Autel MaxiIM IKEY IKEYAT6TPCE

Autel MaxiIM IKEY IKEYAT6TPCE — 6-Button Universal Key with EV Charge and Trunk

The IKEYAT6TPCE is the Autel MaxiIM IKEY built for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles that carry both an EV charge port button and a trunk release on the factory key fob. That six-button combination — Lock, Unlock, EV Charge, Remote Start, Trunk, and Panic — is the defining detail that separates the IKEYAT6TPCE from the rest of the IKEY lineup.

If you have already looked at the IKEYAT5PCE, the relationship is straightforward: the 5-button version covers Lock, Unlock, EV Charge, Remote Start, and Panic. It does not include a trunk release. The IKEYAT6TPCE adds that sixth button — Trunk — for the EV and PHEV platforms where the OEM fob controls both the charge port and the trunk independently. If your customer's original key has both functions, this is the correct variant. If they only need EV charge control without trunk, the IKEYAT5PCE is the right fit and there is no reason to step up.

Like every Autel IKEY, this is a standard pre-cut universal key that programs with the Autel KM100. Your shop handles the entire job in-house — no dealer appointment, no sourcing expensive OEM blanks, no waiting for a locksmith with the right equipment. The KM100 programs the IKEYAT6TPCE in a single session covering key learning, transponder, and all remote functions including the EV charge trigger.

Button Layout

• Lock — Standard door lock
• Unlock — Standard door unlock
• EV Charge — Activates/controls charge port (function varies by vehicle)
• Remote Start — Remote engine/motor start
• Trunk — Trunk or rear hatch release
• Panic — Audible alarm trigger

What Makes This Configuration Unique

EV and PHEV key fobs have been diverging from standard layouts for several years now, and the charge port button is the clearest example. On most ICE vehicles, a 6-button fob uses that extra real estate for a sliding door or hatch glass. On EV and PHEV platforms, that button opens or activates the charge port. The IKEYAT6TPCE is the IKEY variant that handles the full EV toolkit: charge port control, trunk release, remote start, and the standard lock/unlock/panic set.

The distinction between the IKEYAT5PCE and IKEYAT6TPCE comes down to one question: does the original fob have a dedicated trunk button? If yes, use the IKEYAT6TPCE. If no, use the IKEYAT5PCE. Ordering the wrong one results in either a missing button or a button your customer cannot use — both are avoidable with a quick look at the original key before ordering.

Verify the specific year, make, model, and trim in Autel's compatibility guide before ordering. EV and PHEV trims within the same model line often have different fob configurations than their ICE counterparts — confirming the original button count is especially important on these platforms.

Programming Requirements

This key programs with the Autel KM100 key programmer. The KM100 handles the complete programming sequence for IKEYs — key learning, transponder initialization, and remote function mapping including the EV charge button. No separate EV-specific tool is required. The KM100 is the single programmer needed for the entire IKEY product line.

What Is Not Included

A CR2032 battery is not included — have one on hand before delivering the programmed key. An emergency mechanical blade is also not included. If the vehicle application needs a blade for manual door entry, source the correct blade for that vehicle separately.

How It Fits in the IKEY Lineup

The 6-button IKEY tier is where the specialized vehicle configurations live. The IKEYAT6TPCE covers EV/PHEV vehicles with trunk release — the one step up from the IKEYAT5PCE's EV-without-trunk layout. The other 6-button variants handle different specialty functions: dual sliding doors (IKEYAT6PRS), hatch plus hatch glass (IKEYAT6PRHG), and air suspension plus trunk (IKEYAT6TPRA). Knowing which variant to stock depends on the mix of vehicles your shop sees regularly. EV and PHEV volume is growing year over year, so having both the IKEYAT5PCE and IKEYAT6TPCE on the shelf is a reasonable approach for any shop doing volume key work.
