Got you covered up till Wednesday :)

Wow!! What a great video!! When you said something to the effect that the two tools seem to cover what comes in your shop! I am sold on the Autel!!!

Well, that was easy. All it took was the right equipment combined with a whole lot of learning and experience. When I was in school one of the jobs at the lumber yard was making keys, I got pretty good at it and I think they cost a quarter.

Tech tip: run the new keys in an out on the outside lock cylinder to smooth out the rough cuts on the blade. It prevents keys getting stuck on the ignition. Love your videos.

Good to know that the Autel can program/create keys! Never tried it with mine yet! By far my favorite go-to scan tool! Glad i decided on it over the others (especially cost wise.)

Very helpful video. I was trying to program keys to an 09 Civic the other day and found out the ECU is bad, so I have one on order. This video will help for the Civic I'm doing even though the process may be slightly different. I'll be using my Snap On Solus, but I also have an Autel scanner and a Silca key programmer, so one of them should do it. I appreciate you doing the video without knowing the outcome, and allowing us to see the learning process for this procedure. Keep up the good work.

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your experience thru these videos. I just enjoy hearing you talk and viewing what you do.

Awesome video Eric! Good to know what these do-dads are capable of.

Love the Autel info Eric! We just bought one, still learning functionality.

Been a fan of the channel for a while, but came across this video...Glad to see you crossing over into my area. Autel is one of the popular programmers in the locksmith world. My main programmer is Xtool Pro Pad 3, but does include a lot of the mechanic side also...but I stick to my lane (unless it's friends or family needing mechanical diagnosis).

You said, "I'm glad I own my Verus." I heard you. First time for everything! lol Thanks!

Old video sir haha

In this video Eric O. admits he's glad to own a SnapOn Verus. I thought I was hearing things so I hit rewind, it's true. :) I will be discussing this issue with my therapist.

11.5 Battery voltage?! You are a brave man! I have the Autel maxisys Elite at my shop as the main go to, Worth every penny, but it does need some supplementing.

Awesome Thank you for sharing this. This was fantastic to know that it can still do the Honda's. Thanks so much Eric

I was watching one of your old videos when i got the notification for this one. I am an sma junkie. Lol

Programmed many keys with my Autel, yes the Autel and the Snap on do complement each other😁

Snap On is great for the scope and guided tests - other than that, the bidirectional controls and any programming features are very limited. I'm selling my Modis Ultra and buying an Autel and Picoscope

Who needs boring training videos when you can watch EricO and laugh all at the same time! Not a jab at Eric at all. Great videos and some of the things you say out of the blue crack me up. Like your last video “Chevy and their stupid keys” in frustration or “what the thunder”.

Autel isn’t perfect but the 906 and 908 are great scan tools. Very nice video Mr. O.

The key to success . Thanks now I know how to program new keys 🔑 the Hondu way!

Autel FOR THE WIN ! I have the autel and I LOVE it . I got the maxi sys pro with the j tool and got a CRAZY DEAL on it . Please show everyone what else it will do. . Thank you Eric o

That was WAY AWESOME!!!! WAY TO GO ERIC O.!!!!! :D

Those handheld computers are amazing tools, a whole bunch of testgear in one place. Even a basic obd2 scanner is handy for the diy'er to get a rough engine fault :-) Cant beat good tools.

Cool!!! with a five (5!) week vacation, watching SMA videos and getting ready for the holidays, this couldn't get any better!!! Thanks again!!!

Doing the Fords at work, I used the IDS, and you were allowed up to 8 or 9 keys. I would keep one and program up to 3 more if the supervisor wanted to delete the old keys if there were others he didn't know about. It was also one way we had a key for our shop if the vehicle switched yards where it was parked at night. That way maintenance could be done at night with the shop key.

just ordered my MS908 Pro w/J2534 USA version last week when i got a email of a flash sale for $1849.00 shipping included, so won't have to just scream at just the Verus all the time.

Excellent job, thank you so much for your video.

It may be an older video but it's new to us. Thanks for the information. I just bought the 2000 series PICO scope so I'm watching Paul's "how to use" videos. My brain hurts.

Outstanding

Good bit of kit the Maxisys ....Great video btw 👍

Great Job Like always A+

Really cool video man thanks

Hey buddy my friend my pal, my brother,Its almost Christmas, throw that programmer in the box and send it over.This elf will thank you for it.

Wow , thanks, I just bought an Autel Maxysis Elite!

The Snapon looks like a great paperweight 👍

i have that 908BT... been using it for 3 or 4 years now.. $500 to upgrade any software (after the 1st year)! Still works great without the upgrades/updates. ;)

Great video again, keep them coming. I thought any model after 2011 you had to have locksmith programs. Again thanks for what you do.

I love my Maxisys Pro..I use it all the time

Hell yea brother.....I got 17.2 on my Virus but never even had to look to see if she could do it lol.

Super glad I clicked on this video. Super cool guy and very good detailed video. I'm definitely subscribing. Can you please try to program a new key without any other key and make a video? I saw a video showing it done but the video wasn't anywhere nearly as good as yours. The guy just continued following the instructions without an original key with this same scanner. Thank you for showing the total number of keys programmed at the end. That's weird how it automatically deleted the other keys previously programmed. Can you also try to make a video on deleting a lost key or lost keys? Thank you!

ILCO is an aftermarket replacement key blank and locksmith supply manufacturer. T5 is, presumably, the ILCO blank number for the valet style key (transponder blank 5). Crafty of them to make their blank encryption proprietary, so you HAVE to use their high priced programmer to program in their blanks.

I like that scan tool. I had to pay someone to program my Honda keys.

That was really interesting!

I bought a $20 Honda key from Amazon, had it cut for $10, then programmed it with a scan tool in the same way you showed. Works great. The lock/unlock/trunk release buttons didn't work, but they can be easily programmed without a scan tool. So $25 instead of the $200+ (CDN) that the ripoff that the dealer wanted.

What scan tool?

@schifoso

8 ай бұрын

D7 was the model number. Can't remember the make.

Nice, I thought you had to remove the "lost" keys first. But I was wrong, I assume registering the new keys deleted the lost keys (hence the max 5 keys).

Thanks Eric! Very helpful as I'm narrowing my search for a new scan tool. Would love the new Snap On Zeus at around $15k (with the diagnostics data plan). The odds of me affording that or Santa putting it under the tree are 50/50 if that tells you anything...lol Have a great week

Nice thanks for sharing 🙏

I THINK my Autel 906TS can do this too ... but don't quote me on that. Going off memory. I recall seeing the option to program keys on other vehicles I've had here. A great feature, for sure! This thing has already surprised me with it's capability. So far, it's all I've got, besides a 10 year old AutoXray AX7000 - no bi-directional control with that one, aside from an EVAP test. Doesn't tell you what it's testing, but from learning from all you guys on KZread, it's probably the purge solenoid - can hear it click on/off.

Thanks for at least partly taking a stand on scan tools. As you said, the higher end ones are a big investment and it would be good to know more about your opinions of how the big 4 compare as there not that many experienced guys who have real time with all 4 brands like you do? It's complicated with Autel suffering from legal action, the Verus being super expensive, while Launch and OTC are relative unknowns.

Video soo clear

Thank you, this helped me.

nice video, thanks for uploading, i have a solus ultra with 18.2 and it has the immobilizer feature now, also apparently it can also do the newer keys too. but im sure autel can do those keys now too. oh well. at least snap on has it finally.

ones again u help me out a jam , Thanks

Way to go Mr. O

Good info, Thanks

Good lesson

Oh ya. Very cool and Great Video!

Most excellent. Thanks.

One day I will take out a second mortgage and get a Verus and a MS908!

Skip the mortgage. Get an Autel.

hi Eric, I have an Australian 1998 Prelude that is my weekend car, I believe it has the T5 key (probably the same as your civic) and the factory immobilizer/alarm. You can buy T5 keys with chips on eBay but I believe that requires you to "clone" an existing key rather than adding a new key to the system, is that correct? Honda Australia wants nearly $100 for a key and the dealers near me can't even tell me if they can program keys for "such an old car". I have one original black key and the Red key, what's the best/cheapest way to get another key?

Great Video

I LOVE MY AUTEL AAA+++ alot of bang for the buck

i had a 1999 ford f150 sport with the triton 4.7 pretty much the same as long as you had the master key

Way way off topic. Just watched a few minutes of one of your Buds'. It's good to have friends like Bruce. Eric I watch your channel for entertainment. You always say some of the oddest and funniest things. In no way am I calling you out. Quite the opposite. You and your wife are decent, honest, hard working folks. Bottom line....keep it up Sir.

I know it's an old video but I hope my new launch x431 pro is as good and painless to use. Should have it next week.

Love that thing.

What Autel do you recommend for Honda key programming up to 2018 or 2019? I am only interested in key and remote programming functions.

Thanks Eric would like to see more videos with the Autel your Right each scanner has it's good points I wonder what one Keith uses the most ?

great video, great infor

Amazing

Haven't tried key programming yet. Did a couple of fobs for an 04 Pontiac grand prix though. I love my 908p!

Well hot diggidy dog, Autel you the real MVP !!

Exselecte diagnostic. Nice video

Amazing.

Fantastic!!!!

Hey Eric, very informative as usual. Are you aware of any DIY J2534 programmers for Honda that will do the same as your Autel but at a fraction of the cost since I only need it for Hondas? You mentioned DrewTech, are you referring to the MongoosePro for Honda? I know those work with Honda's HDS but would it (MongoosePro) allow you to make make more keys w/o having the LSID from NASTF? Thanks for your info.

good show,

I have used my ms908 elite to program keys for chevy, dodge, jeep so far. Only thing is with chrysler products you need the vehicle PIN to be able to program them and to get the PIN you have to show proof of ownership to the dealer

Good video Eric is there anything you can't get done at South Main Auto

Which scans tool do you like better, snap on or the autel? I’ve seen good reviews on the autel. I’ve seen you you both in your videos.

Have you had to program any of the new rams keys such as 2013 and up

hey Eric do you know if that scanner will also work for JDM vehicles here in my country about 90% of the cars are JDM 2nd hand cars

Eric, when you do the business taxes, do you take depreciation deductions on your more expensive tools you buy during the year such as the one you used in the video?

The Maxidas DS708 will program key fobs as well.

Cool. Thanks.

Have u used the other plugs that come in the case. ? Thanks..

Do you need to pay extra charge (token) for reprogramming/copy car keys ?
