I'm looking for some experience opinions on the DB-All bypass modules. I decided to pull the trigger and pick up an XK-Loader for updating firmware and I've seen this DB-All bypass pop up on quite a few cars I've looked up and it seems to be a nice data integration that will make many starters a lot simpler... but I wanted to get some experienced opinions from people who have used them to see how much luck you've had. Has anyone had any issues with programming them or features not working? I just want to get an idea before I start using them and find that they are "too good to be true".
Thanks in advance.

only used a few (less than 4) from local shops when i didn't have the one i needed on hand(inventory miscount)they are pretty standard when it comes to programming, and never had issues with them. I heard there were d2d, but i only use w2w anyways.
i usually keep fortin and idatalink (ADS) modules as these bypasses cover pretty much all vehicles. The benefits are select vehicles using ADS bypasses make the install a breeze, and some cars use the fortin for basic bypass (cheaper).
All in all, i stock both just to have an entire lineup for any vehicle i take on.

I picked up an XK-Loader2 and the Fortin bypass updater so that I can get either one. I will be picking up the idatalink updater in the near future so that I can have 100% coverage and option for any vehicle. I'm not entirely familiar with the ADS bypasses... what makes them such a breeze???

they are extremely useful when working on any PTS, and the ads pieces seem to integrate all the features for the toyota.
programming to wiring, is very detailed and accurate. ads offers KLON technology, which is a special software for the cars that NEED 2 keys to program, but customer only has 1. this is useful for ford, mazda, domestic applications.

I will keep that in mind. I mainly got the Fortin for a 2010 Altima I'll be doing shortly... it seemed to be the best option from the research I did. But I'll keep an eye on the ADS modules.
