Basic difference between SBB and Tango is that SBB programmes via OBD port while Tango writes the transponder chips into the immobiliser eeprom chip which you have usually to desolder first and read the dump or writes from the dump onto the chip. There are lots of people on this forum who will gladly help with any questions you might have but always use the search button first and the cardinal rule is always press the thanks button for those who have assisted you. For a lot of vehicles you'll need a pin code to put keys in, some chips are locked after programming, some remote keys have the chips built into them and need a new chip soldered on and to be precoded before the remote can be reused as well as lots of other boobytraps to be overcome along the way. No machine will do all so be prepared to invest in numerous options. Read ,read, and some more reading is required here as well as lots of experimenting

True gwee , but it's like gibberish if you don't have 3-6 months of field work

I was lucky and a 60 years old locksmith took me to his shop in Las Vegas and I just looked at him for 2 months , and then I struggle by my self for anther 6 months success doing 2 cars from 4 cars I was trying ( because I didn't was familiar with dk) and just after this I was starting to know what I need to do before arriving the job.

Not always a good idea , logically speaking this kills business for locksmith in the long-run. the money making side for locksmiths is key programming!!! Just imagine everyone switching off immos in cars!

The market flooded with locksmiths and china tools getting better so many costumers getting 30-50% lower prices for keys. And I got 30k worth of tools just sitting in my shop.
And in my country garages even don't know English and basic soldering and programming of diagnostics stuff so I put all my effort on give solutions to the garage and not increase the google pay per click amount every day for getting 10-15 calls a day for just asking prices and do nothing or earn very little.
For immo off I charge 100 pounds. For spare transponder key the market price went down to 20-30 pounds. After I practice on my soldering skills it take me 5 to 20 minutes to immo off ecu and I not spending a penny on advertise . I sure in the English speaking countries many mechanics doing day to day diagnostics but here it's old fashion guys

Okay guys thanks for all info you gave me.
Im glad im here :)
Just need an advice
What tools to get ?
What if i got a honda crv lost keys ?
There's somekind of auto cutting tools but the problem is which one to get ?
I already got tango and rosfar and avdi- but with some licenses. .
I used skp-900 and mvp pro and sbb tools in my older work..
But yes mvp costs alot especially after paying for tango and extra tools and shop oppening
Any advice would be great, thanks everyone for the help
By the way im only 19 years old so :p im barley standing up and face this ..
Edit : is there any kind of vodoo Icc calc ?
Or cheaper one you know :p
Thanks anyway.
