MK808 didn’t program certain keys when it came to like a Toyota Prius lost all keys. (not sure for the feature updates), it cannot do BMW, VAG models. The x100 pad2 can do it. The reason why people buy it because this one can program fobs like wireless fobs which all new cars come with nowadays where it has the wireless fob. This machine programs them flawlessly.

X100 pad2 does program keys for BMW. But it cannot do Benz. Xtool does work on Lexus but mk808 wasn’t.

MaxiCOM MK808 regular keys programming has worked out flawlessly. This one has programmed regular keys quickly, but the process on x100pad2 has been a lot faster.
