FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: The EZ Installer beeps 5 times after pushing the button to initiate the pairing process and will not pair the new key.
A: Your vehicle allows a maximum of 5 paired keys. If the vehicle already has 5 keys paired to it, a new key cannot be paired. If
the EZ Installer beeps 5 times early in the pairing process, this indicates that the maximum number of keys have been paired.
Perform both the ERASE KEY and ERASE REMOTE steps. Then, try the KEY PAIRING and REMOTE PAIRING processes again.
Gray colored valet keys should be paired before black master keys or remotes.
Q: Can I use the same EZ Installer on other vehicles?
A: No, the EZ Installer will be locked to the first vehicle it is used on. You may add more keys to the same vehicle again as
needed, but it will not work on different vehicles. If the EZ Installer sounds 3 beeps at 1 second intervals, then beeps rapidly, this
signifies that the device has already been used on another vehicle. Visit CKESimpleKey.com or your local retailer to purchase
additional keys.
Q: The EZ Installer sounds 3, 4, or 5 beeps at 1 second intervals 3 times then beeps continuously.
A: When problems occur during the pairing process, EZ Installer will beep an error code, followed by continuous faster beeps.
The number of error beeps correspond to specific error codes, explained below.
