When something goes wrong with your tools, it affects your ability to serve your customers. AutoProPAD warranty and repair services are built for fast turnaround times to keep your downtime to a minimum and get you back to work quickly, with every machine handled with care.

Anti-Theft Protection

Key programmers have become targets for theft and even violent robberies against working locksmiths. AutoProPAD uses a user PIN code, embedded ownership registration and instant internet verification to make the machine useless to anyone who is not the registered owner.

After registration, a PIN code of your choice is required every time you power on the AutoProPAD or wake it from sleep mode, just like unlocking your phone. If an incorrect PIN is entered multiple times, the programmer is locked until the registered owner proves ownership. The device must also connect to the internet briefly once every 24 hours to verify it has not been reported stolen. The tool does NOT need to stay connected to the internet to make keys. After the brief check, it keeps working for another 24 hours, and every connection renews the 24-hour window automatically.
