Aviso importante de compatibilidade:

The KM100X is primarily designed for most European vehicles due to regional and manufacturer restrictions. For specific IMMO functions on European cars (e.g., Renault, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, VW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche, Volvo, PSA), the KM100X may not support "All Keys Lost" functions and may require disassembly for key programming. For these vehicles, IM508S / IM608 Pro tools are recommended. Before purchase, it is advised to contact Autel support with your vehicle's VIN to verify full compatibility. For Asian and American vehicles (e.g., Ford, GM, Toyota, Lexus), the KM100X supports adding new keys, and for some, "All Keys Lost" functions.
