00:00If you're running a key-cutting or locksmith side hustle, or you're just deep into the KD
00:04tool ecosystem, you know how fast blank remotes eat into your margins.
00:08So I went digging for the best bulk deals out there, and these are the top 5 universal
00:12programmable remote keys for KD tools right now. Every single one of these has thousands
00:17of units sold and near-perfect ratings, so let's get into it.
00:22First up, the KD KD B09. This is the Hyundai-style 4-button remote,
00:27and you get 5 of them for $38.10. That works out to about $7.50 a key,
00:34which is honestly wild when you consider these are fully programmable with KD 900,
00:38KD 900+, URG 200, and the KD X2. The 4-button layout covers lock, unlock, trunk, and panic,
00:46so it fits a huge range of vehicles. Almost 5,000 sold with a 4.9 rating tells you the
00:53build quality
00:53holds up. If you're stocking your workbench, this is the one I'd grab first.
00:59Next, the KD NB11 multifunctional remote. This one's 5738 for a 5-pack, and it's rocking a
01:06perfect 5-star rating across nearly 4,900 sales. What makes the NB series special is that
01:13multifunctional part, you're not locked into one vehicle brand. Program it as NB11 or NB11-2,
01:19and it adapts to a massive list of makes. Three buttons, clean housing, solid tactile feedback.
01:26Yeah, it's a bit pricier per key, but the flexibility means you're not sitting on dead
01:31stock for models that never walk through your door. Now if you already have a drawer full of
01:36shells, product number 3 is the Smart Buy. This is a 2-pack of KD NB universal electronic chips,
01:43the 4,647 boards, for $27.55. These are the guts that work across the whole NB lineup, NB04,
01:52NB08-3, NB08-4, NB10 series, NB11, NB11-2, you name it. Compatible with KD Max, KD Mini, X2,
02:03and X4. It's basically a repair and refer play. Swap a dead board into a good shell and you've saved
02:10customer real money while keeping your cost down. 4.9 stars, and it makes a lot of sense as a
02:16backup
02:17stock item. Coming in at number 4, another NB11-5 pack, this one at 5861. Now you might be thinking,
02:25wait, that's basically the same as number 2. And you're right, but here's the thing,
02:30different sellers, different stock, and when one runs out you want a backup source.
02:35It's also sitting at a perfect 5 stars with over 4,600 sold. Same 3-button multifunctional setup,
02:42same compatibility with KD900+, URG200, and KDX2. Worth bookmarking so you're never stuck waiting
02:50on a restock mid-job. And rounding out the list, the KD B13. 5 keys for $42.07.
03:00This is the Toyota-style remote, and if you've been in this business more than a week,
03:04you know Toyota work never stops coming in. Available in B13-2 and B13-2 plus 1 configurations,
03:12so you've got options depending on whether the customer needs that extra button.
03:16Works with KD900, the Holby Series, KDX2, KD Max, and KD Mini. 4.9 stars from over 4,000 buyers.
03:26For roughly 8 bucks a key on one of the most requested vehicle brands out there,
03:30this one basically pays for itself on the first job.
03:34Alright, that's the list. Every link is down in the description if you want to check current pricing,
