ok, I see what you're asking, and I don't know, so maybe someone else will chime in.
The manufacturer suggests it can handle all 60 of the top car manufacturers.

So I guess I'm still confused, do you want to just program a new chip head/fob using data you pull from a car using the AD100, or also cut a mechanical metal key to stick into a door lock or ignition by cutting a blank key on a key machine? I see the features list has reading mechanical key code, which is interesting, I didn't know that info was stored in the car.
