Chinese programmers

[shutterstuff]

Anyone have any experience with the low cost Chinese auto transponder programmers? The price difference is huge! I see on Ali Express that an M8 with hundreds of tokens is about $1700 USD.

And you can not update the software or add more tokens, there is no tech support and best of luck to you getting warranty repairs if the screen craps out. Maybe you would be lucky and get one that comes on and all of the software works. A lot of them have issues.

I'm not even going to start on the whole stole the software from someone else and illegal pirating thing.

They are cheap for a reason.

If you are going to do it you are better off going to a legitimate supplier.

I been looking at some cloners and the problem is I can invest the cash into it or get a cheap one that if it breaks I get no support or warranty.

Also you have to be careful, I once purchased a set of programmers off ebay cables etc. and turns out they do not work and the software is poor.
