CK-100 Auto Key Programmer Reviews

My friend has a SBB key programmer; he says it has an upgrading one: CK-100, CK-100 V99.99 is better than SBB key programmer. Then I got one from obd365 about 150 dollars, not expensive. CK-100 supports English, Italian, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish. It has more languages, so it's easier for different users from worldwide.

He used it to program keys for his Audi and I programmed 2 cars (Acura and Chrysler). It worked well. CK-100 needs tokens and it has only 1024 tokens. I cannot add tokens online, but buy an AT89C51CC03U NXP Fix Chip and directly replace the old board with the new one, then CLK100 will have more 1024 tokens.

NXP fix Chip for Ck-100 V99.99

I wanted to use this tool to program Toyota chip G. But I was suggested to use FVDI and after tested it can work. The shortage of CK-100 is that it cannot update online which is a little bit trouble, but it is cheap, so it deserves its value.

Introduced in the 1990s, electronic keys can be programmed to your car's engine to offer extra convenience and security for your vehicle.

You can reprogram lost signals from your driver's seat, in just minutes, as long as you have two programmed keys.

Enter your car with your two programmed keys and your new, unprogrammed key.

Insert the first programmed key into the ignition. Turn it to the "On" position, and then back to the "Off" position.

Remove the first key and insert the second key within five seconds.

Turn the second key "On" and then back "Off." Remove the key.

Insert the new key with VPC-100 within 10 seconds and turn it to the "On" position for one second. Return it to the "Off" position.

Wait for the security light to turn on and stay on for three seconds before removing the new key. The reprogramming is now finished.

Review on SVDI VAG Commander

Early this year OBD365 sent me an email about their new arrivals, among which I saw SVDI VAG. I had heard about this tool recently. Since their price was reasonable, I finally decided to give a shot. I ordered one from its official website SVDI VAG Commander 19+BMW Commander+Immoplus+Tag Key Tool for US$599.99. By far I have had the tool for nearly a month. Here I would like to share my reviews.

First things first, I can tell you that the tool really works. I have reset an Audi A6 service light and clear a 08 VW PASSAT 2.0airbag crash data with the tool. I also have successfully used it to program ECUs for a VW and a Skoda.

Besides, different from other VW diagnostic tools I have used before, SVDI is compatiable with both gasoline and diesel cars and trucks. That is just what I need.

About its quality and abaility, I have exchanged views with some mechanic friends who purchases SVDI from real stores. It is a lot cheaper than those SVDI commanders sold in auto repair shops, but according to my friends, it works as good as those ones.
