    RW4 plus has id46 cloning built into it , rw4 doesnt and for id46 on rw4 you need the p box for id46 cloning .

    the m box can be added to both for id48 cloning .

    best bet is stick to rw4 plus as id46 is built in , and if trading in even an old cloner the price can be heavily discounted

    keyline ultegra or keyline mini with extreme kit offer same coverage but with mini you need internet connection for 4d and 46 cloning , with ultegra its stand alone and like silca only id48 needs internet

    The RW4 Plus has ID46 P-BOX integrated.
    NWKeys had a cracking deal that finished 31 DEC.
    RW4 Plus + M-BOX for ?999+VAT but you had to part-ex any old existing cloner.
    I found an old basic Chinese cloner that I'd had for years.
    Included in the deal was 10x GTI chips, and 10x T48 chips which on their own are ?200, so the units only cost around ?800+VAT

    And main difference now is that last update is not released for RW4, only for RW4+, maybe they quit support for those old machines, will see when next update came out...

    rw4 is the old model that replaced with rw4+ some years ago,does not use electronic heads anymore,those replaced by silca gti chips,you can search for a fresh stp program and find easily what can do and with what chip

    This device is very good, but only for cloning the key, you do not have a key do not make a key

    04.02.086 latest rw4 firmware,when you try to update you must choose correct port,if so you will see the serial number of the machine then you can proceed
