Hickleys: Key programming presentations
Published: 12 June, 2019
Hickleys are running a series of key programming presentations that will show the opportunities available in key programming. The evening sessions are being held around the country in June.
“The ability to copy or program vehicle keys and remotes adds additional business to service and diagnostic garages, car sales and main dealers, plus key cutters and auto locksmiths,” said Hickleys MD Robin Huish.
“The evening presentations will explain the equipment required, the technical backup available and the methods used, offering a new service to your existing or potential customers. Using the Smart Pro or Zed-FULL key programming and cloning diagnostic testers, payback scenarios of as little as seven months (or 30 key programs) can easily be achieved. Purchases using lease terms can introduce you to immediate profits as the equipment is paid for from the profit earned.
Robin added: “The presentations include live demonstrations on key programming equipment, the low-cost tools available, the huge range of keys and remotes available on a next day service and the full range of backup services included in the purchase price.”
The presentations will be held at the following locations:
Hilton York
1 Tower St, York, YO1 9WD
Tuesday 25 June 5pm - 9pm
Hilton Northampton
100 Watering Lane, Northampton, NN4 0XW
Wednesday 26 June pm - 9pm

- DENSO adds reset to e-Videns
DENSO's e-Videns vehicle inspection tool has been enhanced with vehicle reset functionality. The solution now features options for service interval resets and diagnostic trouble code resets.
Gerard Magielsen, DENSO Senior Engineer, commented: “DENSO's e-Videns solution can now perform a service interval reset (SIR) and a diagnostic trouble code reset (DTCR). The SIR can be manual or automatic, depending on the make and model of the vehicle and includes service time and mileage, oil time and mileage, brake and MOT. Diagnostic trouble code reset functionality enables technicians to quickly and easily reset the check engine light, with e-Videns rescanning all vehicle systems to confirm the codes have been reset. Available when the reset license is activated and e-Videns inspection results are saved, a vehicle reset stores all relevant servicing information in the cloud, printing data in both customer and repairer reports. A reset is required on most vehicles following maintenance work.
“DENSO first released e-Videns last year, providing the aftermarket with an end-to-end vehicle health check tool, integrating driver interview, system scanning, health check and a comprehensive vehicle inspection. The tool scans all available vehicle systems for error codes and monitors live engine data under various operating conditions. This information is then compared with reference data within the DENSO cloud to help technicians identify abnormalities and pre-empt potential issues.“
Gerard added: “The ability for e-Videns to trigger a service interval reset and a diagnostic trouble code reset not only gives independent technicians access to technology based on OE products, but will also help them boost efficiency when working with all types of vehicle.”
