The KM100 actually has a small reminder alarm when you have the VCI plugged in. It will continuously beep at you once you exit out to the main menu which is a nice feature. The VCI firmware was 1.20, and the most recent version as of today is version 1.24. This is a very good, convenient, IMMO/Key programmer. I just added a second key to our 06 Acura TL it was easy, just ordered the blade type flip open key, had the key blade cut (not IMMO programmed) at my local locksmith. Then ran the Add key steps. It was simple. There's also instructions in the KM100 to add the remote to allow all the buttons to function (lock/unlock/trunk/panic). These are separate steps from programming the Add key for the IMMO, and you don't need to do them all at once.

NGL As soon as you said "I promise you, you are not going to use this. You will never use this" I knew I had to stop you in your certainty and split it in two. If I wanted a Bentley key for my Volkswagen, I would indeed be soldering those 4 pesky wires and charging to do so!

If you can program keys with it, and it's working fine. Then you're good to go
I just bought a 2021 ford and needed 2 things, 2 extra keys and a ODB2 reader. For the price dealers and locksmiths were charging for 2 keys, I was able to buy an ODB2 unit that also programs keys, seeing how I have never messed with any programmers, Just curious about how the one you are using would compare to what I bought, and that is The 2024 XTOOL IP819. So far I have programmed 2 flip out keys for the 2021 Transit and 2 keys for a 2013 F150. And it can wipe out the extra sets of remotes that the car lot said they did not have, which was 3 more, as the reader said it had 4 programmed in the system and they said they only had 1? Plus, I can also read, clear codes and adjust many items of the vehicle.

Probbaly just need to wait a year. Then this will get an update to support the newest vehicles.In some cases it already works even though its not listed
From what I read on Amazon, KM100 is the tool that needs internet connection when doing key programming. KM100X, on the other hand, does not need internet connection. I'm still confused, though. By the way, according to the description for KM100 on Autel website, there is 1 year free software update. Thank you for the information about the Autel KM100!

Now I’m wondering if mine is not working right I’ve had it for about two weeks. I love it but when I plug it into the OBD2 dongle, I thought it was strange that it does not charge the device as well. I have to charge it with the supplied cable plugged into a USB or the Outlet. Maybe it was my 2013 F150 that would not allow it to charge the KM 100 I’ll have to check it on another vehicle

So what the difference from this u it and the IM508
@GearsAndTech
2 ай бұрын
IM508 is a diagnostic tool that also does key programming. If your only purpose is program keys then the KM100 is what you want. If you want to run diagnostics on cars and SOMETIMES program keys then the IM508 is for you. I have a larger diagnostic tool that also does key programming. its more clunky, and take a lot more time to get into the key programming menus
Good luck when the update comes out for nastf
