Scorpio-LK Tango and FLY TM100 - Which Is More Valuable?

Here, have collected how people think of key programmers Scorpio Tango and Fly TM100.

1. Tango is used for key making via eeprom & transponder generation

Maybe Tango is not in direct competition with Abrites. Tango is mainly used for key making via eeprom and transponder generation whereas Abrites is mainly for keymaking and other functions via OBD. The closest point they meet is with the Tag key tool been used as a eeprom aid.
Now it could be said that Tango could kick the ass of Tmpro, ad900, zed bull, and miraclone. but others would beg to differ.
I would say that Abrites is now becoming big competition to AD 100 Pro.

Tango kicks Abrites ass in RELIABILITY, QUALITY and customer support with ease. Obviously it cant do nowhere near as much as Abrites, BUT atleast it works first time and everytime and you can trust it UNLIKE Abrites

2. Each programmer has its limitation

Tango, TMPro, Tag keytool, Arbrites are complementary.
Each has its limitations and it is designed in such a way by a team of designers.And team designers come from the same group.
If you complain why tango does not support the type transponder xxx, then tmpro is the solution and vice versa.
So there will never be one tool that spans all the problems.

3. Two Tango versions in China, FLY and Skorpio-LK

I have Tango from China upgraded to latest software on Scorpio-Lk Tango web-side no problem , Great Tool !
but you have two version available from china, the cheaper version about 200USD is clone/copy rubbish and will not update on Skorpio-LK ......
Original Tango price- over 1000USD and all is working fine you must register on Skorpio-LK with in one month of purchase and if you don,t connect to internet/server tool will lock itself , you can buy extra modules from Skorpio-LK no problems.


4.
I have tried new Fly tango V1.111, it does not work. Before update it worked little bit. For example I could red Skoda 1998 iD33 key. But after update nothing works. Except for documentation, that works. I am using it on windows XP, no yellow flags.When I check Fly tango software says everything is ok, but last line says some errors. I contacted Fly company, but they are not interested, probably because they know it does not work. Any suggestions, I be grateful. I think I have to buy original Tango. I was misslead because some guys on DK said it worked like original, but no updates. FLY TANGO V1.111 DOES NOT WORK

5. Had a win with TM100

So I had a bit of a win today with this Tm100.I can say that Fly 100% deletes your serial number, which inturn makes the software pop up a window to update etc as other people have said & posted screenshots of this.
After patching this little problem I was able to use the Tm100. but it's, not a permanent fix.
I'm actually very dirtly about this & I believe FLY should not kill peoples programmers even if it's a clone, which this is not a clone.
I'm waiting for an email back from them, & I will keep trying to contact them to fix this TM100.
But if I don't get a response, I will not stop reverse engineering this product until I have a 100% fix in which I will make sure other people don't have the same problems I'm facing.
You can see the serial number is all "000" & when I put back the serial number in the software I can read an H chip etc so it's working as the example etc.
Here are some screenshots.

6. TM100 is bad

Tm100 was the worst equipment I had.
Biggest hit by the Fly team.
In addition to the equipment we lose purchased licenses.
Fly does not respect who bought their products.
Fly is very dishonest.


7.Bad experience with FLY TM100

Firstly why would FLY sell a Tango "Works just like original" for only $800 with full functions and still sell their TM100 over $2000 for full functions? Doesn't that tell you something? Because obviously if the Tango worked just like original and you got free updates and whatever then who in their sense is going to buy the TM100?
With regards to the SDD+, I asked them how much and they said Free only need to pay shipping. I asked how much shipping and they quoted a massive $67. So I said ok, rather ship to my agent in Shenzhen which is very near your office and MARY says $50 and the other Fly sales person says $25. Either way it's still alot. I agreed on the $25 and they sent me a paypal invoice of $27 and on there states
the goods ----SDD+ is free for the customer 27usd is only for the shipment or the delivery so we will refuse to accept any dispute of refunding"
So are these SDD dummy or faulty units or what and why the crazy shipping amounts? I mean shipping inside shenzhen isn't more than $5. So is it really free or they cleverly selling you some expensive paper weights?


Conclusion:
It’s hard to say which one is the best, the TM100 is a China brand, the Tango is a foreign brand, their functions are basically the same.
The TM100 functions: cover,read,write and generate transponders;read kilomoters,VIN,and transponder type;PIN calculation,62 key maker modules.
The Tango functions: cover,read,write and generate transponders;read kilomoters,VIN,and transponder type.
TM100 Transponder support: Philips transponders, Temic transponders, Megamos transponders,Texastransponders
Tango Transponder support: Philips transponders, Temic transponders, Megamos transponders,Texastransponders,Atmel
Note that, here i mean the original from Scorpio, not the cheap one from FLY
Maybe you would save some good $$$$ if you just bought the clone TM100 from the FLY company. But it has many bugs and sometimes goes faulty for no reason. Send it back for repair but a few months later, probably DEAD again. They cannot help resolve any bugs or issues with their devices
In summary, Tango is more stable than TM100.
Perhaps TM100 remains to be perfect.
but if you don’t venture to buy a new product, chose Scorpio Tango instead.

How to Make TM100 Key Programmer Work Again?

Patch to make Tm100 key programmer work again.
Because the .exe is packed the data locations will change every time the program is run, so we can't use locations to find the hex that needs to be changed.
But we can use the hex to search for the location that we want to change & that's why I've posted the whole hex to make it easy to locate the three patches that need to be done to make the software work.
There is away to extract the .exe when the program is running and re make the hex back into an .exe, but I don't have the time to learn; how to do that.
Hopefully someone out there knows someone & can do this for all of us?
I'm just going to run this in a VM & leave the VM on & that way it's not a pencil holder anymore.
I refuse to be blackmailed to pay any money because they blanked my serial number when it connected to their ip address as in the tm100.ini file
The way I see the situation is example,
If I go and damage someone's a car; I'm going to get charged by the police for the damage,
but if they damage my expensive key programmer and make it not work anymore, they get away with it. go figure that?
Hence this video / project to say stuff you, seeing they have got away with damaging a lot of peoples programmers with no repercussions, but to charge money to undo what they did.
I like a repercussion that gave me money, but wait I'd think of damaging people stuff & charging them to fix it, stupid me I don't live in China, where I can get away with that.
I can't teach people how to use olly but I can show you what I've done to make this Tm100 work again & it up to you.
So now I have a work around, to me i consider this project finished & I'm not going to waste any more time on it & besides I use my Tango 99% of the time anyway, this was just a F*ck you to the people who think they can do this to me.
Now I'll likely just put the tm100 back in the box and forget about it & never give them a $1 more as another way to stick my foot up their AXX
I have make a video for all the people stuck with this problem & uploaded it you youtube to help you out.
https://youtu.be/6pVwkP-KnCE
This is for Tango software v7.16
Below I've post the hex & highlighted, so you can copy it & use it & know what to change, also the video will show you the three patched that you need to do also.
You can patch this in the dump as well in olly of you want to search by binary

Best VAG Key Tool Xhorse VVDI2 vs. AVDI

Here’s the research on that delivers following products (VAG best key tool):

1) VVDI2
2) Abrites

Now, will talk about the two by immo systems:

1. 4th immo
2. 5th immo
3. MQB

in detail…

Part 1: VAG 4th immobilizer system

VVDI2:

VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat/Porsche/Bentley vehicles all have 4th immobilizer car:

1. Instrument – CDC3217/CDC3297/CDC3272 + 24C32
2. Instrument – NEC+24C32
3. Instrument – NEC+24C64
4. Instrument – NEC+24C64 (2013-)
5. Instrument– NEC+24C64 (2012 TFT color display)
6. Instrument– NEC+24C64 (2013 TFT color display)
7. Instrument– NEC35xx
8. Instrument– NEC+95320
9. Instrument– Motorola 9S12XHZ512(Golf6 MM7 – 2011)
10. Instrument– NEC+95320(Johnson Controls)
11. Instrument– NEC+95320(JCI – 2013 Bora/Jetta)
12. Instrument– Visteon
13. VW Passat B6/B7/CC Key Learn
14. Touareg/Phaeton/A8/Cayenne/Bentley 4th immobilizer
15. Audi A1 – NEC+24C64
16. Audi A3/TT/R8 – CDC3217/3297 + 24C32
17. Audi A4 – instrument Crypto RB4 (2001+)
18. Audi A4 –instrument Crypto RB8 (2004+)
19. Audi A6/Q7/Allroad – EZS-Kessy
20. Audi Q3

Abrites commander:

(again the immobilizer is stored in the cluster but now it spreads to other models too. The difference between IMMO III and IV is very slight and it is often hard to differentiate between the two. For this reason they are basically considered to be one type).

Examples:

• GOLF V/ GOLF VI (and all derivatives)
• A3 8P (and all derivatives)
• PASSAT 6 (and all derivatives)
• A6/ Q7 EZS KESSY (and all derivatives)
• A8/ PORSCHE CAYENNE/ BENTLEY CONTINENTAL (and all derivatives)
• A4 B7 (and all derivatives)
• OCTAVIA 1Z (and all derivatives)

– IMMO II (the immobilizer is stored in the cluster).

Examples:

• GOLF IV (and all derivatives)
• A3 8P (and all derivatives)
• PASSAT 5/ 5.5 (and all derivatives)
• OCTAVIA 1U FACELIFT (and all derivatives)

– IMMO I (external IMMO box).

Examples:

• GOLF III (and all derivatives)
• A4 B5 before the facelift in 2001 (and all derivatives)
• Passat IV (and all derivatives)

Part 2: VAG 5 th immobilizer system

VVDI2:

This type use VAG immo5 transponder or OEM key Support following cars: A4 (2009-), A5, Q5, A6 (2012-), A7, A8(2011-), Touareg (2011-)

Abrites:

(this is the current generation of immobilizers, in it we can see not just the spreading of the immo in different modules but also the significant enlargement of the component security which is divided between the modules).

Examples:

• BCM II cars – A4/A5/A6/A7/A8/Q5 (and all derivatives)
• MQB cars: GOLF VII/A3 8V/OCTAVIA A8/LEON 5F/NEW POLO/Q3 (and all derivatives)
• Some crossover models with IMMO IV with 16 byte component security in the ECU.

Part 3: MQB system

VVDI2 for VAG MQB:

mqb authorization is free, if you have vvdi2 full authorization, vag 4th immo authorization, vag 4th & 5th immo authorization, copy 48 96bit authorization

VVDI2 MQB vehicle coverage:

VVDI2 works for MQB NEC35xx immobilizer/ dashboard below:

Audi A3/S3 2014+

Audi Q2

VW Golf7

VW Polo(MQB)

VW Tiguan II

VW Touran II

VW crafter 2017+

VW Passat B8 without virtual cockpit

Skoda Octavia III 2014.07+

Skoda Rapid 2015.06+

Skoda Kodiaq

Skoda Superb III

Seat Ibiza/Ateca/Toledo 2015.06+

Abrites for VAG MQB:

MQB ( GOLF 7, A3 8V, Octavia A8, etc.) ALL KEYS LOST or additional keys. for cars with VDO, JCI and Virtual Cockpit cluster.

There are two procedures to complete this procedure:

1. No tokens required – just MQB key learning.
   – Go to Instrument CAN.
   – Select MQB AKL.
   – Follow the steps.
   The down side to this method is that the car will have Component Protection in it and will need to visit the dealer.
   2. Tokens required:
   – Go to the ECU programming tool and read the ECU’s flash and Dataflash. Save them
   – Go to the IMMO V adaptation and select transmission, then MQB DSG. (not needed for manual transmission cars). Obtain the CS.
   – Go to EDC17 BOOT under ECU and extract the CS from the ECU as we normally do by loading the files and waiting for the result.
   Now we can start learning keys.
   – Go to key learning
   – IMMO 4/5 by component security.
   – Input the results of the whole CS reading above.
   – The software will subtract a token there
   – Program keys.

CARS UP TO 2018 supported for key programming here are the supported types starting from the oldest to the newest, the models are just examples and do not represent the full list. Complete IMMO I – IMMO V solution:
