    For start I would go with Condor XC-Mini or second hand Miracle machine. And for opening locked cars and decoding locks for getting keycodes, lishi tools is must have. Lot of training required but it's a pleasure to train with those tools Good luck

    First you have to consider your self how much memories you can remember because there are to many types of keys in the market.
    1. Do you just want to cut the keys and copy?
    2. Do you just want to cut and programme keys?
    3. Do you want to do the lot including lost keys and programming ECU?
    For the lot you need over 80 grand to start with....

    Thinking of paying a locksmith in next town over 100 miles away to ride around with em a few weeks or months.
    Does lishi or condor come with book to decode door/trunk cylinder code? Also thinking of starting off with access tools set for lockouts

    Condor is plug and play.i have and very often i have problem..
    for lishi tools you have to practice a lot for every lock.
    There is book also available for lishi but i think practice is you make decode locks.book i dont reccomend.

    Xc-mini
    Instacode on your phone
    Autopropad
    Small duplicator xc-009
    Set of Auto smart books


    That pretty much covers you and gives you plenty of room to grow
    Also I don't know what that moron was doing that he set off the airbag,...........

    never even heard of this
