Thanks so much, really helpful!!!! I just purchased the 608 and I think I may be able to do some of these functions. Videos like this really helps others who have units to help navigate and operate! Your awesome!!!
I just came across this video...6 years later!? 😄 I can still say it is bang on an easy straight forward tutorial to follow and understand. Wish they had Cudo coins for ya. Would have been happy to throw some coin your way since You saved me $250 from going to the locksmith because my bros workplace has an mk906bt 😊👌
Thanks for posting this. Its essentially the same screens and timers that Techstream uses. I see when you were scrolling thru screens this even has BSM Master and Slave communications. I do quite a bit with those due to recalls and damaged vehicles from body shops. This MS906BT seems like a powerful tool.
Toyota Ron thank you. I do a lot of work on blind side systems , distance sensing cruise controls and park assist system. It will do everything techstream will . I have them both . I fell in love with the autel the day I got it. I was using oem systems and the lauch stuff before but it had a lot of quirks And seemed to freeze during diag quite often. For the price and what it can do the autel is unbeatable.
Toyota Camry 2017 has same g chip if I’m not mistaken and you can get this tool, the wired version, for 999$-1049$ right now. Really have considered the tool for this exact reason as well as those stupid tire pressure sensors and sooo much more.
Hi Jack , I like your video. Please continue making more videos of coding keys on different vehicle makes. I'm in South Africa and thinking of getting the MS 906BT. I've reached out to autel tech center,and support training academy on how they can help me purchase the tool. I watched a review video by Curtis Hardin, he cautioned against buying the tool from amazon or e bay, sighting support issues should one have trouble with their tool. let me know what you think on that. Thanks. Lee
Shop has the Matco maximum 3.0, launch x431 pro, and an old Autel. For my personal thought about this or the 808. What are your opinions on these? As far as keys, re-flashing or programming modules, live data and bidirectional capabilities on most makes and models?
Question will this work on Nissan rogue years 2013-2015 to program keys? And can this reprogram an ecu as well? Or would I need the maxiflash pro j2534. Any help appreciated thanks.
Hey man are most eeprom chips on cars only 8 pins? I have dodge ram 1500 2003 and nothing works in cluster. And i mean nothing. I check power grounds and com lines all good. Was wondering if i could rewrite eeprom on used one. I need to correct vin and mileage u have any suggestions can i mail to you if you have time? I never did buy an eeprom programmer, slacker.
Hi I was wondering if this tool can program pcms and air bag modules or do I need to get the elite pro or the im608 I want to be able to do tpms as well does this do all of that thanks
Jack Meyers ... Is there some way to register a new transponder Toyota dot key with the original Toyota key that the tool says is not the master key? I also have a 906BT and when it gets to the 1st part a message pops up that it's not a 'Master' key that I have. It is also a 'base' model with rollup windows and no power locks
So this Autel unit automatically pulls up the settings for the Toyotas and the "NATS" option for the Nissans? I'm learning a lot on your channel. I really admire your familiarity with this unit and expertise. Are you familiar with the "token system" on some key programmers? If so, does unit operate as such? Thank you for sharing and teaching. I love your channel so much I'm subscribing and going through it with a fine comb. You have a lot of valuable information.
Thank you! I have a lot more coming. Most of what I have up isn't nothing compared to what i have coming. I was just randomly throwing up videos in the past. Now i'm getting requests and good responses so i'm going to raise the bar on my videos and share as much info as I can with you guys. And yes the autel has pretty much all the settings the oem software will have for most manufacturers and most keys. I do have a token based system and honestly in rarely need to use it. Mostly for all keys lost on certain vehicles. I don't really post those videos because the average shop or person won't be buying a $6000 programmer. I like to show what you can do with your everyday scanner that most shops and serious mechanics have access to.
Your scanner shows 4 choices to begin with. One of them is "Programming" Do you know why this choice does not come up on the screen for Gm cars? I installed a new headlight switch on a Jaguar F type, and the programming choice was there just like in your video. I installed a new AC / Heater control on a 2009 Enclave, and I can't seem to find anything that will let me do that......any ideas?
I was a little disappointed my 906BT doesn't have the programming or coding functionality of other models, even some older models. Even so it does seem like a surprisingly useful tool.
Hi just bought the autel ms906 Im trying to program a key for a tundra. I did program the staring but when I try do program the locks it fails going crazy 😡
When I contact sellers, they tell me these autels won't program keys. Wtf, I'm trying to find one to use at work for hondas, so I don't have to wait my turn for the shop tools.
Jack Meyers thanks for the reply, I’ve been trying to buy a decent verus / verus pro for the past few weeks here in the UK but a few people keep mentioning the autel models. I was always put off with the horror stories about the ones from China (I realise they probably all come from there) but more trying to register for warranty and future software updates etc I’ve watched a few of your vids and I’m impressed with what this can do! The plan was to sell my vantage pro scope and upgrade to a verus so I have a combined scanner/scope in one. But I’m thinking about going down the autel route and a 2nd hand Pico?
GRUSS Newton my opinion . I would never but the snap on. I've been down that road. These scanners are my whole company .I make all my money programming and doing diagnostics . I assure you the stories about autel are all bogus. 5 years now with autel only for me. New one every year ( tax write off and I hate paying for a subscription renewal) and zero issues. I have no reason to lie. I made no money on these videos I make. I get 3 or 4 calls a week from shops with high dollar snap on and matco scanners needing something done that my autel will do. When they ask me how much I paid for it you can just see the disappointment on their faces. That's the honest truth.
Jack Meyers thanks again for the reply Which model do you recommend? There’s literally loads on eBay UK all claiming to be UK dealers etc. I hear what your saying with the subscription, I checked and it’s approx £500-700 and that’s going through aeswave which as you know is American. Are they any good with other European models such as Renault, Fiat, Peugeot etc I get loads of garages asking to programme keys etc but I’ve never had the kit I can source one from an official dealer via autelUK but obviously the unit would be a lot more expensive than the ‘grey import’ eBay one Thanks for the advice

Hey, Jack i need to program new keys to 2004 toyota avalon, all keys lost i have an autel 906ts and pass thru pro 3 can i do it, i would be willing to send money to your pay pal for advice, from what i understand this is a year that sux and reqires you to replace immoblizer, if thats the case can we go used? I actually just found a DIY hack to rewrite the eeprom, if you think thats best way to go any advice on which reader and program to use.
If I'm not mistaken and it's been a while since I've done one but some of the earlier Lexus vehicles have an immobilizer that can not be accessed through the obd2 port with any scanner. You can add keys by doing the simple procedure if you lose all keys there's a special tool needed other then a scanner.
I have the ms906ts and for the life of me can't get it to program keys on a lexus. tried two different lexus es350 2014, got brand new keys from lexus dealer, have one key that works but it just won't work. tool is updated. use classic key registration and it pukes out after the first step all on it's own. the key registration (not classic) pukes as soon as it you click start. when I say puke I mean it just quits and goes back to the beginning on the wizard.
Stefan not necessarily. Depends on your state . You really just need a business license. Here In California you need to be licensed by your city , registered through the b.a.r. and carry liability insurance. I don't believe it is mandatory to be licensed through the nastf but it does help to be when it comes to aquiring pin and cut codes through the vehicle manufacturers.
Thank you for clarification. I have been looking for a scan tool and still am undecided. Can Autel pull SRS codes and do srs module coding on a 2011 Mazda CX-9?
Stefan the autel can get into any module on any car to pull codes, clear codes , and live data. It can program most mazda modules as well. I've been doing this a long time and it's the best all around tool anywhere close to its price range I guarantee that. I've tried them all. All the way back to the mt2500 and otc genesys.
Jack, I believe so too. I am asking because I am seeing fragmentation of information in scan tool manufacturers. For example, some functions are left out in Foxwell 510 scanner. Throttle relearn being missing. On the other hand, Autel is not confirming on their page if it can read SRS codes on a 2011 Mazda CX-9. Perhaps this is the very reason why some mechanics, here on youtube, end up having 4+ scanners in their toolbox. All in all I agree Autel is the better one out there.
Stefan all I can do it's tell you why I know. I know 100 percent without a doubt it will read the cx9 . I just confirmed it in the function viewer on my tool. I can semd you a picture of my scanner. I bought the 906bt and had the mini and 708 prior . But on my bt it keeps a record of every car I've ever done. To date I have scanned 1367 vehicles with the 906bt since last July and have found zero vehicles that have modules I can't connect with. Put it this way I make my money scanning, programming and diagnosing cars every day and only use the autel. Honestly I've been there and the reason mechanics have multiple tools in their box is because every manufacturer promisses but doesn't the best scan tool so you end up buying another and another. That is why I started the autel videos. I finally found the answer I was looking for. It does a large majority of keys, can read any module in every car and codes european . What more could I ask for. I was using a launch system then got convinced to buy a maxximus 2.0 from a tool truck for $3600 with all the upgrades and that's the one I regretted most. There is a guy on youtube that rebuild transmissions like I did when I had my shop and I watched all his videos. He has about 500k subscribers and when he would reset adaptives or run tests he always used the autel. He actually bragged a little about it on a video so I looked into it. I saw it was 1/4 price of the maxximus i had just bought so I said screw it and ordered one. Within a month I sold the maxximus and my launch and never looked back nor have I needed to. I was so impressed with the mini I started making videos because I just wanted to let other techs know that you don't have to pay 4 or 5 thousand dollars to do what we need to do. The special functions are amazing. The graphing is the fastest ive ever used. It links with identifix, all data , Mitchell and others. It's tough as hell. I drop it probably once a week. I know I sound like an autel salesman . I just think I stumbled on the perfect scanner and hopefully help someone from making the mistakes I made thinking the name made the tool great.
I don't think the tool is facilitating the programming process so saying it can program keys wouldn't be 100% accurate. From what I saw, the tool just guides you through the procedure. Have you tried performing the exact same process described in the instructions with the scan tool disconnected from the car? If so, what was the result?
If you owned a Pontiac Torrent, you would happily buy any tool that would keep the POS running. If it wasn't financed, it would be in the scrap yard...but this tool keeps it going after repeated electronic failures weekly. Just saying.....
Hi. There I had a maxisys pro. Did alot of key programming. Wanted to know of all the maxisys basic model that run from 500 to 1000 dollars have the same key programing features capabilities?? Thanks in advance
No.. your best bet is the 906bt , 906ts or the 905mini. All 3 of those will do what the pro does. The regular 906 will not. I think the 906bt is around $1200 .the 906ts is around $1400 and i think you can still get the ms905 mini for around $1050. Just be careful because the plain 906 without the vci will not do very many keys. It will do gm passlock and i think ford pats 1 but not much more.
Hi jack I’ve got a 07’ dodge nitro and don’t have a key that works. Dodge dealership will not give me the pin Code at all. Will this autel pull the pin code from the immobilizer?
No it will not. Chrysler requires a special tool for retrieving the pin and its expensive . I'm pretty sure if you are the registered owner they have to give you the pin number.
