Questions about Radio hand-held transmitter 868 for WiPro III, WiPro III safe.lock

You can generally expect to be able to use them for about two years. The number of transmission signals does not affect the lifetime as much as long cold periods do.

The radio components use standard button cells (type CR2032). These button cells can be stored for up to ten years (refer to label). However, the button cells should be replaced every two years in order to adhere to the warranty conditions (the manufacturer offers a 2-year warranty against leakage).

We recommend to use Panasonic batteries.

In order to remind yourself to replace the batteries in time, we recommend to change them, for example, with every vehicle inspection and/or gas inspection.

If the battery is running low (<2.6V), the control unit issues an acoustic signal (for two seconds) when triggering the radio component and the red LED of the transmitter only turns off after about 30 seconds. If one button cell is weak, it is best to replace all of them.

For further information on changing the batteries, please download our quick guide in the Support section.

If a 2-second-long signal tone is emitted by the alarm system, a taught-in accessory part requiring a battery change was actuated immediately before that. This is also indicated by a 30-second-long visual signal on wireless magnetic contacts and radio cable loops.
Occurs:

• when wireless magnetic contacts on doors/windows/hatches are opened/closed
• when remote transmitters and conversion boards are actuated (‘remote controls’)
• when the cable loop is used in the holder

If a wireless accessory sends an alert, the other button cells are probably just as old. A complete change is recommended. Please take button cells to a battery recycling centre or collection point. They can be recycled there.

The quick guide to changing the batteries is available for download in our Support section.

You can replace the batteries (CR2032 button cells) in wireless components yourself.

To change the transmitter battery in a wireless magnetic contact:

Lever open the housing at the notch on the long housing side. Take out the printed circuit board and replace the battery with one of the same type (CR2032). Ensure correct polarity when inserting the battery.

To change the transmitter battery in a radio cable loop:

Open the housing by removing the screws on the bottom. Replace the battery with one of the same type (CR2032). Ensure correct polarity and correct alignment of the rubber seal when inserting the battery.

To change the transmitter battery in a wireless remote control:

Open the housing by removing the screws. Replace the battery with one of the same type (CR2032) and ensure correct polarity when inserting.

Please make sure you don’t leave any fingerprints on the button cells when you change the batteries (this can lead to a higher self-discharge rate). Please take button cells to a battery recycling centre or collection point. They can be recycled there.

The following models are affected:

• Fiat Ducato (2006-2018)
• Peugeot Boxer (2006-2018)
• Citroen Jumper (2006-2018)
• Iveco Daily (2006-2018)

Since model year 2019, the original vehicle remote control key has had a rolling code. This can be recognised by the new key ring eyelet. It is made of black plastic instead of the previous chrome-plated metal.
Through the use of WiPro III safe.lock, you also have several comfort functions, e.g. control of the central locking system with the Thitronik wireless remote control 868 and unlocking of the vehicle doors via the Pro-finder or via Bluetooth with the network module, available to you.

Burglars unlock the vehicle with a copied ‘unlock’ signal from the original vehicle remote control. The vehicle cannot distinguish between this external signal and the original signal and unlocks the vehicle without leaving any signs of break-in. And because the signal is routed through the CAN bus, all CAN bus alarm systems are disarmed.
Because this break-in and theft of valuables cannot be proven (no traces left), the insurance doesn’t pay.

• Remove WiPro III central panel (or have removed)
• Complete, print out and sign this form
• Send both together to Thitronik (without further accessories or keys!)
• WiPro III receives the upgrade
• WiPro III is returned along with the invoice (to be paid by direct debit
• Central control unit is reinstalled the wires for controlling the central locking system are connected
• Re-teach the existing radio accessories (input and output tests make this step necessary)
• You can now safely lock/unlock your vehicle
• The serial number is changed in the Thitronik app (1050-004 or higher)

Any WiPro III can be upgraded.

For the time being, you should no longer use it without a safe.lock product. The ‘unlock’ signal for the replay attacks can also be recorded outside your range of vision.
Tip: Remove the button cell from the flip key and unlock your vehicle manually; that way you won’t be in danger of forgetting and unlocking it electronically.

If you have a WiPro III safe.lock (art. no. 101050), have your WiPro III upgraded or use the safe.lock module (art. no. 101051) to control the central locking system, the conversion board (art. no. 101052) can be used for the vehicle key. It is registered like a Thitronik wireless remote control 868, e.g., on the safe.lock product.

You purchase this conversion board from your dealer, who will also convert your key. A manual is supplied for the conversion of the flip key, so the housing and key blade are reused.

Important note: To start the vehicle as usual with the flip key, you will also need a transponder for the immobiliser. Unfortunately, the one from the removed original board cannot be reused. A copy (so-called clone) of the immobiliser must be made. Your THITRONIK® safe.lock Premium partner will assume this task (link to Dealer finder). Go to the safe.lock Premium partner with your vehicle and ignition key on the scheduled date.  The transponder is not included in the scope of delivery of our products, but does not have to be organised in advance. The business with the copying device keeps the blanks. If you are interested in having a second remote control key, our safe.lock Premium partners can offer one to you cheaply and already with secure THITRONIK® technology.
