The OBDSTAR RT100 answers in two seconds the question that often starts key work: does this remote actually transmit? You hold the key fob in front of the device, press a button, and the light for the corresponding frequency band illuminates. If everything stays dark, the key isn't transmitting — and there's no point searching the vehicle.

The device recognises three bands: 300 to 320 MHz, 434 MHz and 868 MHz. It also tests the infrared function of a key: if the IR indicator lights up when you press a button, the infrared works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. The RT100 operates independently — no tablet, no cable, no software. Switch it on, hold the key in front, done.

KEY BENEFITS

Confirmation in two seconds: You know immediately whether the key transmits and on which band, before you start working on the vehicle.
Completely standalone operation: No tablet, no cable, no software and no licence required. Switch on and use.
Two tests in one device: Radio frequency and infrared function of the key fob.
Fits in your overall pocket: A handheld unit you take to the car, not the other way round.

LIMITATIONS

It shows that transmission occurs, not what is being transmitted. A key can transmit perfectly on 434 MHz and still not be programmed to the vehicle. The RT100 doesn't read codes and tells you nothing about pairing.
Three bands, not all of them. Keys transmitting outside 300–320 MHz, 434 MHz and 868 MHz won't be detected. In Europe this covers most cases, but not everything.
A dark indicator doesn't necessarily mean the key is faulty.A flat key battery will show the same result; replace it first before drawing any conclusions.
This is a tester, not a programmer.Remote key programming, erasing and PIN code reading are performed using a key programmer.

Applications and Features

The RT100 performs two functions, both in just a few seconds. Below is how it works and what it delivers for you.

The two tests

  • Frequency testing:Switch on the device, hold the remote control close to it and press a button on the key. The indicator light for the recognised frequency band will illuminate.
  • Infrared testing:Point the key at the device and press a button. If the IR indicator lights up, the infrared component is functioning; if it remains off, that component is faulty.

The three frequency bands

  • 300 to 320 MHz:The frequency predominantly used on American and Japanese vehicles; 315 MHz is the standard value in those markets.
  • 434 MHz:The most common remote frequency found on European vehicles.
  • 868 MHz:The higher European frequency band, used in newer models among others.

What you get

  • Before you start:Determine whether the issue lies with the key or the vehicle before connecting diagnostic equipment.
  • The correct tyre selection:Know which frequency a key transmits on, for example with an import or an unknown remote control.
  • Assessing a second-hand key:Check whether a used or replacement remote control transmits at all before you attempt to programme it.
  • Checking the infrared component separately:Some keys transmit an infrared signal alongside the radio signal; these two can fail independently of each other.
  • The customer something to show:A lit or dark indicator light is an explanation that's immediately understood at the counter.
💡
Good to know: Hold the remote control during testing as close as possible to the device and press a button briefly. If everything remains dark, replace the battery in the key firstBefore concluding that the remote control is faulty — a flat button cell battery produces exactly the same symptoms as a broken transmitter.\n
