Description
Stellantis 6A Key Programming: OEM Strategy & Abrites Alternatives
Time: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Date: Saturday, May 2nd
Credits: 8 CEUs
Instructor: Ikaika Pladera
Stellantis (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat) 6A security systems have introduced new programming requirements, authorization hurdles, and tool dependencies that frequently derail otherwise capable technicians. Misunderstanding the platform often results in failed programming attempts, unnecessary module issues, and lost revenue opportunities.
This focused presentation class is designed to give automotive locksmiths and technicians a clear, practical understanding of how 6A systems operate and how to approach them using the OEM WiTECH 2 ecosystem, while also examining where Abrites may fit as an alternative solution.
Rather than tool hype or shortcut claims, the course emphasizes correct workflow, security access realities, system identification, and risk awareness — the factors that actually determine success on modern Stellantis vehicles.
