There comes an unbiased review of some popular key programming tools by a real UK locksmith who has 10-year working experience.

Lonsdor K518– 

When this device came out a few years ago it was popular in Asia and USA. However, in recent times there has been more clarity and frequent updates. It’s a good all rounder and excellent value for money. Particularly strong in Toyota, Volvo, Fiat and Chrysler and will handle Ford, PSA, VAG and Renault up until 2015 and has many other brands it will cover. Using the emulators, you can do many Toyota all keys lost via OBD.

OBDstar X300 DP Plus – 

Probably the best bang for buck programmer on the market today. A great all-round tool which is known to be strong on Renault, Ford, PSA and Mazda. For a tool of this price to be able to do 2020 Ford Focus and Transit, 2017 Renault lost keys and read a pin from practically any PSA you plug in is unbelievable. Updates are frequent and very much focused on the EU market.

Xtool X100 PAD2 & PAD Elite (PAD3) –

The model range is very confusing as there are many different versions of the same device. The updates are coming thick and fast, 2 years’ worth included from purchase. Really strong on Asian brands, in particular Hyundai, Kia, Honda and Toyota. The recent Ford and Renault updates have been impressive and I expect many more updates over the next few months. The Pad Elite (PAD3) is compatible with the KC501 and can program Mercedes keys very fast, so for the money it’s a good tool. Not quite as refined as some other devices but once you find your way around it’s a solid machine.

Autel IM608 Pro (IM608) –

I have mixed feelings on this device, in some respects I think it’s excellent as it has such a broad coverage and the user interface is great. It has without doubt some of the most powerful diagnostic capabilities available from an all round “scanner” (whether you would use even 20% as a locksmith is debatable). However, if you don’t need high end diagnostic functions, I think it’s a lot of money for a key programmer. As with most devices, there is a heavy reliance on server calculations and this is where Autel suffers. There are so many occasions where the servers are so overloaded that programming cannot be carried out, or takes extremely long.

BossComm KMAX-850 –

This is a new device in the UK that many haven’t seen. Some of you may remember a diagnostic tool many years ago by BossComm, it was a good device in its day and this is from the same developer. For the surprisingly low cost of this tool it is very reliable and has great coverage. I used it on a Ford Focus 2019 spare key as a test and was surprised how well it worked. It is based on the Linux platform and has less reliance on the internet so it’s a good tool as a backup and comes with a pre-coding device. It’ll do VAG, Ford, Fiat, Honda and many more brands quite easily.

Zed-FULL – 

Every practising auto locksmith in the country should have heard of the Zed-FULL. For some people it is still the first tool they would plug in, for others it is a last resort. Without doubt it is a powerful device with a huge coverage, very easy to use and a plethora of functions. It is a token-based device and can work out very expensive, in today’s market I think token machines are only worth having if they do something other machines do not. A few years ago, that may have been the case with the Zed-FULL, but certainly not now. The other downside is that on some vehicles you must use an IEA key/remote so your hands are tied.

Smart Pro –

As most users found out the hard way, this device was released prematurely and left a lot of upset customers who had traded in a working device for a device still under development. I think that has changed now, it is much more reliable and has one of the best user interfaces of any of the devices mentioned. It is very good on Ford and can do AKL on Renault Trafic 2015- without bricking the BCM. It has a broad coverage and is easy to use, however it is token based so an expensive tool to use constantly. A good tool for a beginner, but still quite expensive for what it is actually capable of.

This article is about to bring you 3 ways to solve the problem of insufficient storage space for Autel Diagnostic Scanners.

Generally, there are 3 methods as below:

1.Use a micro SD to improve storage

2.Uninstall unneeded vehicle apps

3.Factory reset

Method 1. SD card

Users do need a SD card to expand storage space. Besides, it’s necessary to backup apps you need by SD card.
 

What size should your SD card be?

Generally, for tools like MK808/MX808, their max storage capacity is 32gigs, so you may need a 32-gig SD card. For higher-end tools like MK908P, some would go up to 128gigs, even Ultra up to 256gigs.

When your tablet didn’t have enough memory space, it’ll give you some tips such as how big and what format the SD card you should buy.

Besides, storage space of each vehicle app is: app size*4+550MB. You can consider by this formula.

Method 2.Uninstall apps

Note: If you tablet is out of update subsciption, Do Not uninstall any app before you get a backup.

How to delete apps you don’t need?

1)Go to

ES File Explorer>>Local>>sdcard>>Scan>>Vehicle

Select vehicle area (Europe/USA/Asia...).

Hold on setup package to check it and click on “Delete”.

2)Delete vehicle app in download file if there is.

Path: ES File Explorer>>Local>>sdcard>>Scan>>Download

3)Delete vehicle app in Data Manager.

Go to

Data Manager>>Apps Uninstall

In Diagnosis&Service, select app to delete.

Method 3.Factory Reset

Note: If you tablet is out of software subsciption, Do Not perform factory reset before you get a backup.

How to do factory reset?

Go to

System Settings>>Reset>>Factory data reset

Check “Erase SD card”

Click on “Reset tablet”.

Alright, these are 3 ways to fix Autel tablets’ insufficient storage space in general.

Hope this could help.

Here comes the solution to the storage full problem when updating OBDSTAR DP (DiagProgam) software.

Error “DiagProgram could not be installed. Clear space and try again.”

Reason:
When the device software is running, a large amount of cache is generated when communicating with the car or module. After long-term accumulation, the C drive has insufficient memory and cannot be installed.

Solution:
1. Provide the serial number of the corresponding OBDSTAR device. We will send you the appropriate upgraded firmware and operating instructions based on the machine model. The problem of insufficient memory on the C drive can be solved by flashing the firmware.

2. After flashing the firmware, the device will be reset to its factory state. You need to reconnect to WiFi and log in to your account in the DP software. Then re-download all programs.

3. After flashing the firmware, all files backed up by the device will be cleared. Please back up the important files to a USB flash drive or computer before flashing.

What other benefits can flashing firmware bring to you?
1. First, after flashing, we will reallocate the hard disk space. The problem of insufficient space when installing DP will no longer appear.
2. The new firmware program includes OTA function, which can support one-click system upgrade. If the device is subsequently upgraded with more auxiliary functions or system optimization, customers do not need to flash the firmware to upgrade, and can directly download it with one click on the device intranet.
Please send email to service@obdstar.com to provide your serial number and they will send you the flashing file.
