Summary:
1)Compare X100 Elite 2 to old Elite, Elite has longer battery endurance and support Toyota 8A AKL without adapters; Elite 2 has stronger firmware and support bench programming (BMW ISN…)
2)Compared to IK618E, X100 Elite has stronger firmware but almost the same immo software
3)For full key programming and diagnosis, select Elite 2, Elite, or IK618E
