Advanced Diagnostics Releases New Emulator Cable A DVANCED DIAGNOSTICS’ NEW EMULATOR CABLE enables the programming of replacement keys for both Ford and Toyota models when no working key is available. With Ford, the cable is required to shut down an active alarm. The emulator works together with the Smart Pro and Advanced Diagnostics software to create a mas- ter key in situations where all keys are lost for a range of Ford models with an active alarm and for Toyota models with HiTag-AES transponders. Key data is read from the vehicle using the Smart Pro software and then written to the emulator, which is connected directly to the Smart Pro via a USB cable. The emulator then becomes the master key for the vehicle, allow- ing additional keys to be programmed faster.
