X300 Pro4 is an all-purpose immobiliser programming device meticulously designed by OBDSTAR for locksmith. The device inherits the automobile immobiliser programming technology from OBDSTAR with a lot of advantages of early start, wide model coverage, fast programming speed and special features All-in-one machine structure, more convenient to use full optimization hardware, running more stable, faster and smoother.
XTOOL X100 PAD3 which is called X100 PAD Elite too, is a professional tablet key programmer which not only provides customers with key programming, but also supplies advanced special functions including Key programming, oil service light reset, timing belt service light reset, tire pressure warning light reset, EPB reset, throttle body reset, DPF reset, battery reset, steering angle calibration and OBD-II engine diagnosis, etc
Generally they are similar in price, less than $ 1,000, and they can do the key programming for 80-85% cheap cars. (Not good for Benz, BMW …) You may need it after you’ve done initial programming with wie Kess for a while and customers start asking about key programming for you. The Xtool has 2 years of free updates, while OBDSTAR is one year long. The Xtool has more diagnostic functions and there is a much more powerful auto diagnostic menu.
For others they are similar, EEPROM, IMMO… menus are separate on PRO4.
RU cars
Can you program Renault Lada Vesta? These platforms are based on continental blocks. The two scanners generally read them out for diagnosis, but Xtool PAD3 sometimes cannot make my Lada if I have lost all the keys, although it does them when I add them. X300 PRO4 never has this problem. It can read FLASH and add keys, but there are times when it cannot be read if all the keys are lost.
US cars
I have a 2006 Grand Cherokee but I couldn’t read it on PRO4 and the pin code is problematic. I’ve made more than ten Cherokee and I’ve never had any questions about them.
Toyota smart key
Both good, even Camry 2021 rightly adds. They all have simulators for all lost keys, read out data and write them into the simulator and the car comes up. But for Aqua 2014 the Xtool reads EEPROM without any problems, but I couldn’t write down the PH94 type.
Benz
When you have to do Mercedes-Benz the Xtool doesn’t know how to do it completely, but it can add keys for young Benz if you can get a KC501 key programmer. Xtool goes even further and adds more professional cars. I can’t smell that on this OBDSTAR.
Summary
Better to take another device because it is more professional, Xhorse, MB-Tools … If I had the PRO4 I would never learn BMW and Mercedes and never completely reset keys to Toyota smart keys. Of course, this Xtool has even more advantages, because the diagnosis is strong, 2 years guarantee, 2 years free updates. If you’re looking to build a Mercedes or BMW on a budget, you can still consider Xtool.
