SKP-900 might be a good start, I haven't yet seen one but been looking into it and it doesn't look bad but as said don't expect one tool to do everything.

The skp 900 would be good for me as it fills a few gaps in my programming but you always find you need more.

USA market? Do you have volume to do? If so, invest in MVP Pro from advanced diagnostics. Free software updates, reasonably good support. Only catch is the need to purchase pay-per-use tokens, buy in quantity to save money. Also, purchase "token saver" Chinese programmers like X100, SBB, T300 that will do several models (but not all) free without tokens. For anything you can't do with these tools, study, study, study..........Actually, before you use any of them...........study, study, study.

yes USA market, i will just be starting off . so no volume at the moment.
the x100, SBB, T300 those tools do older cars. i would like to know tools that will program new 2013up vehicles

For 2013 cars Mvp ad100pro or avdi that I know but not cheap and they won't do everything 2013.


Heres the list for skp 900

Only thing is I want to know about the update policy first as it's not clear, it does look better for USA market on the ford tho.

Only tools that can be updated will do newer cars, every year that passes brings newer cars, is that right? As Automat and zippy recommended, use MVP Pro, free software updates, drawback is pay per use tokens. Good luck!!

what is the latest software version of MVP pro M8?? or is the M8 a different ??

[luis12]

Im in Central America and have a market like USA, you need more than one tool, for example AVDI does Toyota/Lexus, Nissan, Fords/Mazda, Mitsubishi and most European Brands but don covers Honda, Automat is right the best option for you is a token MVP pro because dont need to purchase an expensive programs only pay as you need and has a very accesible Price other very usefull tool is Tango it helps a lot but requires electronic skills.. for finish there are no one tool for all.

[luis12]

I forget to include in AVDI Chrysler/Jeep, very amazing tool....

[cqae]

avdi works great for me on hyundai, jeep, toyota, vag and opel, but your gonna have to get a few tools to cover bases.

I'd suggest one big bad tool, mvp/avdi/zedfull or something like that and cover gaps with cheaper units

AVDI where to buy ??

is the Key pro M8 the same as the MVP pro??

[p1et]

Yes it's the same but it work on old software of genuine MVP. You will not get any updates for it. You don't have ex. VAG 2013 or Ford Coded 2014 in M8.

by what has been posted here I wouldn't use the VAG 2013 if it changes the CS bytes!

[lwood]

any one know of a great seller in the United States for The MVP Pro??

Yeah I'm still aware of using this soft but I think it's still not clear if changes or no changes? I remember some digital kaos member told it cannot change if the working key is required. Do you know something more?

Sorry for little off-topic, hope it's acceptable.

[lwood]

thats ok with me. just hope no one skips my question.

there was a post not too long ago saying it killed a car seemingly changing the CS and AD paid to fix it, and judging by the lack of clarification from AD surely only means one thing..

unsure how they are making the existing key working guess they are unlocking/reusing it unless it ask if you have a working key, then it doesn't need to change CS.. who knows; very unprofessional from AD not clarifying this to give their customers warning.

Here's another good supplier.

By the way, if you are just coding keys for USA cars, you won't need anything else for toyota, MVP will do them easily.
