I ordered a BGA style key. Do you need the IR protag machine for this as well? Is it a must?

Hi

May be Daxxer can tell you more about the key.

I think the key is a beter version of the Chinese version and can be programmed also by other devices.

Can this key be programmed by removing NEC and writing in nec programmer ? or only through IR ?

**nick4jc** · 18th January, 2018, 11:48 AM

writing thru IR is he future.. remove NEC is just too much problem for aftermarket key.. to get password for genuine key yes remove NEC..

I ve used the one with one battery and got the last time a lot of problems.

Now I m using also the one with 2 battery. Till now no problems.

I m going to try the one from Xhorse and see. First my stock has to be liquidated.
