[Guest richard]

just wondered how many of you will be buying the new update for crypto key?

and any1 tell me if i heard right - you need a powerful computer to program the keys - how long does each one take to do?

just wondered,,,

buying the new update

 

buying the new update...? What new update?, is this software, device, machine or transponder related

[Guest blank]

i think richard is on about the new silca keys ehs2 which clone crpto keys

i am getting it in - its an up on rw3 - used thru a pc i think! does ford blue chip, etc;

hopefully the forum boys from dav durgess will expand properly on it for us,

AVAILABLE FROM JULY:

This is not an update, its a software package that allows the RW3 to program Texas Crypto keys via a PC, using the RW3 and the new EHS2 electronic key heads. We are offering the software package plus 20 EHS2 key heads for £377 + VAT (offer reference VE0008)

 

Yes, the computer must be powerful. The minimum specification is:

 

Pentium 4

Windows 2000, XP compatible

128mb RAM (258mb recommended)

15GB Free space on hard disk

DVD Reader

 

By late September two stand alone versions should be available. The updated RW4 and the "Fast Copy". RW4 will feature code generation, whereas the cheaper Fast Copy will be a basic two button copying machine.

 

Costs are likely to be in the region of £800 - £900. It is expected that Bianchi will launch their version later this year. We will keep you informed as information comes in.

how long will it take to program a new key?

how long will it take to program a new key?

last i heard it could take up to two hours

depending on pc speed....need a good pc...

[Guest st jimmy]

you need a pc only to update the actual transponder machine, the machine itself is a stand alone m/c..and no need to go to the car to be programmed..

 

if you allready have a rw2 or era plus m/c you can buy an add on for around £120.00 with no other m/c needed..all you need is the blanks and the electronic heads..

 

hope this helps

[Guest napster (1961-2007)]

st jimmy...you are thinking of the texcode module

for the rw2 which will not do texas crypto...

you need the rw3 + software to do the crypto keys..

[Guest st jimmy]

the rw3 is the same as the rw2, but with the tex module built in rather than having wires all over the place...which enables it to do exactly the same-crypto..

[Andy_Davenport]

You are getting your wires crossed st jimmy. The two systems are completely diffferent, Tex-code equipped RW2/Bianchi 883 will allow the user to copy Texas Fixed Code to EHS1 (Silca) / TK23 (Bianchi) key blanks, it will not copy Texas Crypto keys.

 

The new EHS2 system will do both Texas Fixed Code & Texas Crypto keys.

 

Referring to the EHS2 system, coding speeds are obviously PC dependent, but a well performing PC with the minimum required specification should code within 3 - 10 minutes, whereas a higher specification PC should code within 30 - 60 seconds.

[Guest brentlee]

just a quick note to say have you checked out the rw4 which is coming. No need for a pc to do the crypto cloning. Machine will do stand alone fixed code, texas AND crypto all in one stand alone unit with no pc required. I am just waiting to see the price

 

cheers

[chiefwiggum]

brentlee,

 

are you sure it can do crypto's?

 

i thought it could only do the texas crypto's

[Guest brentlee]

As far as i have been told it will do most of the cryptos inclu ford, but i am yet to see in writing. I think i have a list of cars it will do at work so i will post more tomorrow night.

cheers
