Vesta key at car dealerships or online stores.

In accordance with the modification and equipment of the car, the Lada Vesta key has a different shape (from the simplest to the modern folding one).

Based on this, it is possible to do it yourself.

  • There are blanks available on the market. You need to know the car model, otherwise the board will not fit in size;
  • The second stage will be copying the tip. If excluding the fasteners from the body is not enough, the product itself is disassembled, and then the blade of the Lada Vesta ignition key is sharpened;
  • Finally, to complete the work, the chip in contact with the alarm should be programmed. Craftsmen who know how to operate a soldering iron have no problem performing such an operation.

How to open a Lada Vesta with just a key

To open the car door in a way that is suitable when the battery is charged, you need to remove the cap on the right side of the driver's handle, which looks like a regular one. It is necessary to open the plug in a specific slot using a suitable object. The cap, under which the lock is located, fits tightly and cannot be removed with bare hands.

Knowing how to open Vesta without keys, the car owner can save nerves and time. Repeating the entire procedure with the plug, on a car with a dead battery, you need to replace it or charge it. If there is no power for the battery, you need to find a groove on any of the door handles except the driver's. It will open using the control panel.

2.Vitaly Gennadievich , 46 years old (prom.ua): during three years of active operation of the technical device, he replaced the batteries in the standard key fob once. Never used the spare one.
3.Vasily , 29 years old (autotoday.com): last winter I used the spare key once. The batteries on the key fob are low. I replaced them with new ones myself, I didn’t contact the service department, although the car was under warranty service.
4.Sergey Vasilyevich , 41 years old (rozetka.ua): I didn’t know about the purpose of the tag on the spare key, I already wanted to rip it off, but my comrades held an educational program on the topic: how to open the door with a Lada Vesta key.
5.Svyatoslav Kirillovich , 39 years old, (avtoflit.com): in the third year of operation of the technical device, I learned how to use a spare one. I was a little surprised by some things.
6.Gennady Arkadyevich , 40 years old, (autotoday.com): two years have passed since the purchase of the car, the key fob is functioning properly, there are no complaints.
7.Vasily , 33 years old, (drive2.ru): the key fob has already driven 75,000 km and works without any problems, the original batteries are installed.
Negative
8.Stanislav Nikolaevich , 39 years old (prom.ua): the fact that a spare key is included in the kit is good, but it does not solve the problem with an open trunk. The workshop said that the manufacturer plans to eliminate the defect by changing the program code in the firmware of the on-board computer.
9.Petr Nikiforovich , 43 years old, (avtoflit.com): he fixed the problem of an unlocked trunk on his own, contacted a service station, and bought an additional mechanical drive. Now the trunk lid is locked independently of the car interior.
10.Kirill , 32 years old, (drive2.ru): I installed a sound siren on the lid drive, I think it will scare away an ill-wisher if he opens the lid. Not the most effective way, but the least expensive.
11.Stepan Timofeevich , 50 years old, (autotoday.com): bought the car second-hand, the previous owner independently installed the drive on the trunk lid. It's not practical to carry an extra keychain, but it's reliable.
