Eeprom work - what tool to buy?

[sparkz02]

Hi guys currently have no tool for eeprom software,

Which would you suggest to go for,

Mostly after something for Toyota's, Fiats stuff that can't be done with AD products really.

VAG passat keys aswell via comfort unit.

I'm after something that can read processors, well at least some on board without the need to remove them,

I've looked at Tango with basic software can't find much info on kap. Also looked at TmPRO

What's user reviews?

[siyadk]

are u looking for a reader or a programmers like tango, coz tango or tmpro cannot read processors or eeprom. u need a reader to do that

[sparkz02]

Oh i was under impression tango/tmpro was a reader/programmer.

[gwee]

upa and tmpro to start with.

[keysph]

A.D. will soon implement precoding for Fiat chips via AD900 (megacopy) just like in case of VAG CAN chips.
So you will no longer need eeprom job.

problem with tmPRO is once you purchase a few units it comes expensive, 170 on hardware, + say for example 5 units x 80 + 2 x 210 = ?780 and you don't have much coverage, there is always the TAGkeytool aint sure how good it is.

[gwee]

Tag key tool is not very reliable, many modules not working.

[Fallen]

Original TAG key tool works very well, the only problem is the transponder reader/writer ring, its a joke.

X prog is good if you can afford a genuine item!

[curtpza]

Pin and Pre-code info via OBD is already released by AD

...read Pin Code & Precoding data via the OBD socket on vehicles using an ID:48 transponder, fitted with Marelli or Delphi BCM***8217;s. This update now provides virtually 100% coverage on these vehicles.


TMPro is very good but the modules very very expensive

[sparkz02]

So what do you guys use for eeproming and what would you recommend? Value for money,

[drakov]

AVDI, Tagkey Tool, TMPro, Tango, Orange5, XProgM, UPA

what ever kit you buy , it will soon become outdated unless you continue to spend on it , and you will get frustrated no matter what kit you buy especially when the next kit does more or does something your chosen kit cant do yet , sods law etc .

i would go for kit that gets future updates such as miraclone , avdi and tango etc , but these are not cheap.

The best advice is to do a bit of leg work , research what makes and models you need to cover discount what you wont cover , look at your budget then select the best bit of kit for your needs within your budget .
