How do I program the newer type of Vespa GTS Key with the Philips Type Transponder?
From around 2018/2019 the Vespa GTS Scooters use a different immobilizer system from the older Vespa GTS models. This change effects the Vespa GTS scooters fitted with the M4G1 Throttle Body, pictured.
If you have lost your blue service key for you Vespa GTS Scooter then you can program a new Vespa key using the steps outlined below. We sell suitable replacement Vespa keys here on our website. These come with the new type of Philips chip.
Note: This Vespa Key Programming Procedure is slightly different to that used on the older models. The difference is that you have to turn the key to the ON position, and then turn it back to the OFF position BEFORE the LED light extinguishes on the speedo!
First, you need to make sure that you have the Master Key for your Vespa GTS. The oem Vespa Master Key is a slightly larger and Brown in colour.
If you have lost your Master Key, it is not a problem. We can create a new complete set of Vespa keys for you with the correct immobilizer codes. 1 x Master Key and 1 x Service Key.
New Vespa Key Programming Procedure:
Assuming that you have your Brown Vespa Master Key, use the following procedure to Program a new Vespa Blue key. If you do not have a Vespa Master Key, Contact Us and we can make one for you!
-
Insert your Vespa Master Key and turn it to the ON position. Then, turn it back to the OFF position BEFORE the immo LED turns off.
-
Quickly insert your new Vespa Blue Key and turn it to the ON position. Then, turn it back to the OFF position BEFORE the immo LED turns off.
- To finish the programming procedure, quickly reinsert your Vespa Master Key and turn it to the ON position. Then, turn it back to the OFF position BEFORE the immo LED turns off.
It is important to insert each key quickly after removing the previous key or the procedure will not work. I think you have a maximum of 10 seconds between each key.
The new Vespa GTS Key is now programmed to the vespa immobilizer system.
NOTE: Sometimes it can take several attempts to program the new Vespa Key.
NOTE 2: On the older Vespa GTS scooters, typically from before 2018, the keys contain a different type of transponder chip with different encoding. If you have an older Vespa GTS scooter, then please read our Vespa key programming instructions.
