The reason why I can't recomment is as a first tool is that it's not user friendly like Autel. Often, you have to try multiple menu options to get a job done.
@markmccormickkeys Outside of user friendly is the functionality good enough. Used to work with keys several years ago. Hitag and manual stuff. This tool seems to have a lot of add-ons to make all jobs possible maybe not in the easiest way. I don't have good trust for autel.l recently. I have an something808bt. When I purchased it the support was identical to a much higher tool. With 2 years free update and ably about 9 months along they removed many of the service functions I purchased the scanner for and I need to buy a higher model of scanner to access them.
It’s locksmith friendly and you should get it as your first programmer. Get this and a blue im508/608 and you should be good for so many things. Trust me.
that device is very responsive , very quick , nice tool
I agree. Battery life/management is very good as well.
How is its ability compared to IM508? Is it better than the Xhorse minI OBD tool?
Buy them all. I did and I wouldn't get rid of any of them.
Is this a good programmer a first tool? Or do you recommend something else?

Get this VAG version of this tool and you will do many many many bmw, Volkswagen, Audi, and all basic normal cars. Newer GM 2020+ cars as well.
Thanks for all the responses. Appears it's improved a lot over the last two years. I can only expect further improvement.
Thanks all
What's easier? The pad x horse key two plus or the 508
508 has add key guided. That would be my recommendation for the easiest.
On the boards all keys lost. You need two program or two to add a key at least one to add a key just a question
Many times there is a two key minimum. I'm not sure on this one.
@@markmccormickkeys thx
Can always carry a super chip or multi product prox key that you can erase after.
@@FixItLife true
All keys lost or adding
This one was add key. All keys lost is similar unless the alarm is active.
