Lonsdor K518 Pro Program 2022 Toyota Tundra via XM38 Key

We recently worked on a 2022 Toyota Tundra, adding a smart key to the vehicle using theLonsdor K518 Proand anXhorse XM38 Universal Key. This process is a great example of how modern key programming tools can provide efficient solutions, even when the original key is unavailable.

The Challenge

The customer’s original smart key had been damaged after going through the washing machine. While a replacement key was on order, we decided to create a backup key using theXhorse XM38 Universal Key. This universal key is a versatile solution for situations where the original key is not immediately available.

 

Tools Used

• Lonsdor K518 Pro: A powerful key programming tool.
• Toyota 30-pin Cable: Specifically designed for Toyota vehicles.
• Xhorse XM38 Universal Key: A universal smart key that can be programmed for various vehicles.
• VVDI Mini key tool: Used to generate the correct key data.

 

Step-by-Step Process

Accessing the Smart Box

1. The first step was to access the vehicle’s smart box. The 2022 Toyota Tundra has a small panel that can be easily snapped off by hand. Inside, there are three connectors, with the smart box located in the middle. The top plug is the one we needed to connect to theLonsdor K518 Prousing theToyota 30-pin cable.

 

 

Reading and Saving the Data

1. After connecting the Lonsdor K518 Pro to the vehicle’s OBD port, we read the vehicle’s data and saved it as a backup file. This file was named using the last four digits of the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) for easy reference. This step ensures that we don’t need to rely on third-party services for rolling codes or other data.

Adding a New Smart Key

1. With the data backed up, we proceeded to add a new smart key. Since the customer already had one working key, we didn’t need to perform an "all keys lost” procedure. Instead, we used theLonsdor K518 Proto add the new key to the system. The process involved:
   • Loading the D-flash data to acquire a 12-digit PIN code.
   • Placing the original key near the ignition to get one beep.
   • Placing the new key near the ignition to get two beeps.
2. Successful Key Addition
   After a quick processing period, the new key was successfully added to the vehicle’s system. The 2022 Toyota Tundra can store up to five keys, and now the customer has three keys programmed: the original, the Xhorse XM38 Universal Key, and the replacement key that will be installed later.

Why Use a Universal Key?

TheXhorse XM38 Universal Keyis an excellent temporary solution, especially when the original key is unavailable. In this case, the customer was interested in keeping the universal key, but we recommended waiting for the original-style key to arrive. The universal key ensures that the customer isn’t left stranded, especially since they work in emergency rescue and need reliable access to their vehicle.

Will Autel Program 2019+ Nissan Juke F16 Smart Key

What tool to program 2019+ Nissan Juke F16 Key?

 

Proximity key:

If it is a push-to-start smart key,no problem using theBCM 40 adapter cableandAutel im508/im608.

You can’t program Juke 2023 by OBD you need direct connection on the BCM.

All Nissan models after 2021 need dealer access or direct connection on the BCM.

 

If connect 40 pin BCM cable, Autel still asks for pin code, useAPB131to read dump from HFM and pull pin from dump.

Similar procedure as Sentra B18.

Program Nissan Sentra 2021 All Keys Lost with Autel IM608 and APB131

Blade key:

If it is an ignition blade key,it is a no-go and asks for a PIN after generating an initial code.

For example: 2023 Juke F16 can’t program key, with the BCM 40 pin cable adapter connected, it still asks for a rolling code:

Smart key work fine but blade key we have problem with.

Stay away from 1.5d manual key with label in the glovebox if you don’t have proper tool.

Autel/Launch/OBDSTAR/Lonsdor will kill it via OBD (immo with label on the glove box).

 

 

Solution:

1. You get the pin code by third parties and it Enter to continue. There is a guide on facebook Ameer Hasan who provides this pin code.

 

2. If want to get the pin code with data saved by Autel, you will need to read pin from dump HFM using theAPB131 adapter.

Autel IM508 BMW CAS3 ISTA OBD Downgrade Failed Solution

Problem:

I’m working on a 2013 bmw x1 withAutel IM508.
A locksmith attempted all keys lost and bricked the CAS3 ista version.
Locksmith says it required downgrade, it failed during that process.
There’s no original eeprom or flash data.
The locksmith failed to read the CAS files and save them.

How to repair the cas3 module?

 

 

Solution:

If you downgrade by OBD, it fails to reflash it properly.

If it bricked during obd update, you should be able to recover it with bench read data.

Bench read flash and eeprom, run repair on files, write new files to CAS on bench and reinstall to car, if it’s all keys lost read isn from dme/dde, make key from files you’ve already got and you’re done.
You need to make sure you get a clean read from original case.

I damaged the board on original cas, got a read on bench, repaired the files and put them on new/used cas and all worked perfectly afterwards.
