XP200 Key Programmer Features

The XP200 is specifically designed to:

• Read Volkswagen vehicle key chip data
• Clone and generate exclusive keys
• Read/write on-board EEPROM data
• Read/write Freescale 9S12 MCUs

When used with a diagnostic tool and PC running compatible programmer software, the XP200 enables fast and accurate reading/writing of key chip data.

Bi-Directional Control & Active Test

Instead of guessing which component failed—like wipers, windows, solenoids, valves, ABS, or headlamps—the IM508S can perform real active tests. It sends commands directly to the vehicle's ECU to activate components, helping you quickly identify faulty parts and reduce unnecessary replacements. Note: Not universal; check compatibility before use.
