17 Septembre 2025 , Rédigé par JTAC

Problem:

Tried to add a spare to an Audi A4 2018 using Xhorse VVDI MLB Tool and Keydiy MLB key.

Program US Toyota Keys by Lonsdor, Xhorse, SmartPro or AutoProPAD?

14 Septembre 2025 , Rédigé par JTAC

 Since AUTEL has removed US Toyota/Lexus all keys lost programming function, which of the following devices would be a better alternative?

Which one will you choose for American Toyota Lexus all keys lost?

 

Xhorse Lonsdor AutoProPAD or Smartpro for US Toyota Lexus

 

Here is the clue based on users’ reviews.

 

Lonsdor:

Lonsdor is the best for Toyota.  K518 pro is the ballocks for Toyota/Lexus smart keys.

Especially with the support of LT20/LT30 smart keys and data reading without the needing of any natsf code.
The best and easiest and cheapest universal key programming device.

Lonsdor has worked well on Toyota. Programming steps are easy. For example,  done a Highlander 2023 all keys lost. Backup immo generate key simulator antenna open switch then add key and done.

 

Xhorse

Xhorse Key Tool Plus covers 95% of jobs, however I’d go for lonsdor, as autel and xhorse removing some manufacturers lonsdor still have them.

Xhorse is not good in Toyota, it can not do H blade all keys lost. You need in and out code for those cars.

If you need the cheapest tool for Toyota, go for Key Tool Max Pro instead. The Key Tool Max pro can do all those cars. You can even do all those smart keys from your phone with the xhorse toyota smart obd tool.

 Xhorse US Toyota Lexus 1

Xhorse US Toyota Lexus 2

AutoProPAD:

If only doing Asian cars auto pro pad is the one to go with.

If in your area the cars you work on most are made in USA, Canada then go for Auto pro pad it can do both blade and smart keys.

People have done multiple Toyotas. Recent ones being 2024-2025 Toyota AKL. Never failed.

Autopro pad same as smart pro.

 

Smart Pro:

Smart pro for older ones it’s the fastest and generates the key from immo data. smart pro is very user-friendly, but it is expensive and requires tokens. It is the best machine for Ford active alarm.

The Smart Pro is unreal for jobs like VW AKL, and some vehicles that are troublesome, but pretty much every job will use a token and hence costs you.

 

In sum:

All four are very good. You need all of them. You need to have many to get everything covered.

Autel IM608 II Fail to Add BMW G20 BDC3 Key Solution

11 Septembre 2025 , Rédigé par JTAC

 One of our customers reported that he failed to add a spare key to a BMW 316 G20 BDC3 system with Auel IM608 II programmer.

He generated the Autel BMW ikey with same fcc ID before programming, then disassembled the original key, read data and learn key. But the key is not working.

 

Autel IM608 Fail to Add BMW BDC3 Key

 

 

Possible solutions:

He made a mistake.

Don’t need to generate the key before programming!!!
The Autel is generating the new key automatically so you don’t have to pre-generate the new key.

The point is: Make another key without doing anything just put a new key on the programmer and everything will be handled successfully.

If you don’t have another Autel BMW ikey, no problem.
Generate the Autel key that you have as another key even if Hyundai or Kia and then put it directly on the programmer while programming the new key.
The point is to wipe out the BMW generation FCC ID from the Autel key that you have.

 

NOTE:

AUTEL does not support add key for all BDC3 Immo system vehicle models.

1. Ensure it is within the list of supported models.

2. MUST use Autel BMW ikey smart key. Autel does not accept other aftermarket or OEM key.

3. For keys with model years between 2020-2024 and the “Hungary” marking in the upper right corner, the success rate is higher.

 

Autel IM608 Fail to Add BMW BDC3 Key 2

 

4. Make sure you follow the correct instructions/steps to add key. Double-check the wiring connection during the read key data process.

OBDSTAR P50 Cannor Reset Toyota Camry 2025 Airbag?

4 Septembre 2025 , Rédigé par JTAC

Problem:

 I’m working on a 2025 Toyota Camry airbag module (part number 89170-06C60) and running into an issue. My OBDSTAR P50 scan tool only shows “Diag Only” — no option to reset the crash data.

Has anyone successfully cleared/reset crash data on this model yet?

Are there any alternative methods, bench solutions, or tools that support this year?

OBDSTAR P50 Cannot reset 2025 Toyota Camry Airbag 1

 

OBDSTAR P50 Cannot reset 2025 Toyota Camry Airbag 2

Solution:

OBDSTAR says diag only. It can only read and erase DTC, it cannot erase airbag crash for this part number. 

This processor (CYT2B93BAC) is not possible to read with any programmer.

No way by any tool, only buy new module from dealer.

That part number is not supported by any tool at the moment. Only option is to buy a new part.

Autel IM608 Adds BMW G Series BDC3 IMMO 1

 

The current function only supports adding keys for some BDC3 models, not all.
For keys with model years between 2020-2024 and the “Hungary” marking in the upper right corner, the success rate is higher.

Autel IM608 Adds BMW G Series BDC3 IMMO 2

Main steps to add BMW G Series BDC3 Key with Autel:

Go to Smart mode- scan BMW BDC3 immo module- select Add key function.

Step 1: Read vehicle info
Step 2: Read key data
This step requires disassembling the original key and reading data from original key.

There are 3 ways to connect the key board with xp400 pro:

  1. Use the APB113 adapter (it is included in the IMKPA kit) to connect the key to the xp400 programmer.

  2. Use a wiring harness to connect the key to the xp400 programmer.

  3. Use a solder-free clip to connect the key to the programmer.

It is recommended to use the APB113 adapter for more stable data reading.
