I have purchased a module, how do I activate the licence?

Peel back the green sticker on the module to reveal the QR code. Scan this in the app via 'Me' → 'Module List' → 'Add'. If the QR code won’t scan, clean it or enter the code manually.

How do I use the OBP+ICP switch?

Set the switch to 'NC' for all operations except extracting the ISN from the DME, where the device will prompt you to switch to 'CAN_R_Join'.

I can't get a good pin contact, what do I do?

Use the provided contact cleaning probes to gently clean the board contacts. Retry connection—it may take more than one attempt.

I have good pin contact but can't read data on CAS3 or CAS4 in ICP mode.

This is a known issue on old CAS3/4 boards. If your board has a C_GND probe, remove it. If the issue persists, contact support@autowave.co.uk.

How do I activate the ID48 cloning function on my Key Tool Max?

Generate 10 separate Xhorse remotes with onboard transponders, then go to 'Device Information' → 'Licence' → 'ID48 cloning function' → 'Activate'. May take up to 2 hours.

My VVDI2 won't connect when I plug it into my computer
