Have Autek ikey820, SKP900, obdstar x300 dp, ck200 etc to test the same car models and share the test reports.
Test report 1.
Autek ikey820
2018 rogue used 2017 rogue in menu success in 30 secs
Usa add 2 key 434mhz 4 button
Obdstar x300 dp has 2017-19 in menu but it failed(at least it warned about bad bcm id numbers and gave cars current id
Test report 2.
2007 ford explorer BOTH x300dp and autek ikey820 fail to even communicate on the immo side( tried many different ways) FAIL
x300dp could go into diagnostics side though
JOB DONE BY YOU GUESSED IT!!!
CK200 for the win 10 minutes later
next up is a 2010 Infiniti M35
again we have total failure on the autek ikey820 FAIL
it was even saying the NEW pincode was the old pincode
had to go into the the x300dp under manual and choose type MC as automatic was not working
also I checked just for fun CK200 did it without issue……..
so success x2 with the obdstar and ckstar units just not autek
Test report 3.
it’s pretty much ck100 with added cars and features and corrections and it comes with 10,246 tokens on it so it will pretty much never run out………….
it was last updated about 2016 i think
it has come through on many jobs when much newer machines wouldn’t
it doesn’t have a lot of the newer systems but for the older stuff its damn solid
just look up a ck200 and the updates it had and the differences plenty of info out there on what they added.

Test report 7.
This tool is getting better, I think.
It has many glitches, like other people stated, sometimes SKP900 does better job. But it works on some newer cars. For example, today I programmed used key to 2015 Nissan Leaf (adding the key), even though it was quite scary.
Never done this car before. Had both working and second (used) keys in the car (I think this was my mistake). Tool connected, pulled PIN no problem, then asked to turn ignition on (no slot or place for smart key or I couldn’t find it). So I pressed Start button by working key. Tool was thinking for a while, than gave “connection error”. Then comes scary part – original key stopped working. Tried once more – same result. Dash still was turning on though and showing I-key error or something like that. It didn’t look good at all. But when I’ve tried to move the car, to my big surprise it moved! After some checking I occasionally found that second key (which was simply sitting in my pocket) now opens the doors! Then I removed this second key from the car and tried to program key with just one (original) key inside the car. Same thing – tool gave “connection error” at the end, but nevertheless, original key was programmed and started working again! I went outside, grabbed another key. Guess what? It stopped working! But when I took it inside and clicked start button with it, it also started working again .
Most funny part – after turning ignition on few times “I-Key error” disappeared too!
So even though it was pain in the a**, I’ve got two keys programmed with Ikey 820. BTW, SKP-900 couldn’t do anything with this car (or at least I wasn’t able to do it).
PS. Follow up – after some driving Check engine light came up on Nissan Leaf, P0513 (incorrect immobilizer key). So there’s definitely not all smooth.
Other Nissan done recently with Autek iKey 820 – 2008 Nissan 370Z. Added smart key – one minute, automatic PIN, no problems, very easy.
2011 VW Routan add fobik – 2 min, no problems.
there are no clear instructions on the screen at all, and I couldn’t find them on the Internet for Nissan Leaf. Not sure if they are the same with other Nissans of similar age. If I remember correctly – tool says “success”, which (I think) only enters programming mode. I click OK. Next screen says “turn ignition on”, but doesn’t say how this should be done, where should be the keys. I clicked start button with original key, ignition turned on. I clicked OK on the tool, it was thinking a bit and then gave “programming failed” or something like that.
I found this info on the internet for Nissan Leaf, they used Zed-Full just to get car into programming mode, then basically all was done without tool:
“What we do is to just ZF to turn off the electric steering wheel lock, it will find bcm, convert to pin and turn off steering wheel lock in one process, then you don’t have to use ZF anymore, just register keys. push button with key logo so dash comes on, push button again to dash goes off, click unlock, if that’s the last key, finish with lock.
doors must be closed when doing last key and finishing programming with lock button on key.
a message in dash will blink 5 times to confirm that programming mode is finished. ID it doesn’t blink, simply repeat last two steps, push start button with key to light dashboard, push start button again to let the dash go off, push unlock, then lock. dashboard will confirm.
remember to start with no keys in car, and no more than one key inside the car in any given time during programming.”
To be upgrading…
