Autel APB300 MLB & MQB Key Programmer

Autel APB300 is a key programming device designed for Volkswagen Group MLB and MQB vehicles, enabling a new key to be added using a working original key. Depending on the vehicle and system, it supports Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, Škoda, Bentley, and Lamborghini vehicles.

APB300 reads the required immobilizer data directly from a working MLB or MQB key. The instrument cluster does not need to be removed for data reading — the original key is opened and placed into the APB300 programmer. This makes the Add Key procedure significantly more straightforward without the need for separate programming adapters.

APB300 works together with a compatible Autel MaxiIM tablet and supports programming of both the Autel IKEYVW3T universal key and the included Autel key circuit boards on supported vehicles.
