    Solution:

    Autel vehicle coverage stops at 2020 for this model Cadillac. But the coverage is not 100% correct.  A CANFD adapter is required no matter what.

    IM508/IM608 2021 full size suv and trucks were released in July 2021.  CAN FD adapter and 24-digit BCM/ECM security code are required.

    Program 2021 Buick Envision Proximity with OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus

    What more advantages does obdstar X300 DP Plus have? Let’s read one user’s feedback:

     

    I bought it because it’s the 1st tool out that can do the 2021 GM, also 2021 Dodge.

    Clone gm bcm

    Has toyota akl bypass

    Ford akl active alarm bypass cable.

    You can buy the full adapter set and u get free motorcycle immo key learning. also PWC immo.

    Also has odometer change. I already have the odometer table from them and it’s got good coverage and works good.

     

    I used it today for the first time, 2007 (?) ford freestyle AKL. 2010 Pontiac g6 AKL, 2018 Hyundai sonata AKL proximity key.

    Right now I’m doing a 2018 Malibu proximity keys so far it’s done them all, and it was pretty quick pulling pins. both gm and Hyundai.

    so far it’s working out pretty good.

     

    Why I go with the obdstar X300 DP Plus / Keymaster DP Plus over the code cannibal?

    Because with the obdstar one you can buy the MOTO IMMO adapter set and it comes with ford AKL active alarm bypass cable. Toyota can cable. and also it gives u the motorcycle and PWC key programming license. can’t get that with code cannibal.

    and also the keymaster dp plus also has odometer capabilities. and I already have thr obdstar odomaster and it has good coverage. I’ve been happy with it.
