Which tool to add Renault Logan 2012 (ID46 system) key? Autel KM100 or Keydiy KD-X4?
The Vehicle: Renault Logan (Pre-2013)
Model: Renault Logan 2012
Immobilizer System: ID46
Customer’s Key: Classic manual key (no remote)
Goal: Add a new remote key
Keydiy KD-X4 – Initial Failure
The process started smoothly:
The KD-X4 app was launched, and the Renault Logan (pre-2013) option was selected.
The system confirmed an ID46 immobilizer and proceeded to connect.
The tool prompted to “Read PIN Code” and then “Learn Key”.
However, after turning the ignition ON with the original key, the device repeatedly failed to read the PIN code.
Several attempts were made, but the error persisted:
“Password field… failed to read the PIN code.”
Result: ❌ KD X4 was unable to retrieve the PIN or program the new key.
Autel KM100 – Success
The technician then switched to the KM100, another compact yet powerful programming tool.
This time, the outcome was entirely different:
The KM100 successfully read the vehicle’s PIN code.
It proceeded with the key learning process without issue.
The new remote key was programmed and tested.
Test Results:
Lock / Unlock functions worked perfectly.
The new remote responded immediately.
The original key also remained functional.
Verdict: KM100 Wins
Despite the KD X4’s reputation and wide compatibility, it failed to read the PIN code on this Renault Logan with ID46.
In contrast, the KM100 completed the job quickly and reliably, proving to be the better tool for this specific application.
It became clear that the KM100 wins with the Renault ID46.
