    Xhorse does have good quality keys.

    I do like oem look keys. And keydiy does make some of these.
    The quality is not like Xhorse.

    I dont have Autel.
    The Fca smart keys, they look ok, and some of the hyundai smart keys.
    I will order some, just to check them out.



    Some off these Chinese keys, dont age well.
    Chrome flake comes of, shine lost, and boards with out any protective layer over the components.

    Hi
    Thank you.
    I noticed that the autel smart keys were around twice the price of xhorse.

    Then you should consider buying the xhorse minikeytool.
    And some ds style wireless(all psa till 2015) , and Hyundai style 3 button remotes ( on Ford and aygos)

    Autel only sell smartkey for now and price are same as Xhorse

    I bought some from MK3 around 18$. AUtel can generate some smartkey which Xhorse, KD can't.

    Hi
    Thank you lion0304. Makes sense if the autel keys are better than the xhorse to pay more.

    18 USD is definitely very reasonable price for the autel keys then. The cheapest smart autel keys i could source were 27usd and up. Ebay AliExpress and obd something website

    What do you mean sh..t? The platic case or electronic PCB?

    I see the case are thinner but good plastic, PCB is thin but better manufactured than others keys.

    I don't like their quality (case)

    Also I read few bad feedbacks that they stop work after few week - never tried my self as I never had car that only Autel can generate key

    I use all KD, Xhorse and recently Autel.

    And i can tell that PCB and components made are better than KD or Xhorse.

    Only thing i see it light weight but when key are dropped on the ground, less dammage inside because the key's weight.

    Small components, better soldering, PCB is good quality material.
