About this product
The XTOOL X100 PADS is a handheld key programmer that also works as an OBD2 scanner, made for the situation every driver dreads: the key is lost, the spare is gone and the car will not start. It reads and writes immobiliser chip data, so you can pull fault codes first and judge whether the problem really sits with the key rather than with the ignition or the battery. Before ordering, confirm three things with the seller: your exact model and year, whether the immobiliser system listed in the offer covers that car, and whether a blank key or transponder chip still has to be bought separately. On many vehicles the car has to be present for programming, and some models need an existing working key or higher access rights; the listing does not explain the procedure, so check that your car can be done this way before the parcel arrives.
