2017 Smart Fortwo Key Programming FAILS… Until Lonsdor Saved It! | IM608 & ABRITES vs Lonsdor
We were just trying to add a key to this 2017 Smart Fortwo (blade-style VA2)… but what should have been a quick job turned into a full-on tool battle 😤
Here’s what happened:
❌ Autel IM608 Pro II failed to get the PIN and couldn’t program the key
❌ ABRITES also failed programming
✅ Lonsdor came through with a quick and successful PIN read + key programming
What should’ve been a 15-minute job ended up taking over 1.5 hours, but we got it done and learned a lot along the way.
🧰 Tools Tested in This Video:
• Autel IM608 Pro II
• ABRITES
• Lonsdor (successful method)
• VA2 blade key
