We’ve provided several answers to questions related to XTOOL AutoProPad G3 Core Automotive Key Programmer , see some other helpful Q&A related to this product.
Question: Can the AutoProPAD G3 program Mercedes-Benz or BMW?
Answer:
Per AutoProPAD, Mercedes-Benz is not supported by the AutoProPAD G3 in its current form, and they recommend formal training before taking on European vehicles. BMW is supported on early-2000s models only, and those procedures require a strong working knowledge of European automotive locksmithing to perform safely.
Question: Can the AutoProPAD G3 Core or Evolution program GM CAN-FD or Ford FDRS vehicles?
Answer:
No. As of now, key learning on GM CAN-FD vehicles and Ford FDRS-only vehicles can only be done with the respective dealer tools - no aftermarket programmer, including the AutoProPAD G3 Core or Evolution, currently performs these functions. AutoProPAD has stated they are working toward a solution, so this coverage may change in the future.
Question: How do I reach AutoProPAD G3 technical support?
Answer:
Live AutoProPAD technical support is provided by US-based locksmiths who actively work in the field, and is available to AutoProPAD G3 users with an active subscription. You can reach Technical Support at (888) 988-6865, Monday-Friday 8:30am-5:00pm PST - it helps to be with the vehicle when you call and to have your serial number ready. You can also submit a request at https://www.llwrc.com/tech-support/ or learn more at https://www.autopropad.com/techsupport.
Question: Can I change the language or units on the AutoProPAD G3?
Answer:
Yes. The AutoProPAD G3 Core and G3 Evolution both let you change the interface language - English, Spanish, and French - and switch between metric and imperial units from the Settings menu, along with screen brightness, volume, and Wi-Fi.
Question: Should I buy the AutoProPAD G3 Core or the AutoProPAD G3 Evolution?
Answer:
The AutoProPAD G3 Core and G3 Evolution share the same Smart Assist guidance and the same simplified interface, so either is approachable for newer programmers. The Core is the more budget-friendly, focused choice if your work is mostly straightforward OBD-II key and remote jobs. The Evolution adds EEPROM-only vehicle support, key pre-coding with the KC100, and full diagnostics, giving you more room to expand without needing a second tool later.
Question: Can the AutoProPAD G3 Evolution pull a Chrysler Pacifica PIN?
Answer:
Yes. The AutoProPAD G3 Evolution can read the PIN code from the SKREEM module on the 2004-2008 Chrysler Pacifica through its included EEPROM hardware. This PIN pull is a required step before the vehicle will accept any new keys.
Question: What EEPROM capabilities does the AutoProPAD G3 Evolution have?
Answer:
The AutoProPAD G3 Evolution includes a bench EEPROM module for SOIC8 and DIP8 chips, letting you read and write immobilizer data directly when OBD-II programming isn't an option - for example, after an ECU or immobilizer module replacement. The EEPROM menu includes functions like read PIN code, MCU access, data initialization, immobilizer data repair/write, and mileage adjustment. Common use cases include Honda, Acura, Toyota, and Lexus vehicles from roughly 1997-2007 with no OBD-II path to the immobilizer, and pulling the PIN from the SKREEM module on the Chrysler Pacifica (2004-2008).
Question: What is the AutoProPAD G3 Evolution?
Answer: The AutoProPAD G3 Evolution is the flagship model of the AutoProPAD G3 series - an all-in-one key programmer built for locksmiths who need maximum versatility. It combines a wireless Wi-Fi VCI, bench EEPROM hardware, and the KC100 key pre-coding module in one kit, so it can handle both OBD-II and EEPROM-only vehicles. It's positioned as the fastest AutoProPAD to date and is aimed at professionals who want one tool that covers complex jobs from the field to the bench.

Question: How is the AutoProPAD G3 Core different from the older AutoProPAD BASIC?
Answer:
The AutoProPAD G3 Core is the direct successor to the AutoProPAD BASIC. It keeps the same simple, OBD-II-only approach but adds a completely overhauled user interface, an improved programming flow that reduces button presses, an upgraded Quad-Core 1.50 GHz processor running Android 10, and the Smart Assist feature for on-screen key and chip guidance.
Question: What comes in the box with the AutoProPAD G3 Core?
Answer:
The AutoProPAD G3 Core kit includes the tablet, a USB Type-C to Type-C charging cable, a USB Type-C to Type-A adapter for connecting to a PC, the VGA-to-OBDII-16 main cable, a 12V DC to cigarette-lighter cable, and a power charging block. It also includes a packing list, certificate of quality, and a carrying case.
Question: What are the hardware specifications of the AutoProPAD G3 Core?
Answer:
The AutoProPAD G3 Core runs Android 10 on a Quad-Core 1.50 GHz processor with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It has a 7" capacitive touchscreen at 1024x600 HD, an 8MP autofocus camera with flash, and a 7.3V 2,500 mAh lithium-ion battery rated for around 4 hours. The Core measures roughly 9.2" W x 6.2" H x 1.2" D, uses a rugged aluminum chassis with rubberized handles, and ships in an insulated carrying case.
Question: What diagnostics and special functions does the AutoProPAD G3 Core have?
Answer:
The AutoProPAD G3 Core includes basic OBD-II diagnostics plus a set of special service functions - 13 per the spec sheet - covering common resets and calibrations such as TPMS reset, SAS (steering angle sensor) calibration, EPB service mode, oil reset, headlight alignment, and suspension. The full Premium Diagnostic Suite (reading ECU info, reading and clearing DTCs, live data, freeze frame, activation tests, and topology), the larger 36-function special set, and the Vehicle Health pre-/post-scan reporting are exclusive to the AutoProPAD G3 Evolution. The Core also does not include the bench EEPROM hardware module.
Question: Does the AutoProPAD G3 Core include the KC100 key pre-coding module?
Answer:
No. The KC100 key/chip pre-coder is included only with the AutoProPAD G3 Evolution. The AutoProPAD G3 Core is an OBD-II key programmer and does not include the KC100 or the hardware needed for pre-coding systems like VW 4th/5th immobilizer, BMW CAS1-3, or Land Rover.
Question: Does the AutoProPAD G3 Core support EEPROM key programming?
Answer:
No. The AutoProPAD G3 Core does not include the bench EEPROM hardware module, so it can't read or write immobilizer data directly off the chip. EEPROM key making - used when there's no OBD-II path to the immobilizer, such as older Honda/Acura/Toyota/Lexus or Chrysler Pacifica PIN pulls - requires the AutoProPAD G3 Evolution, which ships with the EEPROM module. If your work regularly involves EEPROM-only vehicles, the Evolution is the model to look at.
Question: Is the AutoProPAD G3 Core wired or wireless?
Answer:
The AutoProPAD G3 Core is wired. It connects to the vehicle through a hardwired VGA-to-OBDII-16 main cable that plugs into the tablet's HD15 port and into the vehicle's OBD-II port. There is no wireless VCI on the Core; the compact Wi-Fi VCI that lets you work away from the vehicle is a feature of the higher-tier AutoProPAD G3 Evolution.
Question: What is the AutoProPAD G3 Core and who is it designed for?
Answer: The AutoProPAD G3 Core is the streamlined, OBD-II-focused model in the AutoProPAD G3 series and the successor to the AutoProPAD BASIC. It's built for locksmiths who want fast, dependable OBD-II key making without the added complexity and cost of EEPROM and bench work. With a redesigned interface and simplified programming flow, the AutoProPAD G3 Core handles everyday key and remote jobs on most domestic and Asian vehicles.
