Here is the new customer feedback on TM100 key programmer (basic module $489) after 3 months of use.

Part I: TM100 What worked and failed

1. Let’s get to the point, following car models I tested OK with TM100:

• Nissan Tiida 2010-2012 x 6 (all OK)
• 2012 Nissan versa OK
• Fiat Palio 2006 Delphi OK
• Delphi Fiat Doblo 2007 OK
• Chevrolet Sonic 2012 OK (use module Astra J)
• Chevrolet Sail (x2) 2012, 2014 OK (use module Chevrolet Aveo 93C56) (work but leave a bug in the dump)

• Subaru Tribeca 2008 OK

• Symbol Renault and Nissan Platina (X3) OK (remote program control OK)

Following car models I tested NOT OK with TM100:

• Nissan QASHQAI 2010 unprogrammed
• Do not unlock proximity Lexus Control

My personal review on this TM100:

In general I am happy with this TM100 transponder programmer, but I also found some problems:

• Slowness chips reading
• Lack of information for programming

Actually I have also seen some negative comments, which exaggerate and degrade the real value of this equipment. In my opinion, everybody knows TM100 is not Tango, and compare tm100 with Tango things is not fair, you always pay for what you get. And this TM100 did what it should do for me, so I share my experience here.
