It is good practice to use a wire brush or nylon brush wheel to clean the newly
cut key to ensure that there are no sharp edges.


Step 2: JMD Handy Baby clones the new key

Now we have cut the spare key, and are ready to use the Handy Baby key programmer to clone the key so it starts the vehicle engine.

You should prepare a Handy Baby, your cut key and the JMD46 cloning chip.

The screen will then confirm when it is ok
to remove the original key and go to the car
to sniff the data.

Insert the original key into the ignition and place the Handy Baby antenna on the original key in the ignition. Then switch the ignition on and off up to 3 times, taking the key out of the ignition each time you turn it off.
The Handy Baby will state success when it has sniffed all the data
it needs.

Alternatively, you can hold the antenna next to the key and the aerial ring on the car.
Then switch the ignition on and off up to 3 times, taking the key out of the ignition each time you turn off.
The Handy Baby will state success when it has sniffed all the data  it needs.

Now remove the key from the ignition and put the original key back into the Handy Baby and press ‘OK’ to decode.

The Handy Baby informs you not to remove the original key during this process, and keeps you informed via percentage where it is in this task.

After a minute or 2, it
will be completed and the Handy Baby screen informs you that decoding has been a success and instructs you to insert your JMD46 chip which is in the spare key.

Insert your spare key with the JMD46 chip in it and press ‘OK’ to copy.

The Handy Baby screen informs you it is copying the key and instructs you not to move the key.

Once completed, the Handy Baby gives you the option to do a 2nd key. If you want to do a 2nd key, insert a new JMD46 chip and press ‘OK’ to copy. We only want 1 key today, so we press the left arrow to exit the function.

Now test your key and start the engine. The key will work flawlessly.
The whole cloning procedure using handy baby took under 3 minutes in this case,
but on whole it averages between 2 and 4 minutes on ID46.
