Digital car keys promise a lot but can carry a lot of risks. Knowing the pros and cons can help your customers to decide which is the better option.
Unlocking The Key Benefits Of The TDB1000 Software For Vehicle Management
In 2024, a car key isn’t simply a car key anymore. With software and hardware changes transforming the landscape of the industry, many key fobs now include sophisticated control and security features, which require equally sophisticated tools and software to provide an efficient service.
One of the most popular tools among automotive locksmiths and diagnostic garages is the TDB1000 platform. The TBD1000 car diagnostic tool is an advanced key programming device designed to program a variety of transponder keys, proximity system keys and remote control keys, and can also read security pin codes.
The devices cost less than £600 each and come with a range of customisable software packages (for an additional purchase) configurable to the needs of your business and its customers. Most vendors offer a five-year manufacturer’s warranty covering the device hardware.
