Exchange Sets assembly instruction
Box
Exchange sets can only be assembled to boxes marked with ‘IXL’ or certain article numbers (AN).
Ready are AN ‘01501114xxxxxx’ or ‘01501115xxxxxx’.
Boxes of older product generations or for key fobs with side button keys are not exchangeable.
Screwdriver
A flathead / slotted screwdriver is required.
The tip of the screwdriver must not be too big.
Key bed
Open the packaging and get out the key bed.
One keybed is part of each exchange set.
The 3-digits variant code is embossed on the key bed.
Levers
Two levers are part of the exchange set.
One is marked with an ‘L’ for left, one states an ‘R’ for right.
The 3-digits variant code is embossed on each lever.
OPEN THE DRAWER OF THE BOX TO ITS FULL EXTENT
1. Push drawer open
In case it does not open on push, the flinkey box might be locked and you need to unlock it via the app first.
2. Push gently from the downside
You will feel that the drawer is now “offering” to swing further open.
3. Move drawer further
No force required – it’s moving easily.
At the widest opening angle you are able to look inside and see i. e. the levers.
TAKE OUT KEY BED
4. Place screwdriver
You can see two spaces that are built to slip in with your flathead screwdriver.
In case, it does not ‘enter’ easily, please switch for another one with a smaller head .
5. Gently lever out key bed
Start in one of the ‘entry spaces’ and move slightly.
Go to the opposite space and move up more.
If applicable, repeat these steps until the key bed is fully ‘released’.
6. Carefully remove key bed
Pull to the back first.
Afterwards move up and out.
Make sure not to damage the electronics located underneath the key bed.
INSERT NEW KEY BED
7. Place underneath flat clip
Pay attention to the direction indicated on the key bed.
Slide the key bed in carefully.
Pay attention to the electronics and flat cable located near the drawer hinge.
8. Press from above
Make sure to click the key bed firmly into the clips.
TAKE OUT LEVERS
9. Press on levers from above
Do not hesitate, the levers are tightly assembled!
You will need a certain amount of force to release them.
10. Remove both levers
Ideally, hold the box with the drawer pointing to the ground.
Be careful that the levers do not fall into the internal mechanism of the box.
In this event, gently shake out the levers – they are not meant to remain in the box!
INSERT NEW LEVERS
11. Insert new levers
Start with the lever marked with an ‘L’ and clip it into the left black counterpart.
Continue with the lever marked with an ‘R’ and clip it into the right black counterpart.
Note, design-wise they cannot be assembled in the wrong spot.
12. Clip in both Levers
Do not hesitate – it requires a certain amount of force to push the levers upwards!
You will feel and hear it snapping into the clip as soon as a lever is in the right position.
Make sure to have both levers clipped in properly all the way.
FINALIZATION
13. Move Drawer back
No strong force required – just gently push back into the original position.
Once you hear the click, the drawer is back to the default operation position.
14. Pack up loose parts
Though the variant is embossed on the old parts, the specification is hard to identify in the polybag.
Feel free to use the card for documenting when and where the delivered exchange set was assembled.
And, to state what exchange set variant is currently in the polybag.
15. Specify new car details
Go to your fleet management system and specify the future car the flinkey box will be used with.
In case you use the flinkey portal, open the car’s section in there.
After you logged in select the car the flinkey box was previously used for. Adjust the car details and save.
How to install the KPC Adapter?
We advise to revisit the quick start guide and look into the instrucktions regarding the Key Fob Power Control (= KPC) Adapter. In case you require an instruction on how to replace the battery of your specific key fob, get in touch with us.
Where to adjust the vehicle information?
After you assembled the exchange kit the flinkey box will only lock & unlock vehicles that use the key fob the new exchange kit was designed for. Hence, you should change the vehicle details for the particular box. In your fleet management system or the flinkey portal.
Want to order additional exchange sets?
Depending on your use case, it might make sense to order a selection of exchange kits to open up for more flexibility. We are adding new exchange sets ongoingly – you may get in touch with us or check the overview for the ones you require.
