What is the way to reprogram the key of the Smart Fortwo?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Key

Reprogramming the key of a car often occurs as a result of the loss of the transponder code contained in the key itself, easily noticeable because the engine cannot be started as the key is not recognized by the ECU. If there is visible damage, a new blank key must be programmed, otherwise the operation will be carried out on the key already in our possession. An electronic code reader must be connected to the aforementioned vehicle ECU through the OBD port, then the dedicated software is started, the key is inserted into the car's ignition and the aforementioned code is loaded.
