What do you prefer as automotive key programmers 1 – OBDSTAR X300 DP PLUS 2 - Autel MaxiIM IM608 3 - Xtool Auto pro pad or other tablet? Here’s the true working experience & feedback from a Facebook locksmith group questionnaire. Keep updating. 1) OBDSTAR is very good. works very well really is very good for the price. I have both obdstar and xtool pad2. ObdStar is superior. It works very well on fiat renault bmw and other brands that are not easy to work with another tool. 2) I got the xtool pro pad it works well on cars like newer GMs and Hyundai and Chrysler most fords. Obdstar x300 strictly for Honda Toyota keys and Nissan. And lastly the old t300 for older Fords with the 4c keys. I’m thinking of getting the us version of lonstor. 3) AutoProPad, hands down. Its software is designed specifically for the US market. 4) I’m loving my IM608, the tool not only program the keys, but is an excellent scanner and can program a other units like ELV, dashboard, EZS...
