what difference between CANMAX and PKALL?
Beside they support different vehicles and PKALL is not flashable.
Any other difference?

pkall will do the transponder bypass for alot of cars if loaded with correct firmware.

canmax will do transponder AND support canbus for data communication. This is helpful for newer cars taht use data for locks, triggers, trunk, etc.
this can save approx an hour to 2 hours easily off an install. you need to have the usb cable as well to update it to the correct firmware for the vehicle.
