You might have been directed to this site because your scan tool is asking for credentials or identification to perform programming. This means you are attempting to perform a security related transaction with an automotive manufacturer or aftermarket tool that requires security credential validation to complete. This is the law enforcement supported method of performing security operations and is only required when performing security related repairs.
To perform certain security related automotive services such as programming keys, ordering codes or immobilizer resets, you will need to be registered through the National Automotive Security Task Force (NASTF) secure registry database. NASTF is a non-profit organization collaboratively formed by the automotive service industry, the equipment and tool industry and automotive manufacturers (OEMs) to provide credentials for technicians, mechanics and locksmiths to access secure automotive information and systems.
To determine what type of credential you may require, please follow this link.
For information on joining NASTF in order to service vehicles and access programming information directly from automotive manufacturers, follow the link to get started – www.nastf.org.
