can this clone ecu or program mcu?

Nice shirt! Haha thanks man! Also, I’m gonna check that tool out! Looks like it might come in handy at times!

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

I agree Pat!

Appreciate the shirt PJ! I’ll keep you posted how the tool performs on keys.

I’ve been using the im508 with the xp400 pro and it’s been great. Thinking about getting the andromeda research eeprom programmer as their programmer can work with the eeprom in circuit where others can’t a lot of the time. Plus, they have built in templates for airbag crash data and such. It’s a great little kit.

[@codysautodiagnosticsprogra8706]

I’ve got the AR32, it’s a great tool and my first grab for eeprom.

[@Jpilgrim30]

@@codysautodiagnosticsprogra8706 nice to know. I’ll be ordering mine in the next few days. How is the coverage as far as the airbag crash data templates go?

[@codysautodiagnosticsprogra8706]

@@Jpilgrim30 it’s decent. If ar32 doesn’t have it then I use the bin file and use Tacosoft to clear the data.

So I bought the x100 max and I'm having one heck of a time getting it to work with any Audi. I've tried it with a 2007 Audi B7 RB4 cluster over OBD in the car with 0 success I could not read the pin I could not read the e-promp I could not adapt the mileage. I have also tried on a 2006 a4 RB8 cluster 0 success there, I've also tried a 2001 Audi A4 without being able to read the eeprom over OBD with no success as well as a 2003 Audi a6 with 0 success I'm kinda wondering if anything more works. When I tried to do a full diagnostic to my car seems as if the unit timed out and would t continue to scan.

[@R3YNZ]

Did you ever get it to work? & how has It been since you owned the x100 max? Honestly I'm new to Eeprom and key programming. I took some classes at ASTE so I interested in the x100 to start getting experience...but of course I want it to be reliable.

[@joshrios459]

@R3YNZ wasn't happy with it and returned it. I tried on 3 different Audis and quickly decided the it wasn't for me

Nice review Cody

Thanks bro

Good video. I have D9 xtool. I just bought KC501. How KC501 works with D9. Any help will be appreciated.

[@darionherbert8449]

Can the full functionality of the KC501 be utilized on the xtool D8?

[@codysautodiagnosticsprogra8706]

I don’t believe so

[@SilvexPhoto]

According to Xtool. The D8 series works with KC100 and KC501. The D7 series does not.

[@okparasamson7984]

Nice video! Pls between xtool pad3 and autel mp808 which one is better? Thanks in addy

[@codysautodiagnosticsprogra8706]

The autel mo808 and xtool/pad3 are completely different tools. The xtool and oad3 are focused on immobilizer functions, while the mp808 is just a code reader with some data pids and no bi directional control

[@calholli]

So should we get the Pad 3 or the xtool D8? They seem to be very similar.

[@codysautodiagnosticsprogra8706]

That all depends on what you are hoping to accomplish with the addition of the tool.

[@jonyovanno4145]

How does this match up to the AutoPropad???

[@codysautodiagnosticsprogra8706]

It’s basically the same tool honestly
