Thank you for all the information! I did some research after watching the first time, and i did discover that the 868/915mhz keys CAN be generated with the KM100, but you must use the Ford Style High Frequency remote. Hopefully this helps anyone else with this concern!
have the Autel KM100, but when I go into Hot Functions, Lost All Keys or Add A Key it can't communicate with the ECU. I am connected to the Internet, it is connected using the usb-c cable. But it won't communicate with the ecu. Any ideas? A local locksmith (i just don't trust him) told me the KM100 is a joke and the newer gm trucks can only programmed by a special dealer software. I don't believe him
test the km100 on another vehicle first. after that send an email to autel and ask if there is compatibility with your vehicle or if the km100 can do the job. I have seen that for the more complex jobs autel wants you to have the AUTEL IM508 or IM608. And never give up :)
For some reason I am tempted to think that the best tools from Autel are the IM508 and IM608 ... those are the ones that set Autel apart. Expensive but they do the job.
I'm not sure owners of premium cars, or even nice late model Toyota or Honda would want a universal key to replace the factory key. Will this program oem keys? And I see a $250 update fee which is more than half the cost of the tool. If you don't update after one year, will the tool still work?
THANKS FOR THE REPLY...I REALLY LIKE THIS TOOL SO FAR I HAVE REPLACED A HYUNDAI ACCENT PCM AND PROGRAMMED THE KEY ALSO PROGRAM NISSAN SERENA KEYS . IT'S SMALL BUT VERY POWERFUL !!!@@BestCarMods
I'm next to positive that it does but does this scanner also work as a regular OBD2 scanner for reading and resetting codes along with general maintenance things such as resetting service lights and putting the electronic parking brake into service mode and maybe even reading TPMS
I would say that it does not allow for that. autel kept diagnostics separate from key programming. but It has been a while since I used it, and I am talking from memory.
Hi, I was about to buy it to program e90 keys for my car but you mention that it wont program 868mhz bmw. What other tool can you recommend us for this frequency please ? (Cheapest if possible)
for only 1 key you are better of getting someone else to code it and cut it. in the UK a key + cut + code is less than GBP150. You don't have a tool to do it at that pricepoint. Autel IM508 will do it. Xtool has some units that can do it.
I don't work as a locksmith, so I don't have extensive experience with it. What I have seen at some of my friends is the Xhorse Dolphin XP005L as the essential tool for cutting the keys and the Xhorse Max or Autel IM508 / I608.
unlocking keys is not dependent on the programming tool. It can unlock any original key that it has on the database. don't know about proprietary keys from Xhorse
My problem with it, is that the Autel KM100 can't make 868 keys for bmw. It can make 868 keys for FORD or some other strange brand. Also The universal keys autel have just don't cover that option because the majority of bmw are other Hz. Now the programming capability of the unit is not related to the Hz. that is another thing all together. Did not have any old BMW to test compatibility, but I expect it to be able to do it.
@BestCarMods ahh okay, is there another way or tool that does it ? Because i face this problem often when i buy a car from Coparts, it usually comes with 1 key.
@@BestCarModscan you do audi 2020 q8 with it or xtool is better ? And what about bmw x5 2021 thank you waiting for answer before buying either km100 or xtool
KM100 can't do any BMW from 2010 onwards. You need IM508 . However KM100 can generate a key that you can code with other more advances tools from Xtool H6Pro or their dedicate Key programming tools. I am not familiar with the Audi Q8s . @@MoBro-mf5tg
@@johnpham9038 the Autel universal key can be unlocked. you can do that from the km100 without having to open up the key and connect wires. check the menu. this is the big advantage with these keys. you can use them and reused without to much work.

great video and well spoken and articulated. I have a IM508 and XP400pro to do BMW keys and eeprom on the bench
Is the im508 the most compatible with bmw and does it work for newer models say 2018 and upwards?
Thanks
@ 508 is compatible but you’ll need xp400pro as well and you can only go up to FEM
@@pouncerminned863 sorry for my incompetence I’m new to this!
What is the fem?
@ chassis of bmw
@@pouncerminned863 so the im508 device won’t work for newer bmw models?
Do u know if the Autel km100 program keys for bmw 2010 and up? Can u please do a video explaining more about programming bmw? The details please!
the km100 can't do 2010+ bmws. I am looking at testing some xtool scanners that I have that could do the bmw.

One more question… do you know while testing to add keys or all keys lost on a vehicle with our tools, Is there a chance to brick it?
Very nice video… can this machine program 2010 Subaru Forster keys … all keys are lost
based on the age of the vehicle I would expect so
can you do lost all keys on 2005 landrover lr3?

For some reason I am tempted to think that the best tools from Autel are the IM508 and IM608 ... those are the ones that set Autel apart. Expensive but they do the job.
What device would you recommend for newer model bmw cars? Say a 2019 G30
I don't think there is a tool that can do that at the moment.
I'm not sure owners of premium cars, or even nice late model Toyota or Honda would want a universal key to replace the factory key. Will this program oem keys? And I see a $250 update fee which is more than half the cost of the tool. If you don't update after one year, will the tool still work?
The KM100 did not have any update fee at the time of me buying it. Yes it can be used on some vehicles to program/diagnose OEM keys.

Very helpful video. Can this device copy an existing key and put that onto a new one?
for some key types yes. but is not a simple process.
Can it ''clone'' bmw f10 key? Is cloning different from generating ?
it can't code/clone bmw f10 keys. where are you based ?
Just on thing,if is all key lost and we make new with this autel but after maybe find original key,will original work ?
As the name says it ... all key lost will delete all keys and start fresh.

Which would you recommend between the Autel KM100 and the Xhorse Max? As a beginner locksmith ofcourse.

Will this tool program keys on late model Volvos?
I did not test it on Volvos yet .
My f20 has 868 😂 and want to add a key i have the original. So any chance on pulling this?

Hello, is fit for Cas4 BMW keys??
Can you unlock keys that have been programmed with xtool d7s

How the xtool kc501 compares to km100
don't know the answer for that. Did not have access to any Xtool with the KC501 programmer.
I have made the universal key but not yet programmed can it unlock
what do you think is the most likely answer ?
@@BestCarMods so universal key once is locked then cannot be unlocked like other original key used for other model

it work for generating BMW keys that are not the 868 frequency, and also it is not able to code the key to cas4 or cas4+ fembdc systems

Km100 can program lost keys?
