Excellent break down as I'm new into the locksmith industry.

[@GearsAndTech]

Hope it helps

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.

[@GearsAndTech]

Great feedback, yes out of a lot of key programmers out there this one is really good

[@TheCardiacKid80]

What is the main differences between the KM 100 and the IM608? I already own an Autel Maxisys Ultra. Is the IM608 needed if I already have the Ultra? Thank You

[@junmingz5826]

Is it capable of programming 2021 mini cooper s key? I checked in their website but didnt find the information for the newer model year.

[@GearsAndTech]

I don't think it can

[@jaxx7050]

Do you have to register it to a lock smith company or is a regular LLC ok ?

[@GearsAndTech]

I just registered it to myself. No license

[@user-hm6ec1bp5m]

Hi What program tool does the 2023-2024 GM Ford Chrysler Vehicles?

[@GearsAndTech]

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

[@JoeRiemma]

Is this unit capable of programming 2020+ Ford smart key vehicles?

[@GearsAndTech]

Yes

[@stevem1081]

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.

[@GearsAndTech]

What you got is great as well. It's a little more finicky to use but gets the same job done

[@AustinStaggs-kz8wq]

I made a new KZbin with my business email and was looking into key programmers and you have such a great video you became the first channel i subscribed to. So thank you

[@GearsAndTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DaytonCarCare]

What about older early 2000 cars like Audi/VW that you still use the cut key in the ignition and not push button start? Will this tool work to program immobilizer/transponder chip?

[@GearsAndTech]

Yes it works on a lot of them

[@ponyslation123]

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!

[@GearsAndTech]

Some very specific people in very specific ways would use them. But very few people will actually use it. I promise

[@TheCardiacKid80]

Will this do older ford and gm keys? Like 2000 - 2010.

[@GearsAndTech]

Yes

[@joeandgod1]

Is there a good source you can recommend to learn more about key programming?

[@GearsAndTech]

Not really. The best place is youtube. But most of the learning will be hands on experience.

[@RawTalentSkills]

I need to by one but a bit confused between, xhorse and KM100x

[@GearsAndTech]

Km100 seems to be more popular. Finding support after seems harder with xhorse.

[@brainwashed7244]

2021 kia k5 will it program using the universal key?

[@GearsAndTech]

It should. Universal keys are prettu awesome

[@GM-gj8hs]

So what the difference from this u it and the IM508

[@GearsAndTech]

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

[@HoustonMovement]

Is it true that there will be an update for this device basically making it unusable unless you’re a lock smith ?

[@GearsAndTech]

Not that I've heard. And I doubt they would impliment such a feature. They have no motivation to

[@HoustonMovement]

@@GearsAndTech I really hope they don’t as well but I have been doing some research and there is several websites and Reddit pages talking about how there will be an update in the coming days in wich users will have to have a NASTF VSP ID to be able to even use the scan tool to perform stuff like add keys or all keys lost wich is the feature that I need

[@HoustonMovement]

@@GearsAndTech i really hope to get you’re feedback on this as I really want to purchase the KM100 but after reading all these articles about people receiving emails saying they should apply for a NASTF VSP ID to no have any interruptions when the update does come out

[@24-7Roadside.Assistance]

Company won't abandon it's customers just like that. Would you ?

[@24-7Roadside.Assistance]

I hear allot of other locksmiths using scare tactics so you cant and don't produce keys !! Gatekeepers

[@yoboysean520]

Is this unit capable of programming 2020+ Mercedes Ben keys ?

[@GearsAndTech]

Yes. But not all

[@yoboysean520]

@@GearsAndTech c class ?

[@Useless-information]

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

[@GearsAndTech]

Ive noticed the same problem. It needs a specific cable with specific charger block to charge. Kind of a pain!

[@on-site4094]

Does it cover 2022 Lexus RX

[@GearsAndTech]

It covers most Toyota and Lexus including all keys lost

[@SS-U23]

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!

[@GearsAndTech]

No problem. I can't speak to the internet connection thing. I've always had intertnet when I programmed keys so far

[@fuzzs8970]

Where did you read 1 year free update? It's unlimited in time

[@SS-U23]

Which xtool?

I forget what it was called.

Hello good job it's good ❤❤❤❤

[@GearsAndTech]

Hey, thanks!

[@bartsmith7428]

the KM100 is very picky on the generic keys. They really do not like it you are using them and keep referring to their own keys who are triple in price.

[@GearsAndTech]

I haven't seen that.

Typical. Always late to the game What would be the most cutting edge, cost effective way to get in the game now?
