KeySolved Update
There’s been a LOT going on behind the scenes at KeySolved recently…
And honestly, this is exactly why being in this group matters, because most of what we build next is coming directly from what locksmiths are asking for.
In the last couple of weeks alone, we’ve added or completed 67 vehicle entries.
Not random stuff either.
These are vehicles people have actually requested because they’re showing up on real jobs.
A big chunk of the latest update is vans, commercials and everyday driveway vehicles, including:
Ford Transit Custom V362 + the new V710
E-Transit Custom
Fiat Ducato, including the 2021-on ID4A setup
Citroën Relay
Peugeot Expert
Vauxhall Combo
LDV T60
Toyota Prius Gen 2 + Gen 3
Toyota RAV4 XA30
Nissan Navara D40
Nissan Juke F15
Kia Sorento
VW Touareg Mk2
BMW 5 Series F10/F11
Mercedes C-Class W205
Mercedes E-Class W212
Mercedes CLK W209
Plus, the Citroën catalogue is now basically sorted.
C3, C4, ë-C4, Berlingo, C4 Picasso/SpaceTourer, C3 Aircross, C5 Aircross, DS3, Dispatch/Jumpy, Saxo, Xsara… all either added or completed.
So if you’re doing French cars, vans, fleet work or the kind of normal vehicles that turn up on driveways every day, there’s a lot more inside now.
But the bigger update is what’s been added to the actual vehicle pages.
They’re getting much deeper.
You’ll now see more of the important info directly on the page, including:
- Immobiliser system and codes like NATS, PATS, FBS3 etc.
- Production notes and little gotchas that can catch you out
- Parts to order
- Add-key and all-keys-lost difficulty ratings
- More job-specific info so you’re not guessing on the doorstep
We’ve also added the correct Original Lishi 2-in-1 pick/decoder to each vehicle page where applicable, with a direct link to Classic Lishi.
So if there’s a keyway you keep coming across and you don’t have the right Lishi for it yet, you can see it while you’re speccing the job.
Another new one…
If a vehicle is missing an OBD port diagram, you can now generate the illustration yourself.
Tap “Generate illustration” and it creates it on the spot in around 20 seconds.
No waiting for us to manually add it.
And probably one of my favourite recent features…
One of the members asked if we could make it possible to pull up a vehicle without typing the reg in manually.
So we built it.
There’s now a photo reg scanner.
Tap the camera icon, point your phone at the number plate, and it reads the plate and runs the lookup for you.
No typing.
No squinting.
No messing about in the rain with cold hands.
It’s live now for members.
UK only for the moment, but if enough people want it for other markets, we’ll look at rolling that out too.
This is the bit I want to keep stressing:
You ask.
We look at it.
If enough locksmiths want it, we build it.
That’s how the catalogue is growing, that’s how the features are improving, and that’s how the roadmap is being shaped.
So if you’re already using KeySolved, make sure you keep sending in vehicle requests and feature ideas.
And if you’re not inside yet, this is the kind of stuff you’re missing.
It’s not just a static database.
It’s being updated, expanded and shaped around the jobs locksmiths are actually doing.
