And this is the continuation of our automotive series on automotive programmers. This was really my first programmer I bought. It was the MVP, now we'd call it the MVP Classic, it was token-based, it was very very effective for North American cars and over the years, buying all the bits and pieces for it, just loved it. It was good. I hate the tokens, but it worked, and it was very effective. Bought some clones of this, offshore clones, because I'm always trying different things, and I probably bought four clones.

The dongles would break left, right, and center. You could have the same car and you'd have two of them wouldn't work, the third one maybe would work, and you put this in and it worked every time. So, that's one of the arguments over some of the offshore-made clones, which are not proper, versus the real thing. As a professional locksmith company, doing automotive work-

You want to have equipment that's going to do 99% of the cars out there on a consistent basis.

And that's if we want to be consistently making money and that's been the biggest problem with some of the offshore-made stuff. So, again, we've had really good luck. Now, our two main machines we use is the MVP Pro and the Hotwire. We'll talk about why we do that. But, this has been a good product. I should actually, we should be upgrading this or sending it in to get a new one, or do they still have it?

This is the MVP Pro. It's compact. It does everything you want it to do. It has great consistency.

This is the one thing I love about this, compared to other products, a manual. Fantastic. It's detailed, it's thorough, it's absolutely fantastic. And when you're using products like the Autosmart books, they relate to your MVP.

The MVP is in the service truck 24/7. Not 24/7, we take it in at night. It goes to bed at night out of the truck. We don't leave it in the service truck. Even though the service truck is very well equipped, this is our baby, this is our bread and butter. Now, you can go token-based, we go monthly subscription.

Token-based can get as high as $37.50 a token if you're just buying 10 tokens at a time.

It's $285.00 US a month. If you buy a monthly subscription and you do 20 or 30 or 40 or 100 cars a month, it just makes more sense.

When you buy the MVP it comes with individual dongles that you plug into the unit for the different systems in the different cars you're working on. MVP recently has come out with a smart dongle. A smart dongle is a unit that will do all the cars, except the older Nissan, where you're not plugging into the OBD 2, you're plugging into an OBD 1. So, and the dongle for that is this one here.

So again, this replaces all these dongles but one. It's called the Super Dongle. A Smart Dongle. It's well worth the investment.

And it replaces this too. I guess you'd call it a converter. It would take the codes and convert it. This does it automatically. This was always a problem with people complaining that it broke and that they had all sorts of problems with these things. Now it's eliminated completely. The next component to this is what they call the Smart Aerial, which will allow you to precode keys for Fiat and stuff like that. So, the Smart Dongle, the unlimited token program, that's the way to go.

So again, this is our workhorse, great user manual, heavy-duty rubberized unit, Smart Dongle, absolutely fantastic. It's our go-to machine. However, we still find the occasional vehicle that this won't work, that's why we still use two main machines. We use the AD MVP Pro and we use the Hotwire. This is fantastic, I love the subscription model. It's expensive in theory, but if you do enough cars, it's not a big investment per month.

If you're in business, you're in business to make money and if you're buying tokens, you're not making money.

So again, stay tuned for our other videos in the series. This is the MVP Pro. Thank you. I hope you enjoyed watching this video.
