Lonsdor K518 Review: Program key to TOYOTA successfully

Lonsdor K518ISE is good for vehicle locksmith to program keys.
Here I’d like to share how to use K518ISE to program Toyota Auris 2009 4D70 key.

Cost & Delivery:

I spent 975 euro on K518ISE with free shipping at cardiagtool.co.uk.

All the goods kept well when I received. (so satisfied!)

Now I want to share my experience on testing Lonsdor K518ISE.

Here you go!

Prepare:

Car: Toyota Auris 2009

Device: Lonsdor K518ISE

Others: Original and blank car keys/ 4D chip 70 Toyota

Main steps:

Step 1: Generate key chip

Step 2: Program key

Step 3: Test new key

Procedures:

Step 1: Generate key chip

Connect LONDSOR 518ISE to the vehicle via OBD

Insert original key into LONDSOR 518ISE key programmer

Enter LONDSOR 518ISE Menu

Go to Special Function->Chip auto-ID-> Chip auto-ID-> Chip recognition

Downloading application…

Put chip to be identified into K518 host slot and then click “OK”

Identifying chip…

Lonsdor K518 detects the chip type: 4D chip 70 Toyota/ Lexus info

It prompt “Put chip to be identified into K518 host slot”

Click “Cancel” to next step

Return to LONDSOR 518 home page

Click Special Function-> Generate key chip-> 4D chip-> Europe Toyota chip 70

Follow the prompt to put chip to be indentified into host slot, [OK] to continue. Note: Some chip data will be covered and locked up

Generating chip…

But K518 failed!

Step 2: Program key

So this time I try to program key from IMMO menu.

Select Immobilization-> TOYOTA-> Select from type-> IMMO-> Type 2(*4D* 67/68) -> Add key

(Because there is no Auris vehicle option, so I enter from type)

Note: A master key is required before deleting or adding other keys!

How to identify a key is a master or a valet?

Insert key into ignition switch, if security light isn’t bright, that is a master key; if security light goes on for 1 sec and then off, that is a valet.

Click “OK”
