Abstract: A key duplication system is described herein. A key duplicating machine includes a front panel having a slot to receive a key therein. The key duplicating machine also includes a sensing device configured to capture data related to a master key and a cutting member configured to cut a key pattern into a key blank. Additionally, the key duplicating machine includes a display to provide an interactive interface. The interactive interface renders audiovisual instructions based on a mode of the key duplicating machine.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system for providing assistance when operating a key duplicating machine or when programming a new vehicle key. An application operating on a mobile device receives information regarding the vehicle and key application and will then assists the user while programming the key associated with the vehicle. In some examples, a key duplicating machine receives input from the user and passes data to the application in order to provide better and more specific assistance.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for duplicating a master key for a vehicle. The system includes determining that a first device is communicating with a t/r device, the t/r device including an antenna for communicating with the master key. A cloning application associated with said t/r device may be operating on the first device. The t/r device may retrieve security information from said master key. The cloning application may communicate the security information for said master key to said central network system. The central network system may generate duplicate security information. The central network system may communicate the duplicate security information to the cloning application. The cloning application may transmit the duplicate security information to the t/r device to program a duplicate master key with the duplicate security information.
