I suppose that's why the MK808 which does support those functions is £240 more.

Hi
For some reason there seems to be differences of the white AP200, some having 10 x service functions whilst others 25 which includes the keys,
Know personally that it works fine for my D3 and many other D3 owners , hopefully someone on the forum can confirm if they have one and works for urs
Here’s one that says it will program keys , maybe u could get urs replaced
Amazon product
Hope this helps

I've just bought an AP200 and 2 remotes.
The AP200 software "performs" programming the keys, and I've seen the YT video of it doing it successfully, but it failed to program the remotes I got on my 2010 F2.
Kept coming up with errors on the new keys, including that it thought they were already programmed to another car.

I was concerned about getting knock offs or stuff coded into them so they are region based (IP address etc).
So I went onto the Autel NZ website and they had a list of authorised distributors and I got it from 1 of them. Paid $ more than through a non-authorised reseller.
I got remotes from Ali, but ones recommended to work from a post on that reliable font of all knowledge. Forget what it's called. Oh yeh... landyzone.co.uk

Yeh, same 433hz.
Will give these another go, but I don't hold out much hope. May try another remote, but its difficult to know where stuff comes from these days... something costing 4 times as much from a NZ/Aussie/UK supplier may be exactly the same remotes with someone just making a fast buck.

My Gap does not reprogram fobs, I contacted the makers who told me they are doing an update, still waiting four years later.
My AP 200 the white one does the reprogramming of the fobs.
Grumpy does your AP 200 even show the fob programming section

My Gap has gone wrong. It seems to be stuck in an updated loop. If it starts working again, I'll be selling it on as it's basically worthless for the FL2.
Interesting that there seem to be different AP 200 models.

Yes, and it goes through the process of inserting a valid programmed key first, but when you get to inserting the new one it says, and I may not have the exact wording here, "Process F**ked Up".
I'm not sure what is going on to be honest, some times it would dock a new blank key (I was trying with 2), other times it will spit it out.
I tried quite a few times in one 'session". I really need to have another go.
Did you use an auxiliary power supply on the battery? Those are pretty much essential or programming can fail. SDD won't even start programming functions unless the battery is well above 12.5V at the start of the operation.

No I didn't.
I'll check the battery condition before I try next time. See what it is with the work's jump pack plugged into it to.

Myself, I would have one of those expensive auto locksmiths, but cheaper than a dealer, see if they can do anything with your new fobs. or at least first try a hard reset as a straw clutching exercise.

Well, its a funny old game.
I dunno why it would be any different, but I had another go at programming the new keys today. Thought I'd simplify it and just add 1 new key to the existing 1.
And guess what.....
Da darrrrr...
It failed, just like last time.
Buggerrit.
Wouldn't finish the process, failed messages including "key already programmed to another car" which I got last time, exactly the same. And like last time the process didn't finish and couldn't be cancelled, so had to kill the app.
It was worth a go.
Well, actually it wasn't!
So, got out of the car, went to lock it. Pause. I wonder? Hit the Lock button on the new fob.....
and....
Da darrrrr...
The car locked!
Well I'll be f**ked!
Hit the unlock button.... and it unlocked.
Got in, pushed the new key into the slot... and it docked.
Pushed the Start button and it fired into life.
So although the AP200 software was telling me there were errors, and although it never completed the process. It had programmed the key to the car.
I dunno if it had been programmed last time, I assume not - but maybe it has. I'll have to try the other key I tried with as well last time and see if that works.

Hi mate
That’s great news and so pleased for u that it worked , have seen many others pay £4-500 from a dealer so a right result u now have a functioning key
Hi mate
Was also surprised with ref to different software , seems that some show 10 x service functions and others 25
Also see that some won’t work on iPads and only on phones
From what I’ve read the Amazon one seems to be the one that works the best for multiple functions
Sorry to hear about the gap iid , hopefully they can send u a software update to get it working again
I'm wondering if there are clones of the Ap 200 about, which have different functions. If they can't code injectors or carry out service routines like air path calibrations or other new component calibrations they're pretty useless IMO.
My IID just stopped working one day. When I last tried to get it to work, I couldn't connect to it with the PC, and whilst the phone app connects, it just says that it's busy and may be updating. There's only so long I can leave it in the OBD port, but leaving it connected for over an hour didn't achieved anything from it.
I'm tempted to send it back to Gap, but by the time I've paid for postage, then be told it's broken once it arrives, I'd be worse off than I am with it sitting in a drawer.
Maybe I can sell it as for parts only?
