Smart Pro being sold for 50% less then locksmith distributors price

[keysmith]

An American auto parts store and Kaba/ILCO are working together to sell brand new factory sealed SP for $2400 USD and $120 a month for UTP to anybody

Call your local distributor and ask for a price match

been causing quite a shit storm with the usa locksmiths and rightly so , no shock to those of us in uk , our distributors have been selling to all and sundry for many years now , so the norm here , we are also well used to diagnostics being cheaper in europe and anywhere else than in uk .

basically distributors and manufacturers believe its justified to screw us

Might be a stupid question if bought in USA will it work here or will AD shut it down ?

[newone]

thats a good question

I bought a used MVP in Ireland that wouldn’t work in N.Ireland as it was registered in a different country. Called Hickleys with security code, seriel number, passwords etc and within an hour it was registered to me in UK and working.

Legally I don’t think they can block it in U.K. unless they stipulate for US use only at point of sale. For example say you worked in America and moved to U.K. they would surely have to unlock it for U.K. use

Loads of us buy keys and tools from China so wouldn’t be a big deal to ship tool from US to U.K.

It looks like distributors rather than producers/developers they seem to be putting a crazy mark up on tools. I know one example is the little orange vag code pin tool. Bought mine for $60 yet a UK distributor is selling for £195 plus VAT.

Totally agree every company has to turn a profit but ?????????
