Key Programmer help

[dakes2]

Can anyone please suggest a decent key programmer for programming the remote central locking part to  vehicle, i have no issues with transponders, its just when im trying to match the remote to the car for the central locking, thanks

this is going to depend on so many things , makes , models and years that you hope to be programming remotes to .

do you also want to program the remote keys you cant match a cloned chip to so programming on board chip and remote to the car , if so then makes , models and years factor in your choice of equipment .

if you want a good all rounder then smart pro will do alot of what you seek, if within the budget you want to spend .

if on a tighter budget consider a used mvp pro , im508 from autel has alot of coverage too.

lots of excellent tools out there , tdb1000 , truecode , zedfull but may be more than what you require , specialist make tools like abrites , vvdi2 , vvdi mb , vag tacho , supervag extreme mb tool and many more .

if just wanting to match remotes to keys you have cloned then if in budget smart pro is a decent fit , used mvp pro if budget tight .

You are going to need a lot more than just one machine unfortunately, depends on what makes of vehicles you want to cover.

There are many posts already on this subject in the forum already if you have a little search.

if looking at autel , then im508 and im608 are decent tools , for what you want to do i would go for the IM508 as IM608 will be too many functions that you wont use.

im608 has a larger screen and has alot of engine diagnostics functions which i doubt you will use , the annual subscription is £700

IM508 has a smaller screen , only basic engine diagnostic functions and the annual subs are under £300 .

IM508 if you also buy XP400 with it has the exact same key programming functions as IM608 , no difference between coverage at all on key programming , the difference between the 2 is just the larger screen and the engine diagnostic functions , i suspect you only need the key programming functions in which case im508 with xp400 is far cheaper to buy and £400 plus a year cheaper on subs.
