Frequently Asked Questions
Can I clone a KEYDIY TIB remote to another TIB remote?
No. The new function clones an original (OEM) smart key to a KEYDIY KD TIB remote.
Can I use a TB remote instead of a TIB remote?
No. This function supports TIB remotes only. According to KEYDIY, TIB can generate some remotes that TB cannot, such as a Volvo 8A chip key, and also replaces the TDB remote.
Does KD-MAX support the same function?
Yes. Keydiy KD-MAX receives the same upgrade for TIB 8A smart key direct cloning.
Is programming required after cloning?
No. Once the new TIB remote has been cloned successfully, no additional programming is required.
