XTOOL AutoProPAD G3 Evolution Automotive Key Programmer

The Flagship of the AutoProPAD G3 Series

As the flagship model of the AutoProPAD G3 series, the XTOOL AutoProPAD G3 Evolution offers unmatched versatility and power for complex programming jobs. It is built to help professional automotive locksmiths work smarter, faster and more securely. Its compact Wi-Fi VCI lets you program keys without being tethered to the vehicle, and it handles both OBD-II and EEPROM-only vehicles with advanced features, a streamlined workflow and superior performance.

What Makes the G3 Evolution a Game-Changer?

The G3 Evolution is more than just another key programmer. It is an all-in-one solution built by locksmiths for locksmiths who demand versatility and speed. With its advanced chip architecture and revamped software, it is the fastest AutoProPAD yet, with a blast processor and new programming architecture that is up to 200% faster than previous generations. From vehicles with complex security systems to everyday jobs, the G3 Evolution keeps you efficient in the field or in the shop.

Outstanding Features

• Compact Wi-Fi VCI: The palm-sized Wi-Fi Vehicle Communication Interface connects instantly to the tablet, so you can program keys from up to 30 feet away. A signal strength indicator on the tablet shows when you are within range, letting you work from your van when the vehicle is too hot, too cold or too dirty.
• EEPROM Capabilities: EEPROM key making is straightforward thanks to the intuitive interface and the included basic EEPROM module for SOIC8 and DIP8 EEPROMs. EEPROM is critical when conventional programming fails, for example when the ECU or immobilizer module has been replaced, or on older vehicles with no OBD-II path to the immobilizer. By reading the data stored in the immobilizer chip, you can retrieve the information needed to program new keys or reset the system.
• Honda, Acura, Toyota and Lexus (c. 1997-2007): These vehicles often need EEPROM procedures when no OBD-II access is available. Read and write EEPROM data, such as the immobilizer code, to program new keys or reset the system.
• Chrysler Pacifica (2004-2008): Pull the PIN code from the SKREEM module with the included EEPROM hardware, a required step before the vehicle will accept new keys.
• Comprehensive Key Pre-Coding: For vehicles that need specific data written to the key before programming, the included KC100 module writes key/chip data for VW 4th/5th immobilizer, BMW CAS1-3, ProMaster 2017+, ProMaster City 2018+, Land Rover, Fiat and more. The G3 Evolution also supports AnyToyo and other RFH peripherals.
• Blazing-Fast Speed and Performance: A powerful quad-core processor, 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM handle even the most demanding jobs quickly.
• Smart Assist Technology: Programming keys isn't just about speed; it's about precision. Smart Assist is your personal assistant for key programming, giving tips, advice and recommendations based on the connected vehicle. From transponder keys and chips to smart keys and remotes, it helps you make the right choice every time. It also provides key blade information such as MACS, space and depth, and code series. With hundreds of new vehicles added monthly, the information is always up to date.
• Coming Soon: Smart Assist will include FCC ID recommendations for all remotes and smart keys.
• Streamlined Workflow: A revised user interface and refined vehicle auto-detect (advanced VIN auto-detect) maximize productivity and minimize button presses.
• Premium Diagnostics: Read ECU, read DTC, clear DTC, live data, freeze frame, activation tests and more.
• 36+ Special Functions: Including oil reset, EPB, SAS, BMS reset, ABS bleed, throttle reset, air suspension, injector coding, power balance, headlight, transmission adaptation, zero point calibration, crankshaft sensor relearn, TPMS and more.
• Topology: Visually map the vehicle's network architecture to see how ECUs communicate and quickly find faults and communication errors, reducing repair time and cost.
• Vehicle Health Report: Run a detailed pre-scan of all vehicle systems and print or email the report from the tablet to identify pre-existing issues. A quick post-scan after key programming improves transparency and builds customer confidence.
• Charging Dock: Includes a bench-mountable dock for easy grab-and-go use.
• Supported Languages: English, Spanish and French.

Warranty & Repair Services

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.
