    pretty sure you could program them, it was a while ago i looked into these but i cant remember. I'm sure Detector knows something about these...

    afaik the credit is stored on the coffee machine and not the key, the key is just your id.

    The only thing we ever got out of these (was a few years ago now) is when the machine crashed and thought a load of cash had been put in. We loaded up a few keys with £99.99 each

    The ones we have at work are stored on the key. I know this because my dad gave me one from his work & it worked at my place. I also tried reading from the key & writing back to it but stuffed the key up. This was a datakey, I did receive one from Bert but it wasn't the same type & tbh I was grateful & didn't want to look like I was moaning or anything so I kept schtum. The chip is a 93c46 as far as I remember.

    There is a member on here who did a lot of work with these a (relatively) long time ago & I bought a pcb off him to make into an adapter to accept the pin out of the key & fit into an 8 pin programmer. I obviously know who he is but he said a long time ago that he didn't want anything to do with klix keys again & maybe it was because of the fraud side of it & he didn't want to get into trouble, or maybe he had already had a warning or something. I think it's right to respect his wishes so I'll keep his identity to myself.

    what kind of klix machine is it?

    there were a bunch of them at a depot I worked at recently.

    On my last day, 20 minutes before I was due to leave I thought I'd grab a drink... in my haste I stuck 40p in and hit the choice button, this time it was belgian chocolate, I heard the whiring noise that then leads to the cup dropping down and for some reason I twisted the change button around that point... out came my 40p and out came my drink!

    I figured this was just dumb luck, but I did it two more times and then it was time to go... typical huh! ... if only I'd found that little gem out 4 weeks previously!


    There's a definate process that can be heard, the whiring noise followed by the cup dropping, and then the water... as I said I tried it around the time the whiring noise started and it worked both times, I took a pic of the machine which is on my phone, I can upload it if you like? ...it's certainly worth a try if it'll save you 80p X how ever many coffees you have a day!

    They have a couple like that where I work & a lot more which are bigger machines. You can see the klix key socket next to the gold blend picture 2nd down on the right, like a square. Good tip & I know where there's a machine like that. I do make my own drinks now though

    sorry to dig up an old thread!
    i have got a klix key for a machine we have at work but the key has been missprogrammed (it only has a 5p credit on it!)

    is there any way of reprogramming this key myself?
