Emulating key programming on bench

[indienick]

Hello friends -

I am working on some project and I like to emulate key programming for Chrysler Smart Key on a work bench. This key here:

My question:

does anyone on this forum have experience in developing this type of system? I want to make key programming on work bench to test some new projects I am working on. So I know I need push button start, keyless receiver, antennas, door lock motor, instrument cluster, engine computer and more.

Is this fantasy or reality? I appreciate all input.

regards,

As far as I know only merc and bmw on bench...

Thanks mon. Can you point me in direction of every component required for this?
I am sure it does not mean much but I am interested to see the components.

I know there is no system like this for Chrysler yet. The purpose is for me to learn what is required to develop it for the future.

I don't see why would be problem to install whole (or part if enough) electrical system of any car model out of car, lot of work of course...

If you thinking about some sort of emulators then it is not possible...

Maybe "emulator" is not the correct word for him here. I think he want to see on a work bench if a key is successfully programmed to car, and if it operates door locks.

I got this up and running. I am able to read keys / program keys on work bench. Vehicle is 2013 Dodge Journey.

Necessary parts:

1) 12 volt power supply (10 amps)

2) Push button start switch

3) Body control module

4) RF Hub

5) Data Link Connector


UNNECESSARY parts, but used them anyway:

6) Instrument Cluster

7) Powertrain Control Module

8) ABS module


I got all parts from same vehicle. Used wiring information from Chrysler TechAuthority. Combined all CAN wires and connected all wires that ran to each other on the wiring diagrams. Supplied power / ground to all modules. Made rocker switch to turn ignition on / off for some modules.

RESULTS:

All devices that are on CAN......I am able to read the RF Hub, Body Control Module, Instrument Cluster and ABS using Chrysler WiTech software. Shows me # registered keys and lets me remove / add keys. After I programmed key, the relays inside the BCM are clicking to indicate signal received.

I still need a lock motor and the antennas for proximity and then I can simulate working key 100%.


TOday I began working on module for Chrysler remote key and also Mitsubishi remote key. This is fun stuff.
