The CK100 V99.99 Auto Key Programmer emerges as a sophisticated solution in the realm of automotive key programming, surpassing its predecessor, the SBB key programmer, with enhanced capabilities and broader vehicle compatibility. This tool is engineered for automotive professionals and enthusiasts seeking a robust, user-friendly, and efficient device for managing vehicle keys.
Understanding the CK100 Key Programmer
The CK100 Key Programmer V99.99 represents a leap forward in car key programming technology. It’s designed as an upgraded iteration of the SBB Key Programmer, effectively replacing the SBB Key Immobilizer with its expanded features and functionalities. This advanced tool is celebrated for its power, functionality, and exceptional build quality, making it an indispensable asset for anyone involved in automotive diagnostics and security.
Key Programmer Tokens Explained
In the context of key programmers, tokens are digital credits that authorize the programming of transponder keys for specific vehicles. This system is designed to manage software licenses and sometimes limit usage. Purchasing tokens grants users the ability to generate token update files, which are then loaded into the programmer, enabling it to perform key programming operations. However, the CK100 V99.99 distinguishes itself by operating without the constraints of a token system for most vehicles, offering a significant advantage in terms of usability and cost-effectiveness over time.
SBB Key Programmer: A Foundation
The SBB key programmer is recognized as a portable tool for programming transponder keys, utilizing the vehicle’s OBD2 diagnostic port. Its strength lies in its extensive vehicle model coverage, enabling swift and straightforward key programming directly into immobilizer systems. The CK100 builds upon this foundation, enhancing both the range of vehicles supported and the depth of its programming capabilities.

User Reviews of the CK-100 Key Programmer:
Review 1: “Setup was straightforward, and the tool is very user-friendly. It works flawlessly even on newer car models. PIN code entry is occasionally needed, but that’s expected. A significant upgrade from my old SBB. The CK100 has already proven its value and paid for itself in saved costs.”
Review 2: “Successfully programmed keys for a 2005 Ford F-150 and a 2005 Mazda 6. Initially had trouble with the F-150, but using the ‘erase all keys’ function before adding new keys resolved the issue. Worked perfectly with Mazda PCM replacement using the ‘add key’ function. Token usage seems efficient; with 1024 tokens included, only one was used for scanning a Ford. Ford’s ‘add key’ function might use more tokens per key, but overall, it’s very effective.”
