Is the Autel KM100 Worth Your Investment? THE BMW 868 PROBLEM - REVIEW

[@StrongTowerLockandKey]

Thank you for all the information! I did some research after watching the first time, and i did discover that the 868/915mhz keys CAN be generated with the KM100, but you must use the Ford Style High Frequency remote. Hopefully this helps anyone else with this concern!

[@pouncerminned863]

great video and well spoken and articulated. I have a IM508 and XP400pro to do BMW keys and eeprom on the bench

[@8power0]

WHAT IS THE OPERATING SYSTEM ON THE AUTEL KM100 AND THANKS FOR YOUR TIME GREAT CHANNEL !!!!!!!!!!

[@BestCarMods]

Android 9

[@8power0]

THANKS FOR THE REPLY...I REALLY LIKE THIS TOOL SO FAR I HAVE REPLACED A HYUNDAI ACCENT PCM AND PROGRAMMED THE KEY ALSO PROGRAM NISSAN SERENA KEYS . IT'S SMALL BUT VERY POWERFUL !!!@@BestCarMods

Chill bro

[@papaidolatrine2499]

Very helpful video. Can this device copy an existing key and put that onto a new one?

[@BestCarMods]

for some key types yes. but is not a simple process.

[@BudgetClan]

Do u know if the Autel km100 program keys for bmw 2010 and up? Can u please do a video explaining more about programming bmw? The details please!

[@BestCarMods]

the km100 can't do 2010+ bmws. I am looking at testing some xtool scanners that I have that could do the bmw.

[@BudgetClan]

@@BestCarModswhat about vw 2010+? And I also have the Xtool d7, is that capable?

[@BestCarMods]

@@BudgetClan I have seen the option starting from the D7S. will test and later let you know. regarding VW, i don't know.

[@BudgetClan]

@@BestCarMods thank u

[@BudgetClan]

One more question… do you know while testing to add keys or all keys lost on a vehicle with our tools, Is there a chance to brick it?

[@TecHService]

Well explain video. Thank you. I have hxorse key tool max,autel km100,but the big brother im508 is needed too.

[@BestCarMods]

For some reason I am tempted to think that the best tools from Autel are the IM508 and IM608 ... those are the ones that set Autel apart. Expensive but they do the job.

[@atikovi1]

I'm not sure owners of premium cars, or even nice late model Toyota or Honda would want a universal key to replace the factory key. Will this program oem keys? And I see a $250 update fee which is more than half the cost of the tool. If you don't update after one year, will the tool still work?

[@BestCarMods]

The KM100 did not have any update fee at the time of me buying it. Yes it can be used on some vehicles to program/diagnose OEM keys.

[@Redskinno1]

Very nice video… can this machine program 2010 Subaru Forster keys … all keys are lost

[@BestCarMods]

based on the age of the vehicle I would expect so

[@IADHDD]

have the Autel KM100, but when I go into Hot Functions, Lost All Keys or Add A Key it can't communicate with the ECU. I am connected to the Internet, it is connected using the usb-c cable. But it won't communicate with the ecu. Any ideas? A local locksmith (i just don't trust him) told me the KM100 is a joke and the newer gm trucks can only programmed by a special dealer software. I don't believe him

[@BestCarMods]

test the km100 on another vehicle first. after that send an email to autel and ask if there is compatibility with your vehicle or if the km100 can do the job. I have seen that for the more complex jobs autel wants you to have the AUTEL IM508 or IM608. And never give up :)

[@Q-uniqueN]

Which would you recommend between the Autel KM100 and the Xhorse Max? As a beginner locksmith ofcourse.

[@BestCarMods]

I don't work as a locksmith, so I don't have extensive experience with it. What I have seen at some of my friends is the Xhorse Dolphin XP005L as the essential tool for cutting the keys and the Xhorse Max or Autel IM508 / I608.

[@fuzzs8970]

Hi. Thank you for your video. Doesn't work for some Malaysian or Indian cars straight from the box. You need to purchase separately

[@BestCarMods]

Thank you for the insight. I am using it more on European & Japanese car.

[@MoBro-mf5tg]

@@BestCarModscan you do audi 2020 q8 with it or xtool is better ? And what about bmw x5 2021 thank you waiting for answer before buying either km100 or xtool

[@BestCarMods]

KM100 can't do any BMW from 2010 onwards. You need IM508 . However KM100 can generate a key that you can code with other more advances tools from Xtool H6Pro or their dedicate Key programming tools. I am not familiar with the Audi Q8s . @@MoBro-mf5tg

[@victorleal8443]

So it doesn't work for BMW keys?

[@BestCarMods]

it work for generating BMW keys that are not the 868 frequency, and also it is not able to code the key to cas4 or cas4+ fembdc systems

[@81Todd]

I'm next to positive that it does but does this scanner also work as a regular OBD2 scanner for reading and resetting codes along with general maintenance things such as resetting service lights and putting the electronic parking brake into service mode and maybe even reading TPMS

[@BestCarMods]

I would say that it does not allow for that. autel kept diagnostics separate from key programming. but It has been a while since I used it, and I am talking from memory.

[@dgoulian]

Excellent video. Thanks.

[@fly7881]

Will it program a key for a 2010 dodge ram 1500?

[@BestCarMods]

i don't know, but you can order it, try it on the car, if it does not work you return it. long live amazon :)

How the xtool kc501 compares to km100

[@BestCarMods]

don't know the answer for that. Did not have access to any Xtool with the KC501 programmer.

[@carsdiagnosticlab]

Are you sure it's cannot work with cas 2, or cas3 868 mhz on the site covered not wrote that thing!!!?

[@BestCarMods]

My problem with it, is that the Autel KM100 can't make 868 keys for bmw. It can make 868 keys for FORD or some other strange brand. Also The universal keys autel have just don't cover that option because the majority of bmw are other Hz. Now the programming capability of the unit is not related to the Hz. that is another thing all together. Did not have any old BMW to test compatibility, but I expect it to be able to do it.

[@carsdiagnosticlab]

​@@BestCarMods hi it's tested and work on bmw cas2, and cas3 frequency 868 all work !!!

[@yoboysean520]

Can you unlock keys that have been programmed with xtool d7s

[@BestCarMods]

unlocking keys is not dependent on the programming tool. It can unlock any original key that it has on the database. don't know about proprietary keys from Xhorse

Hi, I was about to buy it to program e90 keys for my car but you mention that it wont program 868mhz bmw. What other tool can you recommend us for this frequency please ? (Cheapest if possible)

[@BestCarMods]

for only 1 key you are better of getting someone else to code it and cut it. in the UK a key + cut + code is less than GBP150. You don't have a tool to do it at that pricepoint. Autel IM508 will do it. Xtool has some units that can do it.

[@ProjectBMW]

I just did my e90 key today with this tool, e90 normally use 315mhz. The tool worked great.

[@BestCarMods]

good to know. thank you for the update @@ProjectBMW

It will depend on the generation of A3, personally I have not used it on any audi, however I have seen it in the menu.

what do you think is the most likely answer ?

@@BestCarMods so universal key once is locked then cannot be unlocked like other original key used for other model

@@johnpham9038 the Autel universal key can be unlocked. you can do that from the km100 without having to open up the key and connect wires. check the menu. this is the big advantage with these keys. you can use them and reused without to much work.
