K518 Software update: New Function for AKL of Toyota/Lexus by OBD data back-up

Good news!!! Lonsdor updated the latest software, and the Toyota AKL Online Calculation software license added the OBD function!!!

What does this mean? It means that customers who purchase this software can use this function for free!!

But if you have Lonsdor ADP 8A/4A adapter, you don't need to buy this software license, their functions are the same.

The difference between them:

1. ADP 8A/4A adapter is hardware, and Toyota AKL online calculation is software.

2. Different ways to do Toyota All Key Lost

For K518 + ADP, the smart box needs to be removed, which takes a lot of time and work.

For K518 + Toyota AKL Software, no need to remove the smart box, saving effort and time.

3. Expiration date

ADP can be used for life after purchase (provided the product is not damaged).

Toyota AKL software package is only valid for one year after activation, if you want to continue using it in the second year, you need to reactivate it.

Methods of Toyota/Lexus smart key and Ordinary Key programming with k518ise/k518s

This post is about how to use Lonsdor k518ise/k518s to program the smart key and Ordinary Key for Toyota/Lexus.

1. Smart Key (not support refitted vehicles):
For vehicles launched before 2007, dismantle smart box and write a key that can start the vehicle.
For vehicles launched after 2007, need an original key/an old key to add a new key. If all keys are lost, try to backup EEPROM in the menu first. Need to dismantle smart box and read Chip 93C86 data with a programmer if you fail to backup EEPROM data via OBD. Not support data of other chips except 93C86.

2. Ordinary Key:
For Chip 8A/H (for example Ralink), need a master key to add a new key. Need to change an immo box if all keys are lost.
For Chip 4D/67/68, program in the menu via OBD.
For Chip 4C, need to dismantle and write a key that can start the car.
For Chip G, need a master key to add a new key. Need to reset the immo box if all keys are lost.
