EU Car Key Programmers Recommendation

A customer asks: I have Xhorse Key Tool Max and Renolink, used on specific Renault cars. Now, I’m looking to buy another tool that works well for many European cars. I’m thinking about Autel IM508, Xtool, and OBDSTAR. Your thoughts or suggestions would help a lot.

Recommendation list:

1. Autel MaxiIM IM508+XP400 pro

Customer feedback: “I have Autel IM508 with XP400 Pro. It’s a good all-rounder, and it has surprised me quite a few times with its capabilities. You get a two-year subscription included in the price.”

Function

With Autel IM508 and XP400 Pro, you can do many things such as:

Read/write and learn keys to the vehicle

Program infrared keys for Mercedes vehicles

Program IC Chip keys on late model Hyundai KIA vehicles

Perform EEPROM-data functions needed for European vehicles

Perform advanced ECU coding and OE-evel vehicle coverage

Diagnose all modules of the majority of makes and models on the market

Perform bi-directional key fob programming and lMMO functions

2. Autel MaxiIM IM608 Pro II

Customer feedback 1:

Autel IM 608 is amazing. I programmed one key for a Benz IR Vito 2008 in 9 minutes. I also reprogrammed (erased all keys) a Passat TDI 2000 in 4 minutes.

Customer feedback 2:

Autel IM608 is the best. I have a few of them, including Lonsdor 518, but Autel is the best, plus you don’t need to pay for tokens.

Customer feedback 3:

IM608 is easy to use when you don’t know what type of immo is in the car you are working with.

Customer feedback 4:

I manage a repair shop and have used various tools in my 20-year mechanic career. Autel offers many excellent tools, and the IM608 key programmer is another superb addition! For key programming, IM608 has broader coverage than my previous MK908. I’ve already used it to solve adding keys, adding remote controls, all key lost problems on Toyota, Nissan and more. A fantastic product — an excellent car key programmer!

Customer feedback 5:

My job is only locksmithing for homes and cars, not mechanics. AUTEL IM608 works well with many luxury cars like Benz, BMW, VW, etc. It’s different from Xtool, OBDSTAR and other Chinese tools.

Autel IM608 EU cars coverage

Autel IM608 supports many EU car models such as Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat and more. You can also check the vehicle coverage page of Autel to search for specific models and years.

3. Xhorse VVDI MB and VVDI full

Customer feedback:

I have VVDI MB and VVDI Full, along with IM608 and 908P. VVDI is significantly superior, especially in MB programming, than 908P. IM608 is improving gradually, so I can’t let go of them yet. VVDI MB’s password function is even faster than AVDI’s, though it can’t handle W163 via OBD2 or EEPROM. VVDI Full covers the majority of Tango functions. However, no single tool can handle everything currently.

VVDI MB EU cars coverage

It supports most European cars, such as Renault, VAG, Ford, BMW, PSA, Fiat and more.

VVDI full EU cars coverage

It can work with VVDI MB and VVDI Super Chip to program keys for European cars. Some of the supported cars are Renault, VAG, Ford, Mercedes, BMW, PSA, Fiat, etc

Ultimately, the choice of key programmers depends on both your budget and specific requirements.

Current Digital Circus theory: Yes, Pomni worked for a company which figured out how to translate the human consciousness into video game code. My roommate speculates that some quirk of the job exposes all workers to this new tech, copying each person's consciousness and uploading it into the digital world (perhaps without said workers' knowledge or consent)...thus, a new version of that person is born with no memories of their prior life as a programmer/PR director/resident IT guy.

My first thought was, "Oh, so Caine's the CEO." As in, the boss was also exposed to the tech (whether on purpose or as a side effect) and is now a trapped amnesiac alongside everyone else. But Caine's described as an AI, and after tonight's episode...If the boss is trapped in this world with their employees, I'm crossing my fingers that they turn out to be Jax or Ragatha. Jax would make the most sense to me, since he seems like a silicon valley "move fast and break things" type—the sort of person who would throw money at the first unhinged indie tech startup to claim they've unlocked (digital) immortality.

If I'm right about this trapped-amnesiac-boss scenario, Ragatha probably isn't the boss—though I think it would be a more shocking reveal, considering her compassion. I'm curious if I'm wandering into a conversation that's been going on for a year already.

Brigadier: We're not, we're in a space simulator... in St. Albans. It's not the same as being in space.

Three: Not with that attitude it's not.

Hello "use Firefox" entities. If anyone would have fun expanding upon the suggestion, my phone came with like 20 google apps and I would prefer to have 0. I'm doubt that is 100% possible because there are very few default programs. Example: no default calender or photo app--just google calendar and google photo. But good lord there are too many of them

Is there a "use Firefox" suggestion for email/calendar/map/file viewer/anything?

Autel MK808BT vs. Xtool X100 Pad, Which to Choose?

I want to buy a key programmer that costs less than $1000. After researching, I found two good options: Autel MK808BT and Xtool X100 pad. Can someone please help me decide which one is better for my needs? I need it for both key programming and diagnostics.

Immobilizer key programming:

While the MK808 may have limitations in programming certain keys, such as for a Toyota Prius akl, and it does not support BMW and VAG models, it excels in regular key programming and flawlessly programs them. It is a suitable choice for individuals who are regular DIY mechanics or have a limited budget.

The X100 Pad3 is highly capable in immobilizer key programming, it can handle certain keys for a Toyota Prius akl, and it supports programming for BMW and VAG models. Additionally, it excels in flawlessly programming fobs, including wireless fobs found in modern cars. While it cannot program keys for Benz, it is compatible with Lexus. The X100 Pad3 offers a faster process for regular key programming and is recommended for those seeking to program a wide range of keys and vehicles. It is particularly suitable for professional use in a shop setting, catering to individuals who prefer a hassle-free experience.

Diagnosis & Special Functions:

Both devices provide common car diagnostics, including scanning the oil system, making them comprehensive all-system scanners.

They feature battery reset functions, including the ability to reset the throttle, which is particularly useful for German cars. The MK808 also supports programming the tire pressure sensor and wheel speed sensor on a 2013 Acura TL, while the Xtool X100 Pad3 can perform TPMS reset.

Both tools offer SAS (steering angle sensor) reset function. However, the X100 Pad3 encountered difficulties with an Acura, while the more affordable MK808 performed this task flawlessly.

Additionally, they both provide battery reset functions.

The MK808 offers a few more settings that the Xtool X100 Pad3 does not have. These additional settings are regularly added through updates, ensuring continuous improvement and expanded functionality.

Updates:

MaxiCOM MK808BT receives frequent updates, while the Xtool X100 Pad3’s updates are not as frequent as Autel’s. The MK808 offers an annual software update subscription for $105, which includes one year of free updates. In contrast, the X100 Pad3’s annual software update subscription costs $139 and includes two years of free updates.

Price:

There is a significant price difference between the MK808 and the X100 Pad3. The MK808 is priced at $469. The full version of the X100 Pad3 costs $939.

Recommendation:

MaxiCOM MK808BT stands out in system scanning and key programming, offering excellent performance in these areas. It is a reliable tool that can meet your needs. On the other hand, the Xtool X100 Pad3 is known for its high efficiency and speedy operation, thanks to its faster processor. It excels in key programming tasks and also comes with a set of adapters for different car models, which the MK808 does not have. Additionally, the X100 Pad3 offers an EEPROM function for reading EEPROM, a feature that the MK808 lacks. If regular updates are important to you, the MK808 is the better choice. If your primary focus is regular blade key programming, the MK808 is recommended. However, if you require wireless key (fob) programming, the X100 Pad3 is the suitable option.

Autel MaxiCOM MK808BT and Xtool X100 pad plus are two tools to consider. MK808 excels in key programming and system scanning, suitable for DIY mechanics. X100 Pad3 offers advanced key programming, faster operation, and wider vehicle compatibility, recommended for professionals. Both provide diagnostics and battery reset functions. MK808 has more settings and frequent updates, while X100 Pad3 includes adapters and EEPROM function. Consider your requirements when deciding.

TELL ME ABOUT MULBERRY BABE

PFTTTTTT okay okay i loveeddddddd the energy he created. i love that he just watched us all file in a nodded and acknowledged each of us. this is gonna sound very silly (and cringe if you use that word) but it was like being in wonderdate XD

i could also just listen to comedians talk about melbourne alllllll day because i’m unfortunately too proud of my city. at one point he made an english guy in the audience do an australian accent and i almost pissed myself (poor guy).

when he asked if we had an equivalent of the queen.

oh yeah! and mark watson came out of the room while we were all waiting and guy montgomery watched the show. sammy j was in the hallway so we were gonna say hi but we just missed him.

seeing the can opening/fizzing in real life was saurrrrrr crazy and i forgor about it until it happened. everyone yelped and went whoop!!

it wasn’t a full house which was perplexing to me. WHAT ARE YOU DOING MELBOURNE GET YOUR ASSES TO THE LOWER TOWN HALL FFS. he made a good joke out of it. he made a good joke out of a lot of things. he’s pretty funny isn’t he?

i thought it was funny how both key and mark mentioned alex horne in their show but not each other.

oh and the guy who was supposed to help him on the fridge tried to grab him by the waist to hoist him up LOL.

[switchcase]

how did you become so knowledgable?

*Shrug* I read, I listen, have a terrible habit of continually asking "why" questions, and possess a possibly inadvisable level of disrespect for authority. It's not a particularly unique mixture, and most if not all of what I say has been said before, probably better.

Any household equipped to receive the television service of the British Broadcasting Corporation in 1954 would almost certainly have done so on a “table-top” set not unlike the moderately priced and now iconic “TV-22,” which featured a circular 9-inch Mullard “television picture tube” capable of displaying the 405 lines its electron beam had to travel to draw the “high definition” images coming from London’s Alexandra Palace or the Birmingham transmitter in Sutton Coldfield. First manufactured in 1950 by Bush Radio, then under the umbrella of the Rank Corporation, the Bakelite-clad receiver came with connections for a dipole aerial and AC mains power, and no option at all to change the channel. What today would be considered a serious limitation was in fact a pragmatic decision as long as the country's airwaves remained limited to a single channel. (The set would have been ready for three additional channels which were proposed but never implemented.)

Growing audiences and an expanding schedule forced the new medium to create new content if it intended to fulfil its mission as a public broadcaster to “inform, educate, and entertain.” While the BBC's radio service had famously been on the air since 1922 and earned its merits during the war, television remained for a long time an experimental technology of questionable utility. Early programming therefore relied heavily on the spoken word and the conventions of live theatre, including the singular, and ephemeral, nature of each performance: very little was pre-recorded (on film), and once a programme was broadcast it ceased to exist. Much of the BBC's live programming and even material recorded on tape is now lost; what we do have from the era before and just after the introduction of magnetic tape in 1956 was routinely filmed off the television screen in a process known as kinescoping. Preservation of its output did not rank among the BBC's priorities; recording everything on film would have required vast resources dwarfing the convenience of "canned" content: repeat showings on the BBC often meant repeat performances – bringing the original cast and crew back to the studio was, after all, a well-rehearsed operation and more efficient than any existing technology. Similar traditional arrangements continued well beyond the arrival of effective technical solutions.

The lack of definition, in every sense, at first prevented the new medium from being recognized as such not only by those who worked in it but also the sceptical consumers into whose living rooms the images would be beamed. The privacy of the viewing experience would prove decisive: like its theatrical rival, television was visual, and it was live. With radio it shared the spontaneity of the live broadcast and a large audience that would not need to come together in a single room. Film could offer none of the above, certainly not in combination, but where television (and radio) opted for intimacy on the small screen, film went big and promoted the communal experience – a very basic, fundamental division which remained in place for more than half a century and is only now being challenged by the most recent innovations in streaming and subscription services.

In 1954 the BBC, as the sole operator of the new technology in the United Kingdom, looked to other pioneers abroad for suitable formats with which to fill their expanding schedules. In the United States, commercial television was in full swing by the early 1950s, with major broadcasters such as NBC and CBS competing for viewers and, more importantly, advertising partners – sponsors in the terminology of the scheme developed for radio that had businesses pay for the right to name an entire programme (today's wealth of "archival" recordings from the era is a direct result of the legal requirement to provide proof to the customers that their money was well-spent). Here, too, tried and tested radio content was being adapted for television and, in the process, began to take on hybrid features. One promising concept on the CBS network that appealed to the BBC decision makers was a former radio show turned televisual experiment: You Are There fused (fictitious) contemporary radio reportage with historical re-enactments – easily done on radio but more challenging – and more rewarding – as a live spectacle for audiences to see. Not quite ready, in technical terms, to rival the offerings of the film industry but arguably an alternative to a night out at the theatre, the "night in" promised to become an event in its own right.

You Are There set out to transport the viewer back in time and to bring them face to face with historical figures, who are moreover prepared to pause and be interviewed by modern-day (all-male, often real-life) TV news correspondents. The deliberate anachronism of the programme, examining a fictionalized version of history with the most modern tools available and presenting it to the viewer in the privacy of his own living room was the message and the medium rolled into one: the historical subject under scrutiny was by no means chosen at random or pre-determined by the American creators; licensees around the world dramatized historical events from their own national perspectives. Only seven episodes were produced for the BBC in 1954, none of which exist today. Press reviews and summaries confirm the use of exterior location sequences pre-recorded on film to supplement the live performances in the Alexandra Palace studio, but we can only speculate on the precise treatment of each subject.

The series opened, appropriately, with the Charge of the Light Brigade in the year of its centenary, followed by the trials (and tribulations) of Mary Queen of Scots, Charles I, Captain Dreyfus, and Julius Caesar. Joining this eminent circle were, somewhat less obviously, the instigators of a minor mutiny, as well as a major figure, arguably, of the Anglo-Irish political struggle whose historical – and literary - significance has only grown since 1954. The Fall of Charles Stuart Parnell has inspired generations of writers engaged in the fabrication of alternate histories. The enigma of his personality, and the complex set of circumstances surrounding the events of 1890 continue to be explored in imaginary what if variations. You Are There, by contrast, portrays a moment in time that must contain a myriad of possibilities. [Part 1 of 2]
