Hello, are you using the canfd adapter in the d8 or the its build in the machine couse in the video i dont see that youre using one so im curios if its needed thanks for answer.
@@markmccormickkeys I’m in the process of deciding what key tool to buy. We mainly do Asian cars. And just looking to add keys. Don’t want to buy multiple tools as of yet. Already gave way too much invested on the diag side of the business 😬
Hi, so I have an xtool d8 and I was wondering if it’s the same process on adding key on 2023 GMC Sierra, I believe it’s the new system coz it’s almost same key fob as this one. Do you think I won’t have any problem? Thankx
Obdstar or xtool d8 for gm or chevy 2021? Which one would you suggest for pin free add key? I have im608 and topdon but none donit without pin. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. The D9 has all this tool does? And does the JVCI (white) device that comes with some D9’s worth the price? Is that the J2534 pass thru?
I had a Autopropad G2 Turbo that had that same white VCI device. I was unable to use it as a J-box with any factory scan tool software. I'm not sure if it's possible.
Actually it's the other way around for me on my d8, 2000 and under is glitchy only for diagnostic side of things, the key programming side works awesome. Now for 2000 and up for the diagnostic side of things it was a hit or miss but as of lately the software seems to have mature and they worked out a lot of the problems.
I have to try it more often. I used it on a few older Chevrolet models the same day I made this video and it worked great. Not great on new Toyotas but I haven't bought the Anytoyo piece yet.
Ignition won't turn on until the key is successfully programmed in my experience. D8 has you turn on hazards plus open and close the driver's door every 10 seconds while programming. Did you do that?
@@MikeBrown-hd3bt hi well I am a professional locksmith and I had problems with different programmers I like to see what it would be the best for my money
Hello trying to program a key to a 2023 Tahoe all key lost but having trouble with it I bought this machine thinking it would be good for this job but nothing it says failed to comunícate
Do you think I should put a disclaimer on my channel? I never guaranteed that if you buy the tool, you can do the job. What tool did you buy? I'll try to help if I can. If you want, I'll buy the tool from you if you don't like it and feature it in one of my upcoming videos. Let me know, thanks for watching.
Your videos are very helpful I plan on keeping the machine because it does add keys I need this machine for the newer models that the smart pro can’t get but yea if you could make a video for a all key lost Tahoe 2023 would be much appreciated I want to know if this is happening only to me or what😅
@@markmccormickkeys so the only way to get one programmed is go to the dealership? Does anyone know if the dealership will program a key that I bought offline or do they want you to buy the key from them?
I have attempted to program both a 23 suburban and 23 Silverado with the D8 using the free pin. Not a single time has this worked. Keep getting an message about an unstable server, or something similar. Is this truly a server issue or have i wasted money on the D8?
If you bought the D8 only for these cars, you may have wasted your money. The server could come back tomorrow. The server may not ever come back. The D8 can do many other cars as well.
I have a Autel im608 pro 2 & im508 & can do these but I heard some guys just recently started using their j2534 with canfd+sps to do them but idk why Autel is falling behind they keep telling me their waiting on paperwork to get signed blah blah

I have Xtool pad3, didn't do it, and i emailed Xtool. they told me to pay them $20 to do it. Do you have any idea about $20 i have to pay Xtool to do that job? Thanks in advance.
Hello, are you using the canfd adapter in the d8 or the its build in the machine couse in the video i dont see that youre using one so im curios if its needed thanks for answer.
It's built in to the D8. If you have a D7, it's necessary.
ok ok interesting,
@@markmccormickkeys
How would you compare this to autel Km100? Not concerned with the diagnostic side of the tool. Just key adding mainly.
Difficult question... I mostly use this on these new G.M. models. I'll have to use it more and report back.

I have the xtool IP616 and had trouble programming a key fob to a 2014 Silverado, any tips or pointers?
When did it fail?

Do you think I won’t have any problem? Thankx
Yes. The server is down. SPS is the only way not.
@@markmccormickkeys Is it down for good or will it come back? Where can I get more information on this server?
Obdstar or xtool d8 for gm or chevy 2021? Which one would you suggest for pin free add key? I have im608 and topdon but none donit without pin. Thank you.
I have both because they both rely on servers to get the job done. If one is down, I can use the other one.
@@markmccormickkeys thank you for the reply.
I try doing a 21 silverado without digital dash and could not communicate. Any thoughts? Or did i do something wrong?
2021 Silverado should be the old system. Did you auto vin or enter manually? Sometimes entering manually will get better results.
DO YOU KNOW IF IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IF THE FACTORY ALARM IS ACTIVE???
I don't think so.
Thank you for this video. The D9 has all this tool does? And does the JVCI (white) device that comes with some D9’s worth the price? Is that the J2534 pass thru?

How do you find xtool to work on newer cars. Heard alot of ppl saying their software is glitchy etc
Actually it's the other way around for me on my d8, 2000 and under is glitchy only for diagnostic side of things, the key programming side works awesome.

Do you know if the d8 can do all keys lost on a 23’ Escalade ?
Unfortunately no. The only way to program any keys to these cars is using GM software. The aftermarket tools are letting us down on these cars/trucks.
Do you know if this d8 can do 2021 Cadillac ct5 all keys lost? If not any other tool capable - ignition wouldn’t turn on
I've done all keys lost on this platform with the D8. Not a CT5 yet but it should work no problem.
@@markmccormickkeys yeah tried it with im608 pro and Xtool d8 and smart pro none could do it- ignition wouldn’t turn on no matter what you do
Ignition won't turn on until the key is successfully programmed in my experience. D8 has you turn on hazards plus open and close the driver's door every 10 seconds while programming. Did you do that?
@@markmccormickkeys yeah kept opening and closing doors for so long nothing happened
@@markmccormickkeys hazard on from the beginning d8 says wait until prompts show on cluster but nothing changed
Good video. Now what do you think about the autopropad g2? Is it a good one or just not worth it?
you dont need to spend the amount of money for the g2 unless your doing this all the time, u can get by with a propad well, or a autel 508
@@MikeBrown-hd3bt hi well I am a professional locksmith and I had problems with different programmers I like to see what it would be the best for my money
Do what I did, buy them all.
Any news on when they will be back up and running?
Some say never. This is the issue with Chinese tools, there's no communication at all with the manufacturer.
Is there a way to disable the missing key? Are the servers back up for the D8? Can it still program these new generation Chevy keys?
The servers are down. Yes there's a way.
So the d8 isn’t coding late model Chevy keys any more?
Nope.
Are the servers back up? Merry Christmas!

Can you post a link for the D8 i have a autel im608pro2 failed can fd is down do i need a new machine for these new style gm remotes
GM shut down all the tools. When I made this video it worked. It no longer works. You need factory scan tool software

Not anymore.
I wanted to ask that why autel is not compatible to get free Pin?
GM is shutting everyone down.
It will also say unsuported if you dont update scanner
Thanks.
Do you know another way to do new cheverolet it look like system is down is that right?
SPS is the only way right now.

GM factory scan tool software.

The service that was promoted doesn't work anymore. I hope they get it back soon.
@@markmccormickkeysThank you for sharing your knowledge.
I keep getting failed to connect would you know why?
Yes. Unfortunately, the servers are down and may not come back. Xtool was doing these illegally and G.M. shut them down.
When you say pen free, what do you mean by that?
No 3rd party data required. Autel can't do these.
@@markmccormickkeyscan smart pro do them pin free

Right now? Newer Nissan Rogue/Sentra (2021+)! It's still a very expensive tool that is difficult to justify the cost plus the subscription.
