The CK100 V46.02 Auto Car Key Programmer represents a significant leap forward in automotive key programming technology. As a next-generation tool, it surpasses the capabilities of its predecessor, the SBB Key Programmer, offering enhanced features, broader vehicle coverage, and a user-friendly experience for automotive professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Understanding the CK100 Key Programmer
The CK100 Key Programmer V46.02 is engineered as a robust and versatile solution for car key programming. It’s not just an upgrade; it’s a reimagining of what a key programming tool can be. Designed to replace the SBB Key Immobilizer, the CK100 brings a wealth of new functionalities and improvements, solidifying its position as an indispensable tool for anyone involved in automotive key services.
Unlike some key programmers that rely on tokens, which can limit usage and add to operational costs, the CK100 operates on a token-free system for most vehicles. This token system, in general key programmers, is a method to control software access, requiring users to purchase tokens for each programming operation. The CK100’s token-free nature (for most cars) provides a significant advantage by reducing ongoing expenses and allowing for uninterrupted workflow.
The SBB key programmer, while a valuable tool in its time, is now considered a more basic option compared to the CK100. The SBB (Silca SBB) is known as a portable OBD2 key programming device, appreciated for its simplicity and wide vehicle coverage. However, the CK100 expands upon this foundation, offering more advanced features and broader vehicle compatibility, making it a more powerful and future-proof investment.

Real User Reviews of the CK-100 Key Programmer
Review 1: “The CK100 started up immediately and is very user-friendly. It works even on the latest car models. While some vehicles require a PIN code for key programming, this is expected. It’s a significant upgrade from my old SBB and has already proven to be a worthwhile investment.”
Review 2: “The CK100 has been reliable for programming keys for various models, including a 2005 Ford F-150 and a 2005 Mazda 6. I initially faced an issue with the F-150, but using the ‘erase all keys’ function resolved the problem. It’s important to follow the correct procedure, especially regarding security wait times and key insertion order. The tool came with tokens, but I’ve found it to be largely token-free for the functions I’ve used so far.”
