We explore the capabilities of Autel’s new AT100 super chip by attempting to clone a 2024 Toyota Hilux key (Type H) using the Autel IM508 and XP400 Pro.
Step-by-Step Cloning Process
1. Reading the Original Key
- First, the original Hilux key was read using VVDI, which identified it as an 8A transponder with the following details:
- ID: 5DB 3A 8A4 39
- Type: Cloneable 8A chip
- Next, the same key was scanned with the Autel IM508 + XP400 to verify consistency.
- The Autel system detected a similar 8A chip but displayed the data in a slightly different format.
2. Cloning with Autel’s AT100 Chip
- Selected “Transponder Cloning” in the Autel IM508 menu.
- Manually chose the 8A chip type (unlike VVDI, which does this automatically).
- Followed the prompts to:
- Insert the original key into the XP400’s slot.
- Remove it and replace it with the blank AT100 chip.
3. Initial Failure & Retry
- The first cloning attempt failed, possibly due to:
- Improper chip positioning.
- Communication lag between devices.
- After repositioning the chip and retrying, the process succeeded.
4. Verifying the Cloned Key
- Both the original and cloned keys were scanned again.
- Confirmed that the clone had the same ID (5DB 3A 8A4 39) and functioned correctly.
Works Successfully – The AT100 chip can clone 8A transponders, including the 2024 Hilux key.
