Autel MaxiIM KM100 Universal Key Generator Kit -- Professional Immobilizer and Key Programming for Locksmiths and VSPs
The Autel MaxiIM KM100 is a dedicated key programming and immobilizer tablet built for professional locksmiths and NASTF-registered Vehicle Security Professionals (VSPs). It programs Autel IKEY universal smart keys as replacements on 700+ vehicle applications, performs IMMO key learning on 99% of vehicles for the top 100 best-selling models in North America, handles all four core brands with specific IMMO programming support -- BMW, Volkswagen, Honda, and GM -- and covers the full spectrum of transponder functions including read, write, clone, generate, and edit. Two blank programmable IKEY universal smart keys are included in the box so you can start on paid jobs the same day it arrives.
Autel built the KM100 around a dedicated vehicle security workflow rather than trying to wedge key programming into a general diagnostics platform. The result is a focused tool with a clear interface and concise on-screen instructions that walk a technician through each procedure step by step. It runs Android 9.0 on a 5.5-inch touchscreen, communicates via the included MaxiVCI V200 Bluetooth VCI, and receives lifetime free software updates over Wi-Fi as Autel adds new vehicle coverage and programming capabilities.
This listing covers both the AUL-KM100 and KM100 SKUs -- they are the same MaxiIM KM100 unit sourced from different distributors. Either SKU ships the identical hardware and software package.
Who This Tool Is For -- Professional Locksmiths and NASTF-Registered VSPs
The KM100 is not a consumer product. NASTF (National Automotive Service Task Force) requires locksmiths and shop technicians to register as Vehicle Security Professionals before accessing certain key programming procedures and vehicle security data. If you're a professional locksmith, automotive security specialist, or a shop tech with VSP credentials who handles key replacement and immobilizer service, the KM100 is purpose-built for your workflow. If you're unsure whether you qualify for VSP registration, visit nastf.org for the requirements before purchasing.
The tool handles the jobs that end up stranded at the dealership when a general scan tool can't help: lost all keys situations, failed immobilizer modules, smart key replacements, and transponder cloning for key duplication. With 700+ IKEY smart key applications and IMMO coverage for the top 100 selling models in North America, the KM100 addresses the majority of the key programming calls that come through a professional locksmith's shop.
IKEY Smart Key Programming -- 700+ Vehicle Applications via OBD
Autel's IKEY is a universal programmable smart key -- a single blank unit that can be configured to replace the factory smart key for a specific vehicle. The KM100 programs IKEYs via OBD in approximately one minute per key on supported vehicles. Two blank IKEY universal smart keys are included with every KM100 kit so you have inventory ready to go from day one.
- 700+ Vehicle Applications: The IKEY database covers 700+ vehicle applications across domestic, Asian, and European makes. Autel continues to expand coverage with software updates pushed to the tool over Wi-Fi.
- One-Minute Key Generation via OBD: On supported vehicles, the entire process from connecting the MaxiVCI V200 to a programmed, working key takes approximately one minute. That's not a marketing number -- it's the OBD communication time for the IMMO programming handshake on these vehicles.
- Two Free Blank IKEYs Included: Each KM100 kit ships with two Autel IKEY universal smart key blanks. These are the same blanks you'd purchase separately for subsequent jobs -- they're included here as a kit bonus, not sample units.
- Broad Compatibility: IKEY programming covers popular models including Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and dozens more across the supported application list.
IMMO Key Learning -- 99% Vehicle Coverage for Top 100 North American Models
IMMO (immobilizer) key learning is the process of pairing a new transponder or smart key to a vehicle's immobilizer system so the engine will start. The KM100 covers this procedure for 99% of vehicles in the top 100 best-selling models in North America -- the bread-and-butter vehicles that make up the majority of a locksmith's call volume. All IMMO procedures run via OBD through the MaxiVCI V200 without proprietary adapter cables for covered vehicles.
- Ford/Lincoln/Mercury: IMMO key learning across multiple Ford platforms including PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) generations. Covers popular Ford F-150, Explorer, Edge, Escape, and Mustang applications.
- Toyota/Lexus/Scion: Key learning for Toyota's immobilizer systems across Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, Tacoma, Tundra, and Lexus RX/ES applications.
- GM -- Specific IMMO Programming: Dedicated GM IMMO programming for Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac -- covers PassLock, VATS, and later BCM-based immobilizer architectures.
- BMW -- Specific IMMO Programming: BMW IMMO support including EWS2, EWS3, EWS4, and CAS module key learning. Covers the 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X3, X5, and Mini applications within supported year ranges.
- Volkswagen/Audi -- Specific IMMO Programming: VW and Audi IMMO key learning including IMMO 2, IMMO 3, IMMO 4, and IMMO 5 protocols. Covers Golf, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, Audi A3, A4, A6, and Q5 within covered year ranges.
- Honda/Acura -- Specific IMMO Programming: Honda immobilizer key learning for Accord, Civic, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey, and Acura TL, MDX, and RDX on applicable model years.
- Nissan/Infiniti, Hyundai/Kia, Subaru: IMMO key learning across the remaining top-selling brands including Nissan Rogue, Sentra, Altima, Infiniti QX60, Hyundai Elantra, Tucson, Kia Sportage, Sorento, and Subaru Outback, Forester within supported years.
Transponder Functions -- Read, Write, Clone, Generate, Edit, Simulate
The KM100 handles the complete set of transponder operations that a professional locksmith needs for key cutting and duplication work. Whether you're cloning a working key, generating a transponder from protocol data, or editing transponder chip content directly, the KM100's transponder module covers all of it. It supports 20 transponder protocols spanning the major chip families in automotive use.
- Transponder Read: Reads the transponder chip data from an existing key -- chip type, ID, frequency, and stored data. Works with the built-in transponder reader coil on the KM100 unit.
- Transponder Write: Writes transponder data to a blank or compatible chip. Used in key duplication where you're programming a new key to match an existing working key's transponder data.
- Transponder Clone: Copies a transponder chip from a source key to a target blank in a single operation. The clone key is an exact duplicate that starts the vehicle the same as the original.
- Transponder Generation: Generates transponder programming data for a new key based on the vehicle's IMMO system data -- used when programming a key without an existing working key to copy from.
- Simulation: Simulates a transponder signal to test an immobilizer system's response without a physical key present -- useful for diagnosing IMMO faults before committing to a programming procedure.
- Transponder Editing: Directly edits transponder chip data across 20 supported protocols, including ID46, ID48, and PCF series chips common in European and Asian vehicles.
- Frequency Detection: Identifies the RF frequency of a key fob (315 MHz vs 433 MHz vs others) for remote programming and replacement verification.
- Button Adjustment: Configures the number of buttons and button assignments on a replacement key fob during programming.
- Key Unlocking: Unlocks certain transponder chips that have been locked (typically EEPROM-based security chips) to allow reprogramming or cloning.
- Universal Key Info Detection: Reads and displays full key information from an unknown or unidentified key -- useful for identifying the chip type before selecting a programming procedure.
- Write Serial Number: Writes a serial number to a compatible transponder chip during programming -- required by certain OEM IMMO systems that validate key serial numbers.
- Ignition Coil Detection: Tests the antenna coil in the ignition lock cylinder to verify the transponder communication loop is functional -- rules out a faulty coil as the cause of IMMO no-start conditions.
- Chip Read and Write: Direct chip-level read and write operations for supported EEPROM and flash-based transponder chips -- 20 supported protocols covering the major chip families.
Vehicle Identification -- AutoVin for Fast Job Setup
The KM100 uses AutoVin to pull the vehicle's VIN automatically from the ECU via the MaxiVCI V200 OBD connection. Enter the shop, connect, and the tool identifies the vehicle without manual entry. For key programming work where getting the exact vehicle configuration right matters -- wrong year, wrong trim, wrong IMMO protocol version -- AutoVin eliminates the manual lookup step and the errors that come with it.
- AutoVin via OBD: Reads VIN directly from the vehicle's ECU through the MaxiVCI V200 Bluetooth VCI connection -- instant, accurate vehicle identification.
- Manual VIN Entry: Backup option for vehicles with non-standard OBD communication or modules that don't broadcast VIN data.
- Vehicle Profile Selection: After VIN decode, the KM100 loads the correct IMMO procedures, transponder protocols, and key programming workflows for that specific vehicle -- no guesswork about which procedure applies.
Hardware -- Dedicated Key Programming Tablet With Bluetooth VCI
The KM100 runs on a purpose-built Android 9.0 tablet with a Rockchip PX30 quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM, and 64 GB storage. The 8MP camera handles any scanning or documentation needs, and Bluetooth 5.0 provides a fast, reliable connection to the MaxiVCI V200 OBD interface. At 352.7 g, it's light enough to carry to the vehicle rather than leaving it on a cart. The 4950 mAh battery handles a full service day between charges.

Software -- Simple UI, Concise Instructions, Lifetime Free Updates
Autel's Android-based interface on the KM100 is straightforward -- vehicle selection, procedure selection, step-by-step on-screen instructions. The instructions are written for technicians, not engineers: each step tells you what to do, what to connect, and what to confirm before moving to the next step. Lifetime free software updates arrive over Wi-Fi and expand vehicle coverage, add new IKEY applications, and update transponder protocol libraries as Autel certifies new procedures. You're not buying a snapshot of coverage -- you're buying a tool that continues to grow.
