Smart Fortwo 450 not staring. 9 times blinking. Key teach-in procedure. 

Have a 2006 diesel and love it. Glad I have a retired mechanic specialist in Smart, Mercedes and BMW. Smart costs me $ 15 a week to drive to work.

Amazing to watch you going through the sub-menus until you find exactly what you want. Like looking for a needle in a haystack.

TREMENDOUS! I’ve got a job for you!

Does this happen with the 451??

I'm stuck on a highway with this problem going on, so i came here for this vid

hey buddy you also got the autel diag, it does it very simply also for the 451 i've done it multiple times. great video

If it is the original key on any Mercedes Benz product the easy solution is as follows: Disconnect battery in car, remove battery from key, reinstall key battery, reinstall car battery, lock and unlock door with key(not button) then start car.... This works on all Mercedes

Verry helpfull, i learn a lot from this video. Thank you verry much . So, if my kid plays with the key and touch the button more then 7 time,s Your screwt

Im sure your aware the SAM unit suffers from water ingress on that particular model of Smart. I to need Star, any recommendations ? Another quality video, definitely one of the best technical channels on RU-vid. 👍

So the maxisys ms908 is not used to program the smart key? . you failed to make the maxisys unlock the car key? I have the same problem, so I need to get the C4 from mercedez

Hi i have same car & same problem..a friend bought his diagnostic machine over, plugged it in..the key icon is on the dash..he entered vin no & followed wat it said to do & it said it was done & nothing changed..??

VERY WELL DONE THANKS FOR ALL. THAT YOU DO FOR US

This happened on mine. The 9 flashing was telling me that the key battery needs replacement.

Boas. O meu smart fortwo de 2000, quando carrego unlock ele só fecha o carro. Quando carrego lock o botão não funciona. Será que a chave precisa de programação?

i have a smart forfour ... the key is unlocking the door just fine but i cant start my car because there is a displayed on my dash .. What should i do..please help

Phew! Get to the end ok?!

Hi thank you for the video, we have a 1999 passion Had some one out with a star machine was not able to reset the code, saying the SAM is faulty comments or recomendations please

Its a Clone from star ?

Troppo lungo

Successfully progrmed with delphi clone... Tried few times with 2016 version, successfully done with 2015.. Few times got remote working but not starting

My 2004 plate 450 doesn't start sometimes it's really frustrating, the box in the middle dash board is clear when turning the key numerous of times, only after 10-20min or so the car will start displaying Netrurel any ideas on what the issue would be??

Can someone do this to you ? Like a crazy girlfriend ?

One of the clearest vids I come across!!! Thanx

So hello from 2023. I have fortwo 2006 450 that has been out of commission for the last 4 years due to this problem. My location is not anywhere near UK or europe. So where can fet the software to unlock this stupid immobilizer. Can you bypass it all together. Because its an import car even the local mercedes dealer gave up.

Hi, i have problem where the key needs programming everytime i try start the car, as soon as you switch ignition off it loses all stored keys, any ideas?

When this happen can the car lock and unlock properly?

hey leo nice job like always very informative video but i'm wondering from where you get all you information about how things works thank you

Hi everyone and especially to Louis. I had a Smart Fortwo 450 today in an AKL scenario. This particular car came from Japan and when I tried to program a key, the SAM unit did not accept the key even though the diagnostic tool told me that adaptation was successful. After that I thought that I didn't had the right keys as I have a European key with 433 MHz. I know Japanese cars come with 315 MHz remote but the think is I searched everywhere for a 315 MHz key and they do NOT exist. *Has anybody came across anything like this?*

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5yy-rVab3dA.html aquí algunos consejos para prender el automóvil !!!! Espero les pueda servir !!!

Als dit probleem zich voordoet druk opnieuw op de deursluitknop en terug op de opendeurknop en de auto zal starten. ik had vroeger dezelfde Smart en heb dat probleem ook meegemaakt. Het is dus geen defect aan de auto het is omdat je te lang gewacht hebt voor te starten en dan gaat de startmode in beveiligde stand en kan je dus de motor niet starten.

8:10 .. thank me later

Change key battery

MaxiIm608 is able to reprogram the remote control. Maxi Sys Elite didn't make it. Today I did. :)

Hey there, hopefully you still receieve notifications on this. I just now have a similar problem. Immobilizer is not disengaging, doors opening while using the 'rear entry' though. Keyfob remote does not work at all. I'm not getting a 9x Flash of either the harzards or the brakes, neither the clicking sound. I got my spare key aswell, exact same issue. Now.. it's either the Receiving unit fucking up (due to desync, possibly, though I basically drove half an hour, then got out and locked the car, beeing away barely 5 minutes until the issue) Or BOTH fobs batteries are dead (probably more likely since I've had the issue where my car wouldnt lock properly ONCE and that resolved itself after pressing a few more times.. that was months ago tho) Though I always keep my keys in my front pocket, there's barely a possibility of the keys beeing pressed, let alone 100 times or however many times SAM/whatever pre-calculates codes.. I'll be going to my dealership tomorrow (luckily right around the corner) and get new batteries (all shops were closed at this time) plus maybe will need to get the car towed and keys reprogrammed. Hopefully that'll fix everything.

While the key test procedure, where is the Key? Do i need to insert the key?

We have a smart car that was donated to my school it will not start The person who had it before they parked it I believe it was running but it went to try to start it to bring it to the school would not start pretty sure it’s at for roughly a year what could it be it cranks all the glow plugs light up but it does take a long time for the dash glow plug symbol to go away on a hot sunny day because the diesel be bad and that’s why it’s not starting There’s not even a single sign of it want to start

Der reded zu viel

When you turn star on next go back into the search by vehicle type select the correct chassis type, then once that next page comes up asking for specific stuff just push the button at the bottom of the screen that should auto search it all for you, keep the cool videos coming

How much is the machine?

Iv got a fiat 500 I would like you to have a look at...

very very nice .you are always my teacher

thanks for great video, i have Smart 2014 451 all key lost and i tried programmed new key with AUTEL IM508 only remote work , however matching process saying successful but car not starting and that key sing on dash ...can you please advise ...thanks

Wonder if could do used 06 smart car key?

Hi I have the same problem with my 450 fortwo. I called locksmith and he says he cannot find a transponder signal and telling me that my key does not have (or lost) transponder and thats why it does not work. So my question is.. did this key really lost a transponder or could it be that locksmiths machine cannot detect this particular key's transponder? And also, If I order in a set of new keys, do you think he program this key? (He said he does not have a star machine though) He said its easy but I am a bit worried since it looks like it does not work with some machines as you say. Or should I just find someone who has a star machine? Thank you very much for the video though :)

I have 2006 450 which does acknowledge sync with SAM and Key. All indications show key code is being accepted. Problem is when the ignition is turned to start, and gear shift placed in Neutral, the dash display indicates gearbox is in Park. The dash will not indicate Neutral but stays in Park regardless of shifter position. . of course the vehicle does not start. Any suggestion from seeing this problem before?

Why there are so many downvotes? I think its very helpful video so please tell me why so many ppl gave downvote.

Hello my friend,ive seen some other functions in your video like cruising control.Can we unlock some hidden functions in 450?I know that other cars are able to do so,so i was wondering if its possible for this car too.

BS this is selling ur service this is not help at all!!! What we are looking for its a tweak to solve the problem!!

Thanks for the Information but the last step which you skipped in the video didnt worked :( I should enter a code but where do i get this code from??

It’s good you weren’t sure because most of us aren’t and make the same mistakes but it’s all good

I have the same problem :(

I have the same problem today for first time,but it happens nothing :(

Hi Mate, thanks for the vid. I have the same problem on my car, it wont start. Was wondering if your located in London, if so, can you sort mine out? Or can you recommend someone?

Thanks for sharing

Hello. I have smart roadster 452. I found a locksmith here who have mb star diagnostic. The car I parked in my garage locked for 2 weeks. And when I unlocked the doors the fob not responding. It took the car to locksmith and he is able to unlock the car from the mb star but still the key fob not working. No lock / unlock / trunk button working. Any guess what should I check?

I have same issue who should I take my car to to reprogram the key thanks for help in advance

what could be problem if key teach in successfully center locking works but dont let to start engine ?

can you please tell me what you are using to connect the laptop to the car? is it a MB Multiplexer? is it just a generic data cable? im getting quotes north of $1500 for 2 keys for my 450

Hey, could you confirm what cable/connection you used with your MB star? I’m guessing the 16pin obd? Got my SAM donor working with your other video!

Does anyone know what the little screw driver sign means that keeps flashing on the dashboard ? I alsways see it when i start my car

What is the best way to go about fixing this? Buy the electronics myself or tow the car to someone who can fix this?

Hello mate can I ask you I have a 451 fortwo and does not go in reverse is that N flashing on I checked the actuator is fine I don’t know what it is do you have any ideas
