Good luck getting the A30M to do any updates, And now my D7 is doing the same thing They both say internet anomaly when trying to update and I've tried updating them on friends routers and it says the same thing after trying it just stops downloading updates. The d7 is only 2 years old with 3years of free updates
@@johnmitchell8925 That's weird. I have been updating it with no problems. On the updates setting I think it is, it tells you when you started and when your updates end. 3 years as far as I know. Maybe they're having issues. Haven't tried updating it the last couple of days myself. Also try updating it late at night since there's a time difference.
I think Xtool is guilty of false advertising. I too bought an X7. One of the main reasons was to program keys. They should have fine print that says "this device doesn't program most keys". Word to the wise.
So what was the end result? Is the pin code something that the D7 tool cant read from another key or the car? Hence why some keys have to be taken to a locksmith or the dealer?
It's the car. VW doesn't or at least it wasn't reading the pin. Last time I tried again I still wasn't able to program the key. I haven't tried it again since I have been fixing other things. It could be the key but it is the right key so I'll try again another time. I only had the issue with the VW so other cars may not have this problem.
Mea culpa. I don't usually post things like that, but I just got a D7 and was looking for good videos on how to use it. In my opinion, if one is going to post a video on how to use an item, one should be familiar with it. I don't want to watch a video about someone learning about it. I can do that on my own. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Seriously.@@myshots101
My xtool isn't connecting to my car , it works for diagnosis problems but when I go key programming it doesn't work.... it says failed to connect how do I fix it
First make sure to update the scanner. This scanner gets updates very often and are pretty fast. Then try it after that. Also make sure your car is supported. Contact them with your vin to make sure it is supported.
I talked to the manufacturer, this tool is basically a scan tool not a key tool, they put very little amount of key capacity in this tool(I guess mainly from the marketing point of view); they just want us buy more expensive and more key-oriented tools from them
It does work for some, but probably not too many as you mentioned. I can't program a key for my 2007 vw for the life of me and believe me I have tried all the options they have on there. It did work on a 2012 mazda 3.
i digged into this brand a little bit, seems like for their key tools, you need to have a adaptor for VW, mercedes, bmw and audi, search kc501@@myshots101
I tried to program a kia key fob and it does program the key fob but when i go to program another one no go It says success but the only one that works is the last one that was programmed. very wierd anyone else come across this
I eventually got it working on a Mazda 3 2012, but not on the vw rabbit. I don't have a D8 so I really don't know. I think it's a hit and miss with the key programming. They may work for some and not others.
@myshots101 my 2011 vw rabbit is also having the same issues programming the key. It programed the key fob just fine. Unfortunately xtools might have to step in for this and see if they can work their magic.
On the main screen, dont click "auto scan" instead click "specail functions" and try from that menu.
that's what I was going to say
I love this tool. You have to start from the beginning and it will give you an option to get the 6 digit security code to be able to go further
I can read the code but it still won't program the key for a 07 VW rabbit.
Some keys need the eeprom adapter to program the keys. I’m looking into the x7 to program a key for my 03 Honda accord due to losing the original

It should read the pin code off your key that works. And it will use that flash data to program the other keys

It’s doesn’t have it in the description it’s clearly says that

Some people should just not try to do things they don't have a clue about. If they do, they shouldn't put it on You Tube.
It's called learning. Some of us don't know it all.

you have to read the pin code for the key before you start programing bro
that tool is working perfect
@@audley400 This wasn't working when I did the video. Reading the pin from a VW just didn't work when I got the scanner.
Man, you could get the PIN code by clicking "Read Security Code" button next to the programming button. @@myshots101

I have programmed keys for honda, toyota, ford, mercedes, etc with this xtool d7
Good to know. Thanks. I was able to program the Mazda 3 key but not the vw rabbit.
Facts same here
What about dodge challengers
@@Squeez0_100 haven't tried it yet
@@Squeez0_100 call the customer service number to find out
Did u read the security code?
@@Kingmaine122 Yes, it still doesn't work.
I lost my 2019 dodge challenger can this reset my key fob
@@Squeez0_100 I just checked the scanner and it only goes up to 2017 on the Dodge Challenger. So my guess is no.
Please give us a update on this problem
You can't program keys on VW without additional accessories.
I tried to program a kia key fob and it does program the key fob but when i go to program another one no go It says success but the only one that works is the last one that was programmed. very wierd anyone else come across this
Same with my 07 Volkswagen rabbit. This scanner can't do it. I have tried everything on it and no luck.
Lool u have to go to *read pin code* then write it down. That's the code for the keys u out in Jesus Christ loool. Hope this helps u.
THESE ARE LOW COST SCAN TOOLS, THEY WORK GOOD FOR WHAT THEY ARE. DEALER SCAN TOOLS CAN COST 5 TO 10 GRAND, SO THESE DO A GOOD JOB FOR THEIR COST.
Dealer PIN code required
Hi read the pin code security code you had your finger next to it
Already tried that, it didn't work.
@@myshots101 please give us a update on this
an Xtool d7 would program asian cars most of the times.
How about xtool D8S ?
I eventually got it working on a Mazda 3 2012, but not on the vw rabbit. I don't have a D8 so I really don't know. I think it's a hit and miss with the key programming. They may work for some and not others.
