OPERATING
MANUAL
AD100Pro - INTRODUCTION B1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

AD100Pro builds on the success of the AD100 and is the next generation in key transponder programming. Designed
with simplicity in mind, AD100Pro integrates the variety of adaptors previously required for AD100 by using simple
colour coded dongles that configure the tester, thus reducing the quantity of cables/adaptors required.

The AD100Pro is a hand held portable diagnostic system, equipped with 64MB of RAM used for the application data, and
512MB of Flash memory for the protocol handling system. In addition, it has a USB interface connection for fast software
downloads.

The large LCD 320x240 Touch Screen provides easy navigation/selection and the ability to display more information,
diagrams and incorporate a keypad entry system to allow easy alphanumeric entry for pin codes etc. Alternatively the
menus and screens can be fully navigated using the keypad.

The unit is capable of reading/clearing fault codes, displaying live data, programming keys/remotes, extracting pin codes
(certain vehicles), erasing/resetting immobiliser ECU’s along with other functions that a particular system may allow.

POWER Powered via the diagnostic socket through a 25 way

D-Type cable system. If no power is available through the vehicle diagnostic socket then
CONNECTION
the adapter cable will have the vehicle battery connections.

VEHICLE The unit is supplied with a range of cables to cover various manufacturers. The smaller
adaptor cables use the ADC100 Master Cable, which connects to the tester. These
CONNECTION
adaptor cables can then be connected depending on which system is being tested

LCD The LCD BACKLIGHT is automatically switched on when the unit has power. This cannot
be switched off or adjusted. If the unit is not used for a period of time the LCD backlight
BACKLIGHT
will automatically switch off, and as soon as any key is pressed it will switch back on
again.

PASSWORD To stop unauthorised access the unit is fitted with a password system.
If the password is entered incorrectly 3 times the tester will be locked.
OPERATION
Providing your tester has V17 or later operating software loaded, then this can be un-
locked. Please refer to the relevant section.

______

SOFTWARE AD100Pro has the ability to store both a Standard version and Beta version of software.
The required software is selected each time the tester is used.

AD100Pro - SMARTCARD SECURITY B5
VERSION WITH SMARTCARD AND DONGLE

INTRODUCTION
A number of vehicles use coded access to gain security access to program keys.
Coded access systems consist of obtaining a challenge code from the vehicle, this code then needs to be converted
into a response code that the vehicle will recognise and therefore allow access to the programming function to be
performed.

The response code can be generated by 2 methods, as follows:

Emergency Smartcard Security
The function can be used temporarily if ALL smartcards have been lost.

SmartCard Security
The technician uses the SmartCard security system to generate the response code. The advantage of this
system is that website access is not required. (Except for SSangyong)

The smart card security system consists of a calculator and smart card.

The smart card is required for each vehicle manufacturer after the system has been selected from the main vehicle
menu. The tester will display a CHALLENGE code, to continue, the user must enter this code on the smartcard
calculator. A corresponding RESPONSE code is then displayed on the smartcard calculator, which must be entered back
into the tester. Providing the CHALLENGE/RESPONSE codes correspond, access to continue will be granted. After each
RESPONSE code is given the smart card's uses count on the smart card will be reduced by 1.

To protect the smart card and software the smart card has a number of security features built in as follows:

1. Each smart card can be used a maximum of 5000 times.

2. After 500 uses the smart card will need to be re-charged via the Advanced Diagnostics
website http://www.advanced-diagnostics.co.uk/htm/SmartCard-English.php. The card has a total of 10
recharges providing the 5000 limit.
3. Once the card has reached its 5000 limit, a new smart card will need to be used.
4. The smart card is unique to each tester.
5. The user has 90 seconds to enter a RESPONSE code. If it is not entered within this time then the tester will
generate a new CHALLENGE code. The code changes every 90 seconds while no RESPONSE code is entered.
6. The user will have 3 attempts to enter a correct RESPONSE code. After 3 incorrect RESPONSE codes the tester
will have to be turned off and re-started.

Operation
The PRO displays the SmartCard preparation screen, you click TICK to continue, when ready.

A) SmartCard Challenge code is displayed with a 90 second countdown.

B) User enters the 8 digit Response Code.
C) The TICK and CROSS appear on the screen.

The user then has 4 options;

i) Select TICK and the Response Code is CORRECT, the tester continues.
ii) Select TICK and the Response Code is INCORRECT. A new Challenge Code is displayed and the Response Code
entry is blanked and the 90 second countdown is reset. If the user continues to enter the incorrect response
code 3 times then the padlock screen is displayed and the tester must be restarted.
iii) If the user has mistyped the Response code, they can select the CROSS. The Challenge code remains the same
the Response Code entry is blanked and the countdown continues. They can repeatedly click the CROSS to
renter the Response Code but when the countdown reaches 0 then a new Challenge Code will be generated and
the countdown is reset to 90 seconds.
1v) The user does nothing. When the countdown reaches 0 a new challenge code is generated and the countdown
is reset to 90 seconds.

US PATENT #7,315,238

OPERATING
MANUAL
MVP Pro - INTRODUCTION C1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MVP Pro has the same software functionality and coverage as the AD100Pro, except uses electronic tokens when
programming.

Designed with simplicity in mind, MVP Pro integrates the variety of adaptors previously required for MVP by using simple
colour coded dongles that configure the tester, thus reducing the quantity of cables/adaptors required.

The MVP Pro is a hand held portable diagnostic system, equipped with 64MB of RAM used for the application data, and
512MB of Flash memory for the protocol handling system. In addition, it has a USB interface connection for fast software
downloads.

The large LCD 320x240 Touch Screen provides easy navigation/selection and the ability to display more information,
diagrams and incorporate a keypad entry system to allow easy alphanumeric entry for pin codes etc. Alternatively the
menus and screens can be fully navigated using the keypad.

The unit is capable of reading/clearing fault codes, displaying live data, programming keys/remotes, extracting pin codes
(certain vehicles), erasing/resetting immobiliser ECU’s along with other functions that a particular system may allow.

This revolutionary ‘Pay As You Go’ key programming system, uses electronic tokens which can be purchased easily and
quickly on the internet.

The MVP Pro is supplied with all available software applications and easily updated with new software from the internet,
at no cost, ensuring the technician always has the latest developed software.

This system uses electronic tokens to program vehicles, one token per vehicle and, along with never having to purchase
software again, allows anyone who wants to offer key programming, a step in the door at an affordable price.

POWER Powered via the diagnostic socket through a 25 way

D-Type cable system. If no power is available through the vehicle diagnostic socket then
CONNECTION
the adapter cable will have the vehicle battery connections.

VEHICLE The unit is supplied with a range of cables to cover various manufacturers. The smaller
adaptor cables use the ADC100 Master Cable, which connects to the tester. These
CONNECTION
adaptor cables can then be connected depending on which system is being tested

LCD The LCD BACKLIGHT is automatically switched on when the unit has power. This cannot
be switched off or adjusted. If the unit is not used for a period of time the LCD backlight
BACKLIGHT
will automatically switch off, and as soon as any key is pressed it will switch back on
again.

PASSWORD To stop unauthorised access the unit is fitted with a password system.
If the password is entered incorrectly 3 times the tester will be locked.
OPERATION
Providing your tester has V17 or later operating software loaded, then this can be un-
locked. Please refer to the relevant section.

MVP Pro - TOKENS
C5
INTRODUCTION

The tokens are stored on the MVP Pro and used each time a vehicle or key is Programmed, pin code is read. A warning
will appear before a token is taken.

The balance of tokens will stay on your web account until required. Each time tokens are loaded it will load the number
of tokens that you require added the tester.

Using a token only occurs when the key(s) have been programmed. Dependant upon which function is selected under
key programming will determine how many keys are programmed for each token, as follows:

Selecting ‘Add Key’

This normally only allows the programming of one key at a time and will use 1 token per key.

Selecting ‘Clear Keys’

This function will normally clear all keys and allow the programming of a number of keys eg GM Can on a Vectra allows
up to a max of 5 keys to be programmed. Programming the 5 keys in this method will only use 1 token not 5.

Tokens are not taken for:

• Programming Remotes (unless the remote is also used as the immobiliser)
• Live Data
• Fault Code Read/Clear
• Vehicles that are problematic to program do not use a token.

Warning
Be aware tokens are used if the cases of operator error ie incorrect system used to program keys, incorrect
transponders etc.

It is in your interest to ensure that you always maintain a reasonable level of tokens on your tester so that you don’t
run out at an inconvenient time.

EMERGENCY TOKENS

In those rare instances where no tokens are left on the tester, there are 5 Emergency Tokens that can be used from
the tester.

MVPPro - SMARTCARD SECURITY C6
VERSION WITH SMARTCARD AND DONGLE

INTRODUCTION
A number of vehicles use coded access to gain security access to program keys.
Coded access systems consist of obtaining a challenge code from the vehicle, this code then needs to be converted
into a response code that the vehicle will recognise and therefore allow access to the programming function to be
performed.

The response code can be generated by 2 methods, as follows:

Emergency Smartcard Security

The function can be used temporarily if ALL smartcards have been lost.

SmartCard Security
The technician uses the SmartCard security system to generate the response code. The advantage of this
system is that website access is not required. (Except for SSangyong)

The smart card security system consists of a calculator and smart card.

The smart card is required for each vehicle manufacturer after the system has been selected from the main vehicle
menu. The tester will display a CHALLENGE code, to continue, the user must enter this code on the smartcard
calculator. A corresponding RESPONSE code is then displayed on the smartcard calculator, which must be entered back
into the tester. Providing the CHALLENGE/RESPONSE codes correspond, access to continue will be granted. After each
RESPONSE code is given the smart card's uses count on the smart card will be reduced by 1.

To protect the smart card and software the smart card has a number of security features built in as follows:

1. Each smart card can be used a maximum of 5000 times.

2. After 500 uses the smart card will need to be re-charged via the Advanced Diagnostics
website http://www.advanced-diagnostics.co.uk/htm/SmartCard-English.php. The card has a total of 10
recharges providing the 5000 limit.
3. Once the card has reached its 5000 limit, a new smart card will need to be used.
4. The smart card is unique to each tester.
5. The user has 90 seconds to enter a RESPONSE code. If it is not entered within this time then the tester will
generate a new CHALLENGE code. The code changes every 90 seconds while no RESPONSE code is entered.
6. The user will have 3 attempts to enter a correct RESPONSE code. After 3 incorrect RESPONSE codes the tester
will have to be turned off and re-started.

Operation
The PRO displays the SmartCard preparation screen, you click TICK to continue, when ready.

A) SmartCard Challenge code is displayed with a 90 second countdown.

B) User enters the 8 digit Response Code.
C) The TICK and CROSS appear on the screen.

The user then has 4 options;

i) Select TICK and the Response Code is CORRECT, the tester continues.
ii) Select TICK and the Response Code is INCORRECT. A new Challenge Code is displayed and the Response Code
entry is blanked and the 90 second countdown is reset. If the user continues to enter the incorrect response
code 3 times then the padlock screen is displayed and the tester must be restarted.
iii) If the user has mistyped the Response code, they can select the CROSS. The Challenge code remains the same
the Response Code entry is blanked and the countdown continues. They can repeatedly click the CROSS to
renter the Response Code but when the countdown reaches 0 then a new Challenge Code will be generated and
the countdown is reset to 90 seconds.
1v) The user does nothing. When the countdown reaches 0 a new challenge code is generated and the countdown
is reset to 90 seconds.
