I got a Toyota Roomy van with one key, the second either remained in Japan.
I’ve been planning to fix this for a long time.And I ordered a key and amini vci Toyota techstream cable.
The key must be new or blank. To register the key you need to prepare a laptop with Techstream installed, amini VCI cable, an old key and a new key.
I registered with Techstream version 16.20.023.
Then the program will ask you to bring the old key to the start button – if the central lock clicks ok, then the new key.These operations take 30 seconds.– you need to have the keys in direct access.)
Everything, the new key is registered, it remains only to cut a new physical key on a blank.

Problem:
I need to read Volvo KVM data withLonsdor K518ISEK-prog2 programmer. But it days run App failed. Adapter module is not bound. Any solution?
Solution:
You have to combinekprog2 adapterwith K518ISE in order to read immo data.
Follow instruction here to bind kprog 2 with k518.
How to connect or bind KProg withLonsdor K518:
If it’s the first time to use the KProg adapter, you need to bind it with K518ISE.
Connect kprog
Go to the K518ISE home page
Choose "Settings -> Bind adapter”
And followthe direction to finish binding
You have to know:
One K518ISE host can bind up to 5 adapters
And the bound adapter can not be bound to other K518ISE hosts.
Once bound, no need to bind again.

How to program Toyota Prius year 2011 all keys lost usingAutel MaxiIM IM608+APB112+xhorse Toyota XM38 smart key.
Preparation:
Feed the vehicle with power supply 12v
Generate xhorse xm38 remote under this option- Prius 2008-2014 F433 433.92 FSK
There are 2 ways to program all keys lost.
Guided function
Normal procedure.
Guided function menu path: Manual selection->Prius->Smart Key->Hot functions-All keys lost (using analog key) guided
Step 1: Backup immo data
Step 2: Generate analog key
Step 3: Key Learning
There is a "guided function" forprogramming with Autel, which would certainly have been easier.
You can also do it as a regular procedure.
Select Manual selection->Prius->Smart Key->Control unit->Keyless System (CAN)
Step 1: Backup immo data
Backup Immo data
Enable internet connection.
Turn the ignition off and turn the hazard warning lamps on and off once
Read immo data in process
Save data
Step 2: Generate analog key
Connect APB112 emulator with im608
upload eeprom data backup in step 1
Generate simulator key successfully.
Then simulator key now can start car
Step 3: Add smart key with the APB112
Put the analog key close to the START button
Put aXhorse XM38 smart keyneed to learn to the START button
Key learning success

Here we share users’ experience with those wanting to add TPMS sensors to their Chevrolet Corvette C5 Z06.
Background:
He recently replaced the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 tires on C5 Z06 with new Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires in the following sizes on OEM Z06 wheels (Frt: 255/40/17 and Rr: 295/35/1 so when he did that he decided to add TPMS sensors to the wheels and then enable the TPMS system in the DIC.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– Four TPMS sensors (he ordered these through Rock Auto. They are Schrader Model# 20117. Schrader makes the OEM sensors and these are the exact same as OE but only cost $20.79/ea, so the total cost was around $88 for all four)
–GM TECH2 scan tooldevice (i got a clone fromobdii365.com)
– A strong magnet, preferably round
So first you’ll need to add the TPMS sensors (Schrader Model 20117 or OE/ACDELCO# 25773946) to your wheels. Be sure to NOT overtighten the sensor nut when installing them. The torque spec is 62 inch/pounds (NOT foot/pounds) so be very careful. Once the tires/wheels are installed on the car, connect the TECH2 device to the OBDII port on the underside of the dash and then put the key in the ignition and turn it to "On”. You do not need to actually start the car.
Here’s a link that shows what to do:
And here’s a YouTube Video showing the TECH2 steps as well:
The steps are the following:
1. F0: Diagnostics
2. Select Model Year (Mine was 2002)
3. Select Vehicle Type = Passenger Car
4. F1: Body
5. Select Product Line = Y
6. Select Body Style = (1) Two-Door Coupe/Sedan
7. Select Transmission = Manual
8. Body = F5: Remote Function Actuation
9. F2: Special Functions
10. F0: Set Options
11. F0: Tire Pressure Monitor
12. Toggle the function "On” and then hit the "Save Options” and power off theTECH2 scanner.
Once that’s done, the next step is to put the DIC in the ‘Learn Tire” mode.
Here’s a YouTube link for that:
2. Press the "OPTIONS” button and cycle through the display until you get a blank screen on the DIC.
3. Press and hold the "RESET button until "FOB TRAINING” displays in the DIC.
4. Press the "OPTIONS” button once to display "TIRE TRAINING” in the DIC.
5. Press the "RESET” button to start the tire training. It should display "LEARN L FRONT TIRE” in the DIC.
6. This is the most important step.You will need to use a strong circular magnet and place it near the tire valve stem and then wait for the horn chirp.Next go in a clockwise manner to the Right Front sensor waiting again for the horn chirp and then the Right Rear and then finally the Left Rear.
7. Your TPMS sensors should now be programmed and available for viewing using the "GAGES” button.
Just an FYI, you MUST use a strong magnet for the tire learning phase. The normal tire learning devices at tire stores and dealershipsWILL NOT WORKwhen learning the sensors.
Hope that helps. This was really inexpensive to do but very useful. It’s great to know now you have the TPMS system active in Z06 so you can check the tires anytime while driving.

Add an OEM key to a 2020 Toyota RAV4 withAutel IM608successfully. Same procedure as RAV4 2022 (checkprevious post). Go control unit – keyless, then I can select backup immo data-back up through OBD, then add a key WITHOUT 3 lines data and pay for the code. If choose add a key directly, then the programmer will spit out those 3 lines data and ask for a code.
When backing up data, the dashboard will display engine has issues, steering wheel have issues,blah, blah,blah as the backup process going, quite nerve racking but once is finished, everything is fine.
You can if it is lost all keys, there is a choice of using apb112. But my case is to add a key.
After backup immo data, then select add key, then it will ask you if you backed up data or not, then select the file, then same old Toyota beep beep beep process.
Great job Autel.
