Toyota highlanler 2015 prox
it is important to say that I also tried with techstreem I was able to reset but car will not close programming, sec ligh would stay on after touching emblem and would no beep after touch of emblem. I thought it was the key so I grabed another one and the same. Keys will lock tho. I will keep sharring about the kia and hundai and all the rest I get to use it on

I have tried the lonsdor this on 9 vehicles in the past two weeks all vehicles were lost all keys and here is what I find

2002 MK4 Golf - Unable to pull pin so I used different equipment to read pin and code key
2003 audi tt. failed to read pin so I used different equipment to read pin and code key
2006 MK5 Golf - pulled correct pin unable to code key.
2009 Corsa D - unable to read pin
2008 Suzuki Swift - communicated well but unable to code key without pin number. I used skp900 and key coded right away without asking for pin
2009 BMW E90 - Asked for Cas3+ to be updated this was a spare key not lost keys
2007 Fiat Punto grande - No communication
2006 Honda Accord coded key easily and quickly
2010 MK6 golf - need working key. does not give the option to code key from dump. I will be selling mine. Payed £1100 + 250 TAXES

you may find selling it is difficult , more so for the buyer . once registered to an email and a user it is locked to that email account and user and cannot be registered to another user and email account .

a few here in uk have tried selling it only to find buyer cannot update it and cannot use any online functions , the only way they can do this is if they have access to your log ins and to your email account its registered to .

this was confirmed by lonsdor , once registered to a user it cant be changed .

You planned to use K518ISE to work on old VAG vehicles with immo 2th -3th? Did you try the 4th -5th IMMO, it is supposed to be working fine.

2008 Suzuki Swift is supposed to get pin number before coding key.

2009 BMW E90: for CAS3+ no matter you add spare key or program new key when all keys lost, K518ISE will ask for update CAS3+ that means downgrade, for the keys lost option, a part of cas3+ need to read engine data after update.

Let's wait the update in the comming days. After all they claim the update is free.

as usual new tool nothing is tested from factory what did we expect the claim does this or that cannot do no even the simple tasks that sbb can i would stay well away from this tool for the money and since would be very hard to sell

afterwards if not happy with it .

We have all been coned maybe 1 time update then we will have to pay another ££££ for new machine the last 2 tools going in bin including k518 would have been cheaper to buy AVDI in the long run had I known, they are not going to con me again regardless ...

The main reason I bought it was for Toyota and Lexus smart keys with emulator. I can already do these cars but it takes time to remove smart box read eeprom solder back and then code key. I also was wanted to see what it was like on the VAG 4 and 5 and Volvo cars. However due to the price I expected it to do the older cars very easily. Looking at the feedback it seems to be failing even on the Toyotas. In this business time is money. If my £400 skp900 can code a Suzuki swift key in two mins without the need for me to read or acquire pin code why would I go through the extra stress of using the lonsdor. I tried the londor on a 2007 Audi A6 lost keys and it failed. I have tools that can do the BMW cas3++ already. So, all in all, I will rate this machine 4/10 for now until I see some updates that can improve usability.

well as they developped the software for skp900 , anything that currently works on skp900 but not on k518 is bound to get quickly fixed , so those issues im sure will be resolved .

at first site it looks like alot of tool , and if they get these functions working im sure it will be , but its never going to be an abrites , an ad100 pro etc .

it is what it is , and china being china , i suspect obdstar , xtool and others will copy whats new on k518 too , which will lead to k518 being dropped in favour of a new v2 tool.

K518 looks an interesting tool with alot of claimed coverage for the money , il look at where it is in a years time .
