Top Cables to Disable Ford AKL Active Alarm

 What cable is needed to stop the active alarm on a new Ford when lost all keys?

 

NOTE:

Only need bypass cable when the alarm is active, if not active you don’t need bypass cable. If it us active just look and see if they have e a door key pad. if so get the code off the bcm sticker and deactivate the alarm and then you don’t need a bypass cable.

 

1. Autel Cable

What cable is needed to stop the active alarm on a ford with the Autel im508 or im608?

Autel uses gbox2/gbox3 and you manually do the disconnecting and reconnecting.

 

How to use Gbox to disable active alarm?

Leave ground connected, then 1 wire from battery + to gbox then 1 wire from battery + terminal to gbox.
the tool controls power then.

The + from battery goes to the GBOX2, and the battery post connector goes to the GBOX2 also.
THE POWER IS GOING TO THE GBOX2 FROM THE BATTERY!! . GUESS WHAT THE GBOX2 IS PLUGGED INTO?  THE OBD PORT!!! .

Power from the battery goes to the gbox2, which gives power to the obd port. Gbox OBD connections are really tight.
The tools makes the connection of power and disables the alarm before it activates.

The tool switches the vehicle power on and off, its the whole entire purpose of using the Gbox2.

The gbox2 is acting as a switch to power on the vehicle. The whole entire purpose of using the Gbox2 is so the tool can control power to the vehicle.

 

Connection example:

2020 Ford F550 all keys lost with active alarm.

Autel really sucks at doing active alarm, I have been successful with it but it’s a headache. Roughly 20 mins of connecting and disconnecting battery.

Autel really needs to just make a real ford bypass cable.  Other tools out have bypass cable setup that works great.

 

 

2. OBDSTAR Cable

 

The OBDSTAR Ford AKL cable is a lot better than the Autel way of doing it. This is one of the main reasons many people buy the obdstar x300 dp plus or G3, the OBDSTAR ford bypass cable and tablet do the actual disconnecting and reconnecting of the battery, you don’t do it manually like the autel, works much better.

3. Xhorse Ford Cable

Xhorse also has a Ford AKL adapter cable for 15+ ford’s akl active alarm, you just plug it into the bcm without removing it, it reads the flash file it needs and then you make the key.

This cable is designed for use with the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus or Key Tool Max Pro device to support all keys lost jobs on Ford and Lincoln vehicles from around 2015 (varies by model) onwards with an active alarm. This allows you to bypass the alarm and remove the need to constantly power the battery on and off.

Lonsdor Autel Xtool Zed-Full Locksmith Review

 There comes an unbiased review of some popular key programming tools by a real UK locksmith who has 10-year working experience.

 

 

Lonsdor K518– 

When this device came out a few years ago it was popular in Asia and USA. However, in recent times there has been more clarity and frequent updates. It’s a good all rounder and excellent value for money. Particularly strong in Toyota, Volvo, Fiat and Chrysler and will handle Ford, PSA, VAG and Renault up until 2015 and has many other brands it will cover. Using the emulators, you can do many Toyota all keys lost via OBD.

OBDstar X300 DP Plus – 

Probably the best bang for buck programmer on the market today. A great all-round tool which is known to be strong on Renault, Ford, PSA and Mazda. For a tool of this price to be able to do 2020 Ford Focus and Transit, 2017 Renault lost keys and read a pin from practically any PSA you plug in is unbelievable. Updates are frequent and very much focused on the EU market.

Xtool X100 PAD2 & PAD Elite (PAD3) –

The model range is very confusing as there are many different versions of the same device. The updates are coming thick and fast, 2 years’ worth included from purchase. Really strong on Asian brands, in particular Hyundai, Kia, Honda and Toyota. The recent Ford and Renault updates have been impressive and I expect many more updates over the next few months. The Pad Elite (PAD3) is compatible with the KC501 and can program Mercedes keys very fast, so for the money it’s a good tool. Not quite as refined as some other devices but once you find your way around it’s a solid machine.

Autel IM608 Pro (IM608) –

I have mixed feelings on this device, in some respects I think it’s excellent as it has such a broad coverage and the user interface is great. It has without doubt some of the most powerful diagnostic capabilities available from an all round “scanner” (whether you would use even 20% as a locksmith is debatable). However, if you don’t need high end diagnostic functions, I think it’s a lot of money for a key programmer. As with most devices, there is a heavy reliance on server calculations and this is where Autel suffers. There are so many occasions where the servers are so overloaded that programming cannot be carried out, or takes extremely long.

BossComm KMAX-850 –

This is a new device in the UK that many haven’t seen. Some of you may remember a diagnostic tool many years ago by BossComm, it was a good device in its day and this is from the same developer. For the surprisingly low cost of this tool it is very reliable and has great coverage. I used it on a Ford Focus 2019 spare key as a test and was surprised how well it worked. It is based on the Linux platform and has less reliance on the internet so it’s a good tool as a backup and comes with a pre-coding device. It’ll do VAG, Ford, Fiat, Honda and many more brands quite easily.

Zed-FULL – 

Every practising auto locksmith in the country should have heard of the Zed-FULL. For some people it is still the first tool they would plug in, for others it is a last resort. Without doubt it is a powerful device with a huge coverage, very easy to use and a plethora of functions. It is a token-based device and can work out very expensive, in today’s market I think token machines are only worth having if they do something other machines do not. A few years ago, that may have been the case with the Zed-FULL, but certainly not now. The other downside is that on some vehicles you must use an IEA key/remote so your hands are tied.

Smart Pro –

As most users found out the hard way, this device was released prematurely and left a lot of upset customers who had traded in a working device for a device still under development. I think that has changed now, it is much more reliable and has one of the best user interfaces of any of the devices mentioned. It is very good on Ford and can do AKL on Renault Trafic 2015- without bricking the BCM. It has a broad coverage and is easy to use, however it is token based so an expensive tool to use constantly. A good tool for a beginner, but still quite expensive for what it is actually capable of.

Top 4 Tools to Program GM 2021- CAN FD Key without PIN Code

 How to bypass GM 24-digit body module  BCM security verification code for 2021- new GM CAN FD models?

Autel CANNOT do the new GM  immo system. the ONLY aftermarket tools that can do it are obdstar,  xtool and autopropad.

 

Obdii365.com here provides top 4 tools to bypass new GM pin code.

 

1). Xtool tools

The $500 or less Xtool D7, D8, D9, D9 Pro can do CanFD, even 2023. (Stand alone the D8 & D9 ) (with CanFD the D7). X100 PAD3, A80, A80 Pro will also do this.

D7 does this fine. The D7 didn’t have the CAN FD so you had to get a different cable and use Xtool CAN FD adapter.

There’s no provision to get the pin from General Motors. I’d get a Xtool programmer (I’ve used D7 and D8). The D8 is a bit easier to get going but I’d also consider a D7s as it says it has Can-Fd built in. I did 3 of these today with my D8. Check It out, there was a small issue but it ended up working fine.

Follow CAN FD Models are supported by Xtool, keep updating

2021+ Buick Envision
2020+ Cadillac CT4/CT5
2022 Cadillac XT4/XT5/XT6
2020+ Cadillac Escalade
2020+ Chevy Corvette
2021+ Chevy Tahoe
2022+ Chevy Silverado
2022 Chevy Suburban
2022 GMC Sierra
2021-2022 GMC Yukon

Example:

Program 2021- Chevrolet Tahoe Proximity with Xtool D8 Free PIN

 

 

2). OBDSTAR & CAN FD Adapter

OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus / X300 Pro4 and CAN FD adapter will program key for new GMs without 24-digit pin code. OBDstar fantastic for US made cars especially helpful with newer models.

The GM adapter is compatible with the following new GM models:

Brand	Models	Year	Function
Cadillac	Escalade	2021-	Proximity key programming
	CT4	2021-
	CT5	2021-
GMC	Yukon	2021-	Proximity key programming
	Sierra	2021-
	Denali	2021-
Buick	Envision	2021-	Proximity key programming
	GLY (LSY)	2021-
Chevrolet	Cavalier	2021-	Proximity key programming
	Tahoe	2021-
	Silverado	2021-
	Suburban	2021-

	Equinox	2020-
	ONIX	2020-
	S10	2020-
	SPIN	2020-

V33.45 IMMO software adds Cadillac Escalade 2021-2022, Chevrolet Corvette 2021-2022, GMC Canyon 2020-2022 proximity (with CAN FD Adapter).

 

Example:

OBDSTAR Program 2021 GMC YUKON Prox All Keys Lost via CAN FD Adapter

 

 

3). AutoPro PAD Basic and Full

Yes Basic, (despite what the CanFD tools sales website says) can do CANFD PROTOCOLS with the CANFD ADAPTER.
app basic with regular cord then canfd adaptor to Obd.
Must have good cellular/internet connection. We had trouble pulling the pin using mifi Internet boxed but works? fine on cellular hotspot (we all have iPhones with the “Maximum Compatibility” option selected).
I purchased the Xtool CanFD Adapter and together with the Xtool Auto ProPad Basic I was able to program a 2021 Cadillac CT5 today. Same Process as usual GM vehicles with the CanFD adapter.

 

 

4). SPS2

Can be done with sps2, no need code or nastf. Only subscription.

If you have a laptop and J2534 passthru device  (MDI2, Autel Jbox, VXDIAG etc) you can do it from acdelcotds through Techline Connect.

How to Get Nissan Sentra 28-Digit Pin Code?

 Where to get 28-digit pin code for 2018+ Nissan Sentra & Sylphy B18 chassis smart key?

Here is the clue.

 

1. Bypass Method (Program Key without PIN Code):

 

Add key:

 

If Add key, both Lonsdor and OBDSTAR 40 Pin cable will bypass the pin code.

 

Lonsdor Nissan 40 PIN cable coverage (Add key)

Nissan Rogue T33 2021-
Nissan Pathfinder 2021-
Nissan Sylphy B18 2021-
Mitsubishi Outlander 2021-

Nissan New Sylphy B18 2021-

Nissan New X-trail T33 2021-

The function requires Nissan AKL license activated.

OBDSTAR Nissan 40 PIN cable coverage (Add key)

Nissan Rogue T33 2021-
Nissan Pathfinder 2021-
Mitsubishi Outlander 2021-

Nissan Sentra B18 2021.08-

Compatible with x300 dp plus and x300 pro4

 

 

All Keys Lost

If all keys lost, Lonsdor only does New Sylphy B18 2021- and New X-trail T33 2021- all keys lost bypass pin code. For Sentra 2021 B18 chassis AKL, still need to get password from 3rd party.

OBDSTAR does program Nissan Sentra B18 2021.08- all keys lost bypass pin code.

 

 

Autel and other devices will not bypass B18 pin code. IM608 will add key and do all keys lost, but cannot read pin code just references a third party.

 

 

2. 3rd Party Resource

Contact this guy on facebook. He provides Nissan 20digit, 28-digit pin code calculation.

We are not affiliated with this guy. Contact with caution.

 

 

3. Extract PIN code with Tool

For example: 2021 Nissan Sentra (28 Digit) Pin Extraction with Abrites- RH850/V850 Programmer

 

 Method 3 seems like a complicated task. So not recommended.
