How to Program VW Beetle 2016 ID48 Key using Autel KM100

Autel KM100 new user report:

add a spare key to the Volkswagen Beetle 2016 successfully.

Procedure:

It is ID48 not MQB.

First in option to copy chip and then it gives you the option to program. Generate ID48 chip with xhorse.

Read the eeprom and the immobilizer to give you the pin code, I made the backup, copy chip 48 with the same km100, which appears on the dash 0 of 1 and then the program key, then appears 1 of 1. Did it all via OBD2.

How to Fix Autel KM100 Frequently Restarts Problem

Problem:

Autel km100 key tool restarts every 3 or 5 or 10 minutes.

Here is the customer solution:

Below the battery is a shield, the largest one in the center. Remove.
This one USA. Thermal bread which in no way helps dissolve heat. I don’t know if all km100 heats mine uses a thermal camera because it repaired phones it’s almost similar. Switched to thermal paste which one I use for some phones. The temperature is dropping. Didn’t give me reboot issues again. My km100 is 3 months old I bought it from the first day it gave me that problem. Wasn’t used. Ask the brand because it was bought in the USA sending it is very expensive besides they lose with my country’s mail. That’s why I better check it out. If it has a warranty then it’s better to use it. But that’s another topic. I hope my experience helps you.

Autel KM100 Program 2019 Ford F-150 Smart Key with Active Alarm

Problem:

Using Autopropad G2 and Autel KM100 on a F-150 2019 Keyed ignition.
No keypad on door.
Active alarm.
After waiting 10-15 min, alarm beeps twice, then when i add a key the alarm starts beeping again with a note (security authentication failed).
Tried All keys lost.
Tried it under type 10 2017 fusion.
Tried under smart key.
No matter what i do, after the 2 beeps the alarm goes on again.
Any ideas what can be done to program a key?



Solution:

Here is the tip to program Ford F-150 key with an active alarm.

Common occurrence when all key lost even if no keypad. After you get the double honk, you can always them try the add key, if that fails, do the 10 minute wait time, and then try all keys lost, sometimes that works best.

If add key failed, use Autel all keys lost option.

Put screw driver on the door latch wait 10 minutes when you hear the twice alarm, hit ok.

It will read security and then the alarm will go off again.

Wait for twice alarm them hit ok. It will program the keys since it reads the security first time.
Keep in mind that you have to connect to a running car.
Door latch has to be closed with screw driver until the programming done.

If you have done the screw driver, when it beeps again let it be and wait for 2 beeps again.

Don’t disconnect anything wait for it and then hit ok it will go into programming mode right away.





OBDSTAR, Xhorse and Auto prog pad also have Ford AKL adapter to bypass active alarm. You can also take the Ford FDRS. Even with frds you have to wait the 10 minutes but it goes through from first try.





User feedback:

Solved with KM100. Sit in the car the whole 10 minutes, skip the open door to power up. I used the KM100 and it worked fine when the Ford was in alarm.

Autel, OBDSTAR or VVDI to Program Hyundai Santa Fe 2023+ Smart Key

Pin reading hit or miss on newer Hyundai/Kia models with aftermarket tools. Some have no support for pincode read at the moment regardless of tool used.

For example, 2023 Kia Rio couldn’t read the pin. Dealer didn’t even have access to the pin. It is crazy that even dealer couldn’t source a pin.

Newer models we had best luck with OBDSTAR or VVDI Key Tool Plus if it’s a 8A, 6A chip type. 4A and 47 Autel do great.



Quick update for people who may worked or did not work on Hyundai Santa Fe models 2023+. Picture below is a 2023 model that had all keys lost.



Successfully done with Autel IM608 and no 3rd party pincode retrieval was needed. You can all read via OBD the pincode and either lishi the lock or just remove it for decoding to cut the emergency blade.
Lishi that supports keyway KK12 with 7 to 8 cuts. This model has 7 cuts. Have to remove lock because I didn’t have lishi like that in inventory. Easy disassembly and reinstall.

If you plan to get this vehicle done, please note:
-Autel has no universal key option to generate for this car, only until 2022 (TM Version). Car model below is TMA Version.
– Xhorse does have one, but proximity option will not work, but the rest will and only XM38 series is supported (selective few key types). If you get a car like this, luckily AKS and UHS have aftermarket variants that work great. Check with dealer first by VIN the part number and you are all set.
Did Elanta 2023, Sportage 2023, and this one and had no issues.
Good luck out there!
