Notes & cautions
- 1998-2002: no IMMO — plain X250/B101 blade mechanical key cut only. No transponder programming needed.
- 2003-2004: Megamos ID48 IMMO present (HON58R blade, HYQ1512V remote head key). No OBD tool with confirmed support found for this chassis — EEPROM bench approach required, no OBD path confirmed.
- Verify customer's model year before ordering: X250/B101 blade (1998-2002) vs HON58R/HD106 blade (2003-2004) are different cuts.
- 1998-2002: no IMMO — plain X250/B101 mechanical key cut only. No AKL programming needed.
- 2003-2004: Megamos ID48 IMMO present. AKL requires EEPROM bench access to the IMMO module — no OBD AKL path confirmed for this rare chassis.
- Verify year before ordering: X250/B101 (1998-2002) vs HON58R/HD106 (2003-2004).
