No, key programming procedure is not implemented in Multiecuscan.
Only the remote control programming is implemented, and current version supports only Stilo and Punto.

The procedure for programming keys is actually very simple to implement (it is similar to the RC programming), but I did not implement it for the following reasons:
1. It is dangerous. While the RC programming is harmless and cannot do any damage to your pocket, the key programming procedure can - if you fail to register all of your keys and they will be permanently disabled. There is no way to re-enable a disabled key. You will need a new transponder.
2. I don't have much info about the transponders that are required for the new keys. I don't know if you can get a blank ID48 transponder and register it in the body computer. I read some info on the forums that the transponder needs to be pre-programmed with some code before registering it in the body computer.

Lani is probably quite right to avoid key programming, because if anything goes wrong, either due to user error or a Multiecuscan issue then recovering from this could be very expensive.

Either

1) Get a Fiat dealer or other garage to do it. If it goes wrong it is their responsibility to put things straight

2) Get your existing keys(s) cloned
