2014 Smart ForTwo Key programming

Once again reviewing and testing the capabilities of the diagnostic box #tdb1000. For coverage info go to www.tdb1000.com #strongertogether

[@VWWRENCHIE]

And I always thought those Smart cars had one giant key that sticks in the back to wind them up!👍😎

[@rhkips]

Haha, oh man I was hollering when you didn't read out "next key." Easy to miss, but boy could that send you in a loop if you didn't catch it! It would probably be beneficial to use the instructions "1st key," "2nd key," and so fourth. Ordinals are a much clearer way of describing sequences than "next," especially when creating an interface that may be used by folks whose first language isn't English. Judging by the spelling of "Initialising," this is a proper world-market tool. :)

[@billyyoder8171]

Thank you Keith. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week.

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

Finally following up with some research about the tdb100 I asked about in February. many videos to go. thanks Keith

[@shawns442]

Key Programmer tool reviews are awesome! Keep'em coming !!!!

[@scotts4125]

Good vid Keith. I am an automotive locksmith. Just like scan tools, there isn’t one that does them all well. Without the original key also it’s a much more involved process. Not familiar with that programmer so not sure if it will work when you don’t have a working key. Those are the jobs we mainly do. The more expensive programmers charge a token (fee) every time you use it despite paying $5000 for the programmer. There are Chinese knockoffs that don’t require tokens but they have also failed to program non complicated cars but did work on more complicated ones. Keep up the good work.

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job again like always always

[@Auto-Tech]

Excellent tool, thanks for sharing Keith. 👍😉

[@jamesh6229]

Thanks for the video Keith, a Mercedes smart car, the luxury smart car of course.

[@hddm3]

Wow that is a nice tool. Seems to just work great and fast

[@Diagnosedan]

Was that new key from the dealership or from a Locksmith?

[@stevemazzarella9259]

Looks quick and easy!!! I want one!

[@JoesAutoElectric]

This video is killing me. Guy can't wait for you to finish before water logging that thing? LOLOL

[@frugalprepper]

You got to keep the Mercedes clean!

[@emissionsservicecentre8578]

Stevie P. I’m sold, I’ll be in touch in December for my unit :)

[@busbqbill449]

Great vid as always. I cant start laughing about the washing the car while your working.

[@8power0]

THIS IS IT , MORE PLEASE ! ! !

[@kennycooper4178]

Programming keys while checking for fishbowl water intrusion multitasking

[@MrBuddysAdventures]

Neat toy! I want to see a Cliff's notes video version of programming ecus, keys, PATS, etc. That and the electric cars diagnosis...but maybe they self diagnose and self heal which is why we don't see too many of those lol

[@prmayner]

At 2:46 Keith it says insert next key. Great tool thanks for sharing.

[@NewLevelAuto]

Yessir . And I missed it looking through the darn viewfinder on screen while recording like a dope

[@codysautodiagnosticsprogra8706]

That Tool is looking better and better thanks for the review Keith, keep the videos coming bud

[@andrewthompsonuk1]

Is that a successor to the. SYKES ACR4 or SPi from SP Diagnostics?

[@ScienceOfDiagnostics]

Two videos in one day, I love it. Diagnostic Box has some awesome tooling. Did you get the top level software package or just the base model?

[@NewLevelAuto]

Full package

[@frugalprepper]

I love that tool. I could make some money with that thing!

[@chriholt]

"Key OnOn" gets me everytime.

[@NewLevelAuto]

🤣👍

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Keith, does this thing have more keys than cylinders? :D

[@baxrok2.]

Sweet tool!

[@justinporter6701]

Hey, Keith. I just talked to you in Mikes VVT class. Just wondering how I would go about getting a ride along with you. I have family in Staten Island and plan to visit them next year and would kick myself if I didn't try to get a ride along with you whilst there. Thanks man!

[@kaptincrazy]

Hyundai sonata 2015 smart key.. PIN code puller?... Any experience? Cloning anything?

[@Leo00893]

What manufactures does it cover?

[@nickolashutton9353]

Any resource for key programming?

[@aliabdallah102]

Can/have you do(ne) a video on Hyundai key programming?

[@nicknicu1787]

I was going to say,it did say “ insert NEXT key “ not the same key. 😁 Any idea how it does on high end cars? Thanks. 👍

[@calimesacox]

A Mercedes smart car. Not high end enough for you? Lol

[@JOHNPHUFNAGEL]

So you don't need a LSID to program keys with this tool?

[@NewLevelAuto]

You need a VSP to purchase the tool 👍

[@raymundovasquez6381]

Maestro have u tried using Kmax850 looking into purchasing want to know any feed back from the best!

[@NewLevelAuto]

I have not tried it but know others who have and said it was junk 🤷‍♂️. Can't say that it is or isn't, just letting you know what I've heard

[@Micko350]

Yo Keith! I'm liking that Diagnostic Box so far(especially for CDJ), how do you reckon that thing would go over here?🤔

[@NewLevelAuto]

Made in the UK ? 🤷‍♂️ check out the website and look at coverage . Www.tdb1000.com

[@danielubeda9564]

Can you do the programming without any keys ?

[@boomer2095]

Same thing happened when I tried to get a second key made. I am not sure why everyone who you buy used car from has lost the owners manual and the 2nd key. But a local locksmith had the machine and charged me $185. After programming the new key the old one didn’t work and he had to program it also. At least the lost key no longer worked. Also, my check engine light stayed on until I drove the car a,couple miles to reset it.

[@weldingjunkie]

That looks more simple than my Autel im508 that’s for sure

[@billrimmer5596]

U r a flippin genius

[@robinsonsmotorcycleandauto3929]

Fantastic

[@volvo09]

Works with that weird contraption of a car, I'd say it's a pretty good tool! (It better not fail on a Ford Taurus or Honda civic now....)

[@frugalprepper]

I want to see it on one of the older Hondas like 02-04ish. Even the local locksmiths can't program them for me, and dealer here refuses to program any aftermarket keys.

[@smms5056]

👍👍

[@makaynchealhalibbealkhooo9673]

Lol u start to love ur new toy

[@danielubeda9564]

I got a question for you... If you have 1 key and you want to make a second key, isn't called cloning, not programming ? Anyway, my question is, if you have no key at all, that machine, can really program a key to the vehicle ?

[@JaysonElliot]

Other locksmiths have told me they're unable to program a Smart key, and it has to go to a Mercede$$$ dealer. I wish I could find one that knew how to do this!

[@calimesacox]

How much is the charge for you to do this job?

[@NewLevelAuto]

I had the key in stock , with programming on site $235

[@V10PDTDI]

I think the flex is broken just by the sound of the exhaust it’s pretty common on this car

[@NewLevelAuto]

I think he likes the sound 🤣👍

[@johnpappas1683]

Hey Keith I forgot to tell you i just got an autek key programmer it said no tokens but the tool says 500 tokens will see how works!

[@frugalprepper]

It's like Chuckie Cheese you got to got get some Tokens to put in the side of it. Oh what that SnapOn, nevermind.

[@pb3033]

Engine light...Water again?

[@johnpappas1683]

Hi Keith does that tool use tokens?

[@NewLevelAuto]

No tokens with a valid subscription

[@63256325N]

Was that a car or an electric shaver? 😁 Thanks for the video.

[@burtpilon1735]

👍🏻 great little tool and pretty damn fast too

[@burtpilon1735]

Oh and don’t spill no coffee in that ignition area haha

[@NewLevelAuto]

I never spill coffee sir .. that's blasphemy 😉

[@pauldavis5075]

Am I watching Dr. Who? For you to fit in that tiny car it would have to be larger on the inside than the outside. Years back I rode around Orlando with 6'6" >300# co-worker in his volkswagon bug...which was only possible since the seats were removed and we both sat on milk crates.

[@JoelAutomotiveInaction]

for most part that covers all makes ha??

[@AP9311]

Smart car, but it outsmarted you by not so smart on program on second key lol. Haha. I crack myself up lol

[@moavic5087]

Josh Benney haha damn it Keith read the screen next time 🤣

[@jimhaines8370]

The tool is worth more than the car

[@frugalprepper]

^^ This!

[@garystajduhar8463]

Didn't see keyless fob button programming

[@fuckjewtube69]

You're very smart and have top 0.01% diagnostic abilities and there's tons to learn from you. What I want to know is how do you manage the stress? You seem inhumanly busy and your job is literally harder than 95% of jobs in North America. You just go about it literally carefree and kill it. I want to know how you do that part.

[@NewLevelAuto]

You just have to remember thatnits just a machine . It has no feelings . It's not out to get you . You will win. That's my motto

[@NewLevelAuto]

And most importantly, thank you for the compliment

[@nicknicu1787]

I’ve just checked their website : no BMW,Mercedes or Porsche. ☹️

[@frugalprepper]

If no Porshce will it do VW?

[@nicknicu1787]

FrugalPrepper's Garage & Garden Apparently VW is on the list that it will do.

[@billrimmer5596]

On a 03 Altima have u ever had one that would not relearn idle? I found a TSB that said u have to disconnect maf for 10 seconds. I had already given up after trying diagun Verus and MaxiDas

[@JOHNPHUFNAGEL]

I have had some vehicles not respond to well to the manual idle relearn, just drove around a bit to relearn the idle on its own

[@NewLevelAuto]

Drop it in gear the very second you start learning the iav then wait 4 seconds and throw back in park

[@repairrightautoservice3629]

where can i get one

[@NewLevelAuto]

Www.thediagnosticbox.com has the list of authorized sellers . I spoke with Tom in Florida today . Answered on the second ring and was very knowledgeable about the tool and it's capabilities

[@wyattoneable]

Does that guy want a dollar for cleaning your windows? (ha ha) That tool is going to pay for itself in no time.

[@Apex180]

Looking like a right money earner :) - wonder if it covers Volvo's.....

[@AP9311]

First comment lol

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

One question......Who buys these deathtraps?

[@evilutionltd]

As a percentage, smart occupants have a lower death rate than Ford F150, Honda Civic and many other similar cars.

[@codysautodiagnosticsprogra8706]

That Tool is looking better and better thanks for the review Keith, keep the videos coming bud
