Honestly, it’s a hit or miss some of them are good, but then turns bad so you always need to change suppliers.

Nice and informative video, lots of tips. Thanks. So with a working key, then we do not never need G-box as I understand it. Or is G-box for more than AKL situations?

Thanks for your support. GBox is only for AKL. This method will be for most of them adding a key from around 2004 to 2014 depends on the model.

@@legacylocksmith7874 Tbanks for that verification. You just save us a big bunch of $€£. That day needed, that sorrow... Small town, fewer people, never had an AKL-situation (here they probably call car tossers). You also need to get into the car, else everythein else is worthless 🙂 Can not justify Lishis (you need a bunch, and also know how to use them on different locks). Just bought one to train on (but a Schlage is not like any car-lock) But I have a nice kit of AccessTools USA, but never used them live (just practised with them).
From your experience, how reliable are those blank keys in the long run? I know the moment you program it, it starts, unlocks, locks fine. But a few months later, any customer comeback for issues? I am sure they may not use NEC or Siemens chips. Thats why i ask.

Thanks for sharing, I have never done any European car so far but I would like to jump on them but on the beginning I would like to start just with OBD , so how I can figure out if the car can be done through OBD or needs EPROOM ? Thanks in advance
@legacylocksmith7874

In the Europeans, you need to have more experience to know which one is which I would highly recommend at least to start from what you see that can be done and gain some experience to do more in the future. As more as you do, you get better, but be very careful to do specifically the models that you see that can be done, because sometimes a slight different can put you in a big trouble. But definitely adding the key to a Mercedes in this way has almost no danger at all.

It is not a studio. Made in open air. Me, myself, think this as about some of the best videos. It is long enough to show all, and not with a lot of void and irellevant stuff spending 3 times the time to watch and get same info. And it is short enough to show it all and not cut corners. 7 minutes is real fast, with all you need IMHO. There is also a lot prep before made. But if you have the programmer, you know these parts.
