Is Product B worth $17 more than Product A?

Yes if you want a spare V200 VCI or program GM 5-button keys. If you already own a V200 and don't touch GM vehicles, the $398.00 kit at Locksmith Keyless covers the same work.

Are these two different key programmers?

No. Both are the Autel KM100 tablet with the same 5.5-inch screen, 64 GB storage, 2 GB RAM and 700+ vehicle IKEY coverage. Only the accessories in the box differ.

Which one has better ratings?

Product B, at 5 out of 5 from 8 ratings. Product A has a single rating averaging 2 out of 5, which is too thin to judge the hardware.

Can either one make a key for a Toyota or Ford with no working key?

No. Autel states the KM100 does not support all-keys-lost on Toyota and Ford cars. Both listings use the same tablet, so the limit applies to both.

Do I need the MaxiVCI V200?

The KM100 kit already includes a Bluetooth VCI, so the V200 is a spare or a second interface. It matters if you run two jobs at once or want a backup.

The tablets are identical, so lifespan depends on the 4,950 mAh battery and how you treat it. Product B's extra keys and VCI add usable hardware, not longer tablet life.

Autel MaxiIM KM100 Key Programmer vs Autel KM100 & Universal Key Tool & Generator with MaxiVCI V200 Kit

Both listings are the same Autel KM100 tablet, so the real choice is bundle versus bare kit. Product B adds a MaxiVCI V200 module and two extra GM/Cadillac 5-button smart keys, and its 8 ratings average 5 out of 5 against 2 out of 5 from 1 rating for Product A. At $415.00 at Channel Car Keys & Accessories versus $398.00 at Locksmith Keyless as of November 5, 2026, the $17 gap buys extra keys and a spare VCI. Buy the cheaper kit if you already own a V200 or only need the two included universal keys.

Today the Autel MaxiIM KM100 Key Programmer costs $17.00 less at its best price.
