Losing all keys to your Citroën Jumper 2021 can be a frustrating experience, but with the right tools and knowledge, it’s possible to program a new key. Below is a step-by-step guide based on a real-world procedure performed by an automotive locksmith.

Tools and Equipment Required

• VVDI Key Tool Plus – Necessary for direct key programming.
• EEPROM adapter – Used to read and write data from the immobilizer chip.
• Soldering equipment – For carefully removing and reinstalling the chip.

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. Accessing the Immobilizer Module

• The immobilizer module in the Citroën Jumper 2021 is located behind the dashboard.
• Carefully remove the casing by releasing the side and top clips to avoid damaging the connectors.

2. Removing and Reading the EEPROM Chip

• Locate the EEPROM chip (95640) on the immobilizer board.
• Desolder the chip gently to avoid damaging the circuit board.
• Solder the chip onto an EEPROM adapter to read its data.

3. Extracting Key Data and PIN

• Identify the stored key data and extract the vehicle’s PIN code.
• The dump revealed two existing keys, but the goal was to program four new keys.

4. Writing Key with vvdi key tool plus

• Prepare new key transponder chips by writing the extracted PIN and new key data.
• Each key was programmed sequentially, with the fourth key added to the immobilizer’s memory.
• Verify that all four keys were successfully written before proceeding.
• Save new key data

5. Write new key data back to EEPROM

• Write the new key data back to eeprom.

6. Testing the New Keys

• Solder the EEPROM chip back onto the immobilizer board.
• Reassemble the module and reconnect it to the vehicle.
• Repeat the test with the second, third, and fourth keys to ensure all work correctly.

Done.

Will Xhorse vvdi key tool plus program Renault Clio V (i.e 2020 Clio 5) or Clio IV key? add key and all keys lost?

This is a frequently asked question.

No, Xhorse only does Renault Clio till year 2012. So it cannot do Clio 4/Clio 5 at present.

Xhorse released a groundbreaking update in 2024.  Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Max Pro received this update too.

The update is very good and tested working by many users.

We did 2014 Renault Master today with Xhorse Key Tool Plus. all keys lost. 30 second job. Easy.

One of our customers have completed the card smart key programming of Renault Talisman 2019 and Megane IV 2018 using new software patch and everything OK. It does not read the EEPROM. Seems safe and takes only about 3 minutes to make a dealer key and about 2 minutes to program keys in.

It does do some Renaults, but it does not support Clio V, Clio IV, Master 3, Duster PH3 etc.

Waiting for feature updates.
