How are they different?\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Reddish-Brown KEY is the master programming key. In the Vespa world, this key is commonly referred to as the BROWN KEY or MASTER KEY. The Brown key burns a code into the ECU on fuel-injected models and into the CDI of carburated models. Once a code has been burned into an ECU or CDI it's burned in there forever. The ECU and CDI cannot be reprogrammed or re-burned. The Brown key is used to burn the code into the ECU or CDI and to program additional BLUE chipped keys. The Blue Key is the Slave Key. In the Vespa world, it's commonly referred to as the \u003cem\u003eBlue Key\u003c\/em\u003e. The Blue key is the key you should be using for everyday use. The Blue key is programmed via the Brown Master key. You can program as many as five blue keys. There is a programming operation that involves inserting the Brown key into the ignition which allows additional Blue keys to be programmed. Once all Blue keys have been inserted into the ignition and programmed the Brown key is inserted a final time and the program sequence is closed. Any Blue keys that were not included in this program sequence will be locked out.
